But this will be where the film starts off and not its main focus, as the Hobbits have a bigger, more epic battle to fight.

Recently, director Peter Jackson revealed that The Battle of the Five Armies will be something of a "pdychological thriller."

A report sourced some of the highlights from the Empire Magazine's September cover story on The Battle of the Five Armies and Jackson's definition of the movie will definitely get fans excited.

"I think of this third movie as a psychological thriller with actions scenes interspersed in the middle of it," he said. "It has for a very tight narrative structure."

The Hobbit: The Battle of Five Armies will hit theaters on Dec. 18.
