So the third and final (let's hope) Hobbit film is getting a title change, but no, it's not Into the Fire…

Peter Jackson announced today that The Hobbit: There and Back Again is now officially The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies.

Kind of a mouthful, but I guess it sounds a bit more exciting than its first name. It'll be released on December 12th in the UK and the 17th in the US.
