Eowyn at the Black Gate? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

In the new ROTK trailer, we hear Aragorn giving a rousing speech to some troops. Now, it could just be clever editing for the trailer, but it seems that Eowyn is listening to this speech, and Merry is with her. However, a later shot shows Aragorn before the Black Gate!<P>I was just wondering if anyone knows how the screenplay for ROTK would deal with the Witch King/Eowyn/Merry sequence - does it happen before the Black Gate? There was also the brief shot in the DVD preview of Pippin holding a wounded Merry. They do not meet on the Pelennor in the book, so maybe PJ has fiddled with the ordering? What do people think?
