Not sure about that. The first movie ends at page 140 of the book, the book (the one I have on my shelf) is 364 pages. So that leave 224 pages left, plus intermingling stuff from the appendices and embellishments. Perhaps with less exposition needed now the last 224 pages can be covered in the same timeframe as the first 140. But I think PJ is going to weave the extra stuff into the main story and Bilbo will be back in the Shire at the end of the 3rd movie. |
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Hobbit:_There_and_Back_Again#Third_film I know it's Wikipedia but it's still something:
"Although The Hobbit was originally made as a two-part film, on 30 July 2012, Jackson confirmed plans for a third film, turning his adaptation of The Hobbit into a trilogy.[138][139] According to Jackson, the third film would make extensive use of the appendices that Tolkien wrote to expand the story of Middle-Earth (published in the back of The Return of the King). While the third film will largely make use of footage originally shot for the first and second films, it will require additional filming as well.[140] The second film was retitled The Desolation of Smaug and the third film was titled There and Back Again in August 2012."
It's the last paragraph of the Third Film section.
