Just like the original 'Lord of the Rings' trilogy, this new 'quintology' is also called 'The Lord of the Rings'. The first film in the series is called 'The Lord of the Rings: The Rise of Shadow'. It incorporates footage from 'An Unexpected Journey', 'The Desolation of Smaug', and a little bit of 'The Fellowship of the Ring'. The second film in the series is called 'The Lord of the Rings: The Flame of the East'. It incorporates footage from 'The Desolation of Smaug', and 'The Battle of the Five Armies'. The third film would just be Peter Jackson's 'The Fellowship of the Ring', but a few minutes would have to be slightly altered (specifically the footage we used in 'The Rise of Shadow', since it wouldn't make sense in our story to show it again). ... The fourth film would just be 'The Two Towers', and the fifth would just be 'The Return of the King'""TLDR: We made a Hobbit fanedit to be two LotrR movies to match the tone. It is more about the ring than the dwarves.'"
