    Ok, I got a title rename dillema.

    They have finally given a full name to the upcomming Hobbit movies.

    1st (2012) = The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey
    2nd (2013) = The Hobbit: There and Back Again​

    However, they do follow and are closely tied to the LOTR series, as per:


    I already had them in the rename database as:


    <rename id="tt0903624" title="The Lord of the Rings IV: The Hobbit (Part 1)" />
    <rename id="tt1170358" title="The Lord of the Rings IV: The Hobbit (Part 2)" />

    But now I'm lost as to what to do with these new titles. The options are:

    1.

    The Lord of the Rings I: The Fellowship of the Ring
    The Lord of the Rings II: The Two Towers
    The Lord of the Rings III: The Return of the King
    The Lord of the Rings IV: The Hobbit (Part 1)
    The Lord of the Rings IV: The Hobbit (Part 2)

    2.

    The Lord of the Rings I: The Fellowship of the Ring
    The Lord of the Rings II: The Two Towers
    The Lord of the Rings III: The Return of the King
    The Lord of the Rings IV: The Hobbit (An Unexpected Journey)
    The Lord of the Rings IV: The Hobbit (There and Back Again)

    3.

    The Lord of the Rings I: The Fellowship of the Ring
    The Lord of the Rings II: The Two Towers
    The Lord of the Rings III: The Return of the King
    The Hobbit I: An Unexpected Journey (Sortby = The Lord of the Rings IV: Hobbit 1)
    The Hobbit II: There and Back Again (Sortby = The Lord of the Rings IV: Hobbit 2)

    4.

    The Hobbit I: An Unexpected Journey
    The Hobbit II: There and Back Again
    ...(other movies would go inbetween)...
    The Lord of the Rings I: The Fellowship of the Ring
    The Lord of the Rings II: The Two Towers
    The Lord of the Rings III: The Return of the King

    I'm personally switching between option #2 and #3, but I know no matter what I go with, there will be people who dissagree.

    Any thoughts?

    Hmm it is a tough one indeed. Personally I've never read the books, and only seen the first 3 movies once, so there are probably others that have more feelings on this then me, but I like number 2.

    I would go with option 2 since 'grouping' is 1 of the major advantages of IMDb+ and everybody knows the previous 3 parts as a LOTR movie.

    AW: IMDb+ Scraper (Fix English, Rename+Group, RottenTomatoes, and more) v3.2.4

    FYI my FilmInfo+ autosorts and names the films as
    • Der Herr der Ringe: An Unexpected Journey
    • Der Herr der Ringe: There and Back Again

    The 2nd part of the title is still english as there are no entries on future yet to be released movies in most databases.

    I tend to overrule the automatic sorting with the 2nd option or split them off the LOTR trilogy as the hobbit is story wise only loosly connected... Also... in German its

    "Der Herr der Ringe" and
    "Der Hobbit"

    I might just control it through sorting only... Good that its still a year to decide... :)
