Subject: What will The Hobbit: There and back again be about?

An Unexpected Journey was about the journey up until the eagles saved Thorins company from the orcs. The desolation of Smaug will be about Mirkwood, the death of smaug and the battle of five armies. what will there and back again be about? the return journey is all I can think of (which would suit the name)But Tolkien didn't really detail it, Just that Gandalf took him back to the shire with a chest of gold and one of silver.

"I will show you how a true Prussian officer fights!"

"And i will show you where the iron crosses grow..."

- "Cross of Iron"

Expanded lore from return of the king probably. (Where they got most of the extra stuff from in the first movie)

I imagine it will focus more on the Necromancer and Sauron's return to Mordor, so that it ties in with Lord of the Rings.

Oh. I haven't read it awhile. Maybe it'll be 5 minutes long with just Gandalf talking to Bilbo! Nah, OT: They will probably find all the treasure, load it and go on another adventure on the way home.

The desolation of Smaug will be about Mirkwood, the death of smaug and the battle of five armies.
Was this ever confirmed? I feel like the battle of five armies would be in the third film.

This, I don't remember hearing that the battle of five armies was going to be in the second film. It might also expand on the Necromancer.

eitherway, you can't make the battle of five armies last an eniter (peter jackson) film. even if the battle of five armies is in the third film, there will have to be more to it.

OF COURSE IT WILL BE AWESOME! except for the fact that at one point I will force my self to do a marathon of The Hobbit/LoTR because of it, That will be hell.

I'm sure they will find a way to make it work. I'm already thinking about how cool the next one will be :D

I figured they'd divide the book into three parts for the three movies. Where did you hear this?

A few place, like Here, which states the third film would make extensive use of the appendices that Tolkien wrote to expand the story of Middle-Earth . all that has a chance of being in the third film is the battle of five armies, even then, that is unlikely as it happen right after the death of smaug.

Imo movie two will be beorn through the death of smaug and movie three will be BOFA through the end (withe necromancer stuff).

  • 12.30.2012 3:09 PM PDT

Desolation Of Smaug:
-Meeting Beorn
-Mirkwood (arrival and escape)
-Laketown
-Meeting Bard and the other characters
-Confronting Smaug
-Battle of Laketown as the climax of the film.

There And Back Again:
-Battle of the Five Armies, lasting for about as long as the battle in Return of the King.
-Sauron/The Necromancer expanded role
-The conclusion of the Dwarves story
-Bilbo returning to The Shire with the ring, flashing forward sixty years later to the start of Fellowship of the Ring.

The only thing that will definatly be in movie three, is the white council chasing The Necromacer out of dro guldur, and revealing who his, to those who haven't looked into the lore like alot of the fans (myself included) have.

Battle of lake town was essentially Smaug against a few archers Including Bard the Bowman, wasn't it?
