The stars were out for the world debut of 'The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies' in London on Monday (December 1). The film, which is based on J.R.R. Tolkien's novel 'The Hobbit', is the final part of Peter Jackson's trilogy set in the mythical realm of Middle Earth. Jackson, who first brought Tolkien's celebrated works to the big screen when he directed 'The Lord of the Rings' trilogy, had originally intended for 'The Hobbit' to be two movies, but he eventually found he had enough material to make three films. 'The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies' shows the hobbit Bilbo Baggins on his quest with Gandalf the wizard and 13 dwarves to claim a vast horde of treasure kept by the dragon Smaug at The Lonely Mountain, which was once a dwarf kingdom. The film also features a huge confrontation between an army of orcs and an uneasy alliance of elves, men and dwarves. 'The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies' opens in UK theatres on December 1
