*sigh* I have so little hope that they'll leave the Saruman/Gandalf confrontation at Isengard close to the book, or cool at all. "Saruman, you missed your path in life...." "Later! When you have the keys of Barad-dûr and the staffs of the Five Wizards...." "I think that even if we had raided the tower and searched, we would have found few treasures as great as this *scream* Saruman thinks so too..." (paraphazing 'cause I don't have the book with me) Like any of those will be in the EE. With what I've heard of it and seen in pictures...the trivia pursuit game comes out and says who kills Gríma...*sigh*
I've heard of some stuff of more things with Arwen at Rivendell building up to the Paths of the Dead. She's reading some books and sees stuff about the Paths and wants Daddy to go warn Arry (at least she doesn't go ). Evidence of this is that the page on the book she's reading is different when she slumps on her bed than when the book hits the ground.

Finally, here’s the stuff I had posted in MY EE thread, for discussion. Houses of Healing: Is Merry in need of healing? He goes to the Black Gates, after all! Drinking game between Legolas and Gimli, which seems out of character... Aragorn approaching the throne of Gondor, with drawn sword. First attempt to break gate with small battering ram (we saw this in the old TTT DVD preview) Merry getting wounded at Morannan battle, with Gandalf in a frenzy behind them. This is strange, since the wound looks desperate, but no sign of wounds later at the reuniting in Gondor. Pelennor fields – Éowyn fights more orcs

I believe, though I am not quite sure, that Grima kills Saruman by pushing him off the tower at Isengard. I'm entirely sure because my sources on many things are unreliable.

I recall in the film that when Sam came upon the Orcs in the Tower one of the four ran back up the stairs. Was he the one that Sam then skewered because if not then this could be how the news and the shirt got back to Sauron.

Well, I'm with you guys on most of what's been said here. I do have a comment though: I'm pretty shure PJ has stated that there will be a bloopers reel for each of the main characters (my question being 'How many does he concider MCs?'), though I have no reference to where or when this statement was made. Also I heard a rumor (nothing more, but I cling to it with high hopes) that the EE will last a total of 290 mins! (4 hours and 50 mins)... It'd be AMAZING if that's true!!!
Well, that's all for now guys and yes (who ever said so somewhere up the thread) it IS great to be back at the Downs!

All I would say is that in some respects the other EEs are going to be a better indicator of what happens than the cinema version .... I mean in FOTR there is a huge difference between what happens in Lorien ...... just a thought....
But if there is no more to the Faramir / Aragorn / Eowyn thing than that smug look... I will be annoyed

Knight, re your opinion on there not being an epilouge on the rotk EE
I take heart from what Jackson says near the begining of the FOTR EE commentary. He stated that the Galadriel character would 'bookend' the films with a prolouge/epilouge. so I reckon something has been done, but whether it gets included I'm not sure, but hope so. I mean it's the only book I've ever read where the Index makes me cry.........! |

sneak peak at EE
slightly random comment, but i did formerly find a sneaky way to know what was in the EE.
Having bought the sticker/picture book for TTT(to be used to help with painting the games workshop models), i noticed there where bits of the story in there that hadn't appeared in the movie.... sure enough, when the EE came out, these bits were included. i take it they must have written this book before they had finalised the editing.... dunno if it's true for the rotk one, but ya never know. D.D. (formerly Ringfenwen.... many years ago!) |

I really hope Sam's dealings with the watchers at the gates of Barad-dur is in there. I know it'll probably be to long to put in but maybe they have some footage from the scouring of the Shire but I doubt it.

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

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.

I think that maybe the coming of the Dunadin is in the extended verison because in Aragorn's pep speech in front of the gates of Mordor the way he phrased it sounded like they may be there.
Also to the person who thinks that Sam would not be considered a ring bearer because he never put on the ring. I got the feeling from the book that a person did not have to wear the ring to be a ring bearer, the person just had to be in possession of it. Example is how Frodo never put it on during the time between Biblo's departure and Frodo's but he did not age. |

Actual Proof
I just got back from Comic-Con International, San Diego. On friday, there was a special screening of clips of scenes that will appear in the EE. In addition, Billy Boyd and David Wenham were there, making it hard to hear over the girly screams.
Here's what I saw: ~Houses of Healing -Aragorn healing various people -Faramir and Eowyn on the balcony (very sweet. He says the line "In this hour I do not think any darkness could endure") ~The Mouth of Sauron ~Saruman -I saw one of him talking to Gandalf from his balcony -And another of him smacking Grima ~More of Eowyn and Aragorn ~Eomer finding Eowyn on the Pellenor ~Pippin finding Merry on the Pellenor. -this one was interesting. Billy Boyd gave an interesting tidbit of information by saying that they changed that scene in the theatrical version from daytime to nighttime for the EE. ~Faramir and Pippin talking about Faramir's family I think that's all. I tried to take notes but that didn't work out, so if I think of anything more I'll post it.

I just saw the RotK EE trailer...u can find it at http://www.hdr-see.de/, if you want. It's got a really bad quality, because it was video-ed by someone. So you can hear all the fans screaming during particular scenes.
It starts off with Saruman saying that he doesn't want Gandalf's mercy, and shoots a bolt of fire down at him from the top of Orthanc. My personal favorite scene was at the end, when Gandalf confronts the Witch King. The WK draws out a blade that catches fire and tells Gandalf "This is my hour". Though I heard that Gandalf actually loses this fight, which might make it my least favorite scene in the end |

Saraphrim: Thanks for the post! I myself didn't read it, because I've decided I want the last EE to be as much of a suprise as possible (not counting speculation ), but I saw it was a long list, so it must've been good!

Interesting....
Well, I've been reading all the posts of this forum, and one that I have found is not here. I was on a Frodo site, and I found some very interesting pictures... they're apparently from the TTTEE feturettes ect, the one on RotK.
They show what could happen if Frodo became like Gollum - which was a possiblity in LotR. I think they could be in the RotKEE, possibly as a dream of Sam's? If you want to see them: http://www.frodoforever.com/ttt2gal1.php They're about 12 lines down. There's eight of them (4 of Elijah Wood in make-up, 3 screencaps and one on-set). What do you think?

NZ Ringbearer: Somewhere in the vast assortment of commentaries on the TTT EE they tell us that they toyed with the idea of Faramir seeing what Frodo 'would become if he were to keep the Ring'. This is the Frodo that we see in the pics you linked us to (thanks!), & it happened after Frodo pushed the sword away & crouched down by those rocks just before Faramir decides to take them to Osgiliath. I've posted before that I think it would've been really cool if we could've had the option to watch TTT with that particular scene included, something you could turn on or off (like the cast commentary). While that doesn't sound like something PJ would really do, I still would've loved to see it !
So I don't think it'll be in the RotK EE, despite the fact that I'd love to see it somewhere. |
