GreyIstar has just left Hobbiton.
Sting Watching the SE Directer comentary....

I came across a few things that he said which were interestong.<P>1) When Aragorn is leaving Rivendell and looks at Arwen and PJ says "They won't be seeing each other for a long time." Not tiel ROTK I gathered. Makes me believe that Arwen will take Narsil as far as Lothlorien and Haldir who I believe is at Helms Deep will bring Aragorn the sword.<P>2) He hinted that the Evenstar given to Aragorn will comeinto play in some way. My guess it is when Eowyn asks who gave it to him. They talked why they gave it to Aragorn instead of Arwen giving it to Frodo at the end and they said it was more of a symbolism than anything.<P>3) The Scouring of the Shire isn't in the movie. They said Frodo looking in the mirror and seeing it is their homage to that part but it doesn't work as a movie. I tend to agree.<P>4) They talked about the magic chants Gandalf, Saruman, and Arwen used. Saruman was telling Caradharas to wake up, and Gandalf was pleading with it to go to sleep. Arwen did not raise the river herself. She just asked the river to rise up. Big Tolkien concept that nature has a spirit of its own.<P>5) He put Wings on the Balrog because Tolkien said it had wings, which he did.<P>6) He admitted that cutting down Lothlorien in the original version wasn't a very good thing but had to be done.
