This image released by Warner Bros. Entertainment shows a scene from the WWI documentary &quot;They Shall Not Grow Old,&quot; directed by Peter Jackson. Jackson drew on all the technical know-how of his big-budget spectacles to turn hundreds of hours of footage from the Western Front and audio of surviving soldiers into a seamless, unobstructed portrait of the war as seen from the British trenches. Jackson altered frame rates, colorized and turned 3-D the footage, even employing lip readers to capture dialogue. (Warner Bros. Entertainment via AP)

FILE - In this Dec. 9, 2014 file photo, Peter Jackson arrives at the Los Angeles premiere of &quot;The Hobbit: The Battle Of The Five Armies&quot; at the Dolby Theatre. Jackson says he is now realizing that Harvey Weinstein’s advice to avoid working with Mira Sorvino or Ashley Judd was likely part of a smear campaign against the two actresses. Jackson tells Stuff that he was told in the late 1990s that they were “a nightmare” to work with and thus didn’t consider either for his Lord of the Rings films.(Photo by Chris Pizzello/Invision/AP)

MOVIE REVIEW: ‘Five Armies’

By Peter Suderman Special to The Washington Times

FILE - In this Jan. 20, 2012 file photo, Peter Jackson is interviewed at the 2012 Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah. Jackson is tweaking the ending of Bilbo Baggins' journey. The director says the original title of &quot;The Hobbit&quot; finale felt misplaced since Baggins arrived at his destination in the second film. &quot;There and Back Again&quot; better suited a film that wrapped up a two-part story instead of a trilogy. So the final film based on the J.R.R. Tolkien fantasy adventure has being renamed &quot;The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies.&quot; (AP Photo/Chris Pizzello, File)
