'The Hobbit The Battle of the Five Armies' Spoilers: Title Change From 'There and Back Again' Pointless? [VIDEO]
In a recent interview, cast member Jed Brophy spoke about The Hobbit trilogy and how he didn't see the point of the title of the movie being changed from There and Back Again to The Battle of the Five Armies.

Brophy spoke to TheOneRing.net and was funny about giving away any spoilers. When he was asked if he could dish anything about the movie's plot, the actor took off on a mock storyline which had the most implausible twists.
"Well Nori basically saves the day. I think he saves Gandalf and he definitely saves Bilbo," he said. "He has a romance with Kili - kills Tauriel and has a romance with Kili... Then he and Fili have a big fight and he accidentally kills Fili; then Thorin comes around the corner and he accidentally kills Thorin."

But when Brophy was questioned about the title change of the film he gave a more honest response stating that he was not in agreement with the change and didn't see why it was needed.
"I'm not sure what was wrong with the first title; I really liked 'There and Back Again', because I think it ties up the whole story, and ties it in to the book that Bilbo gives to Frodo in Lord of the Rings. But I think it all comes down to studios and how they like to market things; 'The Battle of the Five Armies' makes it sound epic," he said. "I just think they're kind of missing the point that the fans are going to go and see this anyway! That's always been a strange thing, for me - that studios tend to get so worried about whether their following will go and see something that they're really passionate about. I just think make a good film - the rest takes care of itself. Having said that, I don't think 'The Battle of the Five Armies' is a bad title for the film - but personally I liked 'There and Back Again'."
The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies will hit theaters on December 18.
