Jackson explains he “winged it” right up until the film’s climactic battle but was eventually forced to concede that production would have to be called to a halt while he worked out how to shoot it.Further Reading A Tolkien nerd’s thoughts on The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey The chaotic state of affairs on set in New Zealand helps explain why The Battle of Five Armies was pushed back by five months in 2013, from a July 2014 release date to its final December 2014 slot. “You’re going on to a set and you’re winging it, you’ve got these massively complicated scenes, no storyboards and you’re making it up there and then on the spot I spent most of The Hobbit feeling like I was not on top of it even from a script point of view Fran, Philippa and I hadn’t got the entire scripts written to our satisfaction so that was a very high pressure situation.” “It was impossible, and as a result of it being impossible I just started shooting the movie with most of it not prepped at all. “Because Guillermo Del Toro had to leave and I jumped in and took over, we didn’t wind the clock back a year and a half and give me a year and a half prep to design the movie, which was different to what he was doing,” reveals Jackson.
