Hobbit Title Speculation

Hobbit Title Speculation

We’ve seen some recent news filtering through about production on the two Hobbit films beginning in New Zealand, recently it was revealed that the official start date of production is 21 March 2011. It seems like rumours are continuing this time about what the titles of the films may be.

Current speculation suggests the first film may be called “The Hobbit: There and Back Again” with the second film “The Hobbit: An/The Unexpected Journey”. Both titles conjure up images from Tolkien’s books, it also seems even further confirmation that the idea of a film which bridges the period between when ‘The Hobbit’ ends and when ‘The Lord of the Rings’ begins has been shelved for the time being.

Once production is underway no doubt more news will begin filtering through regarding the two films, stay tuned on accessreel.com for more info and perhaps later this year, a teaser trailer!

Leith spent most of his formative years growing up on the coastal fringes of Western Australia without a cinema in sight. There he grew up on the wonders of home rentals before relocating to Perth and gaining access to a proper cinematic experience just in time for the Star Wars Special Edition re-releases. From there Leith's love of movies expanded to volunteering on a Star Wars fan film, reviewing films, writing about film news, and attending film and pop-culture related conventions on the other side of the world. Leith's favourite films are too many to mention but all start with the Star Wars saga, Back to the Future, the Dark Knight trilogy, Indiana Jones, Lord of the Rings and all things Kevin Smith. With an insatiable appetite for all things pop-culture related Leith also has an unhealthy addiction to the world of comics and can often be found buried under a pile of unread back issues madly trying to catch up on a number of titles coming out from mostly DC and Darkhorse.
