The Hobbit in 3 Hours Januunderhilleditor 34 Comments This blog is meant to document some of the details that went into editing Peter Jackson’s three Hobbit films down into a single 3-hour movie that, I think, follows Tolkien’s original story as lovingly as possible. The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies opens December 17. We'll update this post as more posters are released.
That story alone will be fun to see unfold, along with the battle of the title, and so many more threads that have to get wrapped up in the highly anticipated film. It seems pretty likely the connective tissue between the trilogies will be the rise of Sauron from evil spirit the Necromancer into a giant eye overlooking the desolate lands of Mordor.
