Peter Jackson, director of the “Hobbit” movie franchise, announced on his Facebook page Thursday morning that the third and final “Hobbit” movie has a new name.
票房大作《霍比特人》（The Hobbit)系列的導(dǎo)演彼得?杰克遜（Peter Jackson）于本周四（美國時(shí)間）在Facebook上公布了第三部電影更名的消息。

Originally titled “There and Back Again,” Jackson wrote that the new name will be “The Battle of the Five Armies.” Rumors of a name change have been circulating for the past week, sparked when fan site reported that New Line had registered the name “The Hobbit: Into the Fire.”
杰克遜寫道，“三部曲中的最后一部《去而復(fù)返》（There and Back Again）已更名為《五軍之戰(zhàn)》（The Battle of the Five Armies）?！痹谶^去的幾周里，有關(guān)片名變更的謠言層出不窮，粉絲網(wǎng)站甚至傳言說第三部將更名為《火海之戰(zhàn)》（暫譯）（Into the Fire）

The franchise’s studio Warner Bros. confirmed the change.
目前電影制作公司華納兄弟也證實(shí)了這一消息。

In the “Hobbit” franchise, the now titular battle refers to epic showdown in which many previously introduced characters and creatures, including goblins, dwarves, elves and men, emerge to go up against each other.
在第三部中，一場(chǎng)史詩般的對(duì)決即將上演，前兩部中出現(xiàn)的諸多角色和生物：半獸人、矮人、精靈、人類紛紛崛起，陷入了這場(chǎng)大混戰(zhàn)。

While only two “Hobbit” films were originally planned, a third was added after Jackson borrowed characters from the “Lord of the Rings” franchise and added some original story. “An Unexpected Journey,” the first “Hobbit” movie, grossed a whopping $1 billion worldwide. While the sequel “Desolation of Smaug” made less, it still had a huge take with $953 million worldwide.
由于最初的計(jì)劃是將《霍比特人》制作成兩部曲，杰克遜不得不從《指環(huán)王》（Lord of the Rings）三部曲中借調(diào)一些角色，并增加了一些原創(chuàng)情節(jié)來豐富第三部電影。第一部《意外之旅》（An Unexpected Journey）的全球票房收入高達(dá)10億美元，而第二部《史矛革之戰(zhàn)》(The Desolation of Smaug)表現(xiàn)雖稍顯遜色，也大刀闊斧拿下了9.53億的全球票房收入。

Jackson also revealed in the post that editing on the final movie is almost complete, and that there will be an extended cut of “Desolation of Smaug” with 25 minutes of new scenes.
杰克遜在Facebook上還透露，第三部的剪輯已基本完成，另外還會(huì)有一個(gè)加長版剪輯，內(nèi)容是第二部《史矛革之戰(zhàn)》中一些未公開的片段，時(shí)長約二十五分鐘。
