Peter Jackson’s film adaptation of J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Hobbit could have been many things. At first conceived as a stand-alone movie before he tackled The Lord Of The Rings, the idea of making it as a prequel to the epic trilogy slowly emerged in the decade after.

That was until Del Toro left the project and Jackson returned, boosting the number of films to three.
