We’re down to the last two months of 2014, and with them comes the final
wave of tentpoles and big-budget offerings for the year. December’s The
Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies is not just one of the big studio epics
on the way, it’s also a true “event film” in the sense that it concludes both
director Peter Jackson’s Hobbit movie trilogy and his six-part Middle-earth

for Interstellar(opening in select IMAX theaters today). In the meantime, we
can offer some images from the film, along with some insight from Jackson on
what distinguishes this obbitadventure from its Middle-earthean predecessors.
Battle of the Five Armies promises to be something of a non-stop ride,
between the dragon Smaug (Benedict Cumberbatch) descending upon the
residents of Laketown as he set out to do in the cliffhanger ending to The
Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug; the other members of the White Council,
including Galadriel (Cate Blanchett) and Saruman the White (Christopher Lee),
setting out to assist Gandalf (Ian McKellen) and banish The Necromancer/
Sauron before he can recover his full strength; and various races of Middle-
earth (dwarves, elves, orcs, etc.) assembling for a massive fight to take control
of the Lonely Mountain, now that Smaug has been driven out......
