What do you think will be in the EE?

[The Only Real Estel]

Well, now that the Original Version is out, & we've all (hopefully) had a chance to see the movie again, what do you think will be in the EE? Several things that I thought PJ had simply discarded I noticed loopholes for a possible EE appearance, but here's my list of what I expect so far (starting with the obvious ones):

*The Wizard Confrontation & Saruman & Grima's deaths

*House of Healing scenes (& plenty of them), including a lot more development between Faramir & Eowyn

*The Mouth of Sauron

*The 'bridge scene' between Arwen & Elrond

*Epilouge by Galadriel

*Expanded role of the Watchers at Minas Morgul? (After watching it again, I noticed that they only show them, then switch to Sam already past them, entering into the actual stronghold, so there's a good possibility that they'll stick in more of the Watchers)

*Perhaps a short battle with Aragorn, Legolas, Gimli, & the Dead Army vs. the Corsairs? That's not so likely, but it's still possible...

*Witch King vs. Gandalf, with Gandalf's staff being broken by the Witch King's awesome mace .

*Aragorn killing the cauliflower-head 'orc', aka: 'Gothmog'. I can't wait to see the character that shouldn't have been in RotK get knocked off (especially after the rock missed him...)!


There were a few other not-so-obvious ones I noticed when I watched it, but I can't think of them right now .
What do you guys expect/guess will be included in the EE?

Aragorn and the palantir (sp)? When Gandalf and Pippen go to the barn before heading for Minas Tirith, Gandalf is carrying it. When they get on Shadowfax he isn't and nothing more is said about it. Also Merry and Theoden.

[The Only Real Estel]

Also Merry and Theoden.

Of course!! That's one that I forgot . I really hope that they make more of Theoden & Merry's relationship, perhaps even add Theoden's last words to Merry about never hearing his herb lore, but I'm not sure that they can get that in there .

The problem is that there is soooooo much that they could add and probably a lot more that they wish they could add. I don't know if I think that will be in there (Aragorn and the palantir. It was just something odd that I had noticed.

[Lalaith]

*Denethor revealing that he has a palantir.

*Eomer discovering Eowyn on the battlefield.

I feel fairly confident about both of these.

Expanded role of the Watchers at Minas Morgul?

I was hoping that this would be in the Extended Edition but, having watched the theatrical version on DVD the other day, I am now doubtful. Jackson avoided Sam using the Ring because he wanted the audience to think that it had been taken by the Orcs who had captured Frodo right up to the moment when Sam reveals it. So, assuming he wants to maintain this approach in the EE, Sam would have to use some other way of getting past the Watchers.

Perhaps a short battle with Aragorn, Legolas, Gimli, & the Dead Army vs. the Corsairs? That's not so likely, but it's still possible...

I recall reading somewhere that additional footage involving the Corsairs was shot. So I still think there's a good chance of the battle at Pelargir being included.

Denethor revealing that he has a palantir.

Denethor certainly has a line which suggests this (something about him being able to see more than Gandalf gives him credit for). But, if he did have a Palantir, I would have expected to see it in the Pyre scene. Mind you, I wouldn't object to new scenes being inserted here which are closer to the book, or at least ones which don't involve Shadowfax kicking Denethor into the flames.

I think that the others mentioned are all pretty likely. I was wondering whether the Mouth of Sauron will appear as the gates open (before Aragorn and co withdraw back to the main force) or whether this will happen once Aragorn's army is encircled. Watching the film again, the latter seems more likely.

Incidentally, I wonder whether the Mouth will have the Mithril Shirt, given that the Orc most likely to have carried it back to Sauron (Shagrat, I think), gets skewered by Sam.

wasn't it the Rohirrim in the movie that trampled him?

[The Only Real Estel]

wasn't it the Rohirrim in the movie that trampled him?

So it appeared, Gil-Galad. But like we've said some, a lot of us saw a special on RotK on ABC before the movie came out, including footage of Gothmog being killed by Aragorn (with help from Gimli, possibly).

Howard Shore will be doing his cameo as a Rohirric soldier in the EE! I saw a pic of him in a full costume and I must admit that he looked very soldier-like, very good.

[Gil-Galad]

well in the trailer you see Eomer mourning for the dead...so that could be another thing...

[Knight of Gondor]

TheOneRing.net confirms many of the things that I already rumored to y'all! Check it out! Eowyn fighting Gothmog! I'd never have thought of that!!
