"the Shelob scene occurs at the end of the Two Towers book. However, Jackson has chosen to push it back to the beginning of The Return of the King. One of the reasons for this is that the scenes between Sam, Frodo, Gollum, and Faramir have been expanded, perhaps to build upon Faramir's character and tie plotlines together a little more tightly. Jackson declined to comment how The Two Towers would end, but said viewers wouldn't be disappointed.<P>I don't mind at all if they expanded characters interaction between each other, in fact it is awesome, but the way that PJ is talking about the end sounds like if it will be a utterly unexpected end, and to me it means another big change...indeed only the fact that Shelob will be removed at the beginning of ROTK instead of end of TTT is a huge change, but then what kind of other end could make viewers really happy and not disapointed that could be done??..I can't see any other end then Frodo's "death". <BR>Will it end in the stairs of Cirith Ungol? Gollum clutching at Sam running behind a crazy Frodo? It surely cannot end this way, then it means another revision, isn't it?
