Treebeard looked totally cool. Gollum too. I am liking Eowyn more and more, but I was a bit miffed by those Arwen-Aragorn scenes. They are getting a little too close to eachother for comfort. Aragorn and Arwen had such an incocent and devoted romance in the books, PJ had better not push the sensuality angle in his films or I will be boiling along with a lot of my friends. Wargs and Oliphants! YES! Everything looks soooo cool!

"bring the people to Helm's Deep..."? And Eowyn talking about 'They were unarmed, they were unprepared...'?

I am worried that the healing of Theoden won't be nearly as dramatic as it should be...maybe just because I haven't seen a shot of Theoden looking old and feeble yet.

Faramir takes Frodo and Sam to Osgiliath? Fighting at Osgiliath would be cool to see, and leaves lots of room for interpretation by the director, but still...

Frodo falling over in the dead marshes...? *shrugs* again, more of PJ's Frodo, who is a little wuss, as opposed to Tolkien's Frodo, who is a real stand-up Hobbit (until he gets poisoned by Shelob).

ents are going to be sweeet...

Wargs...cool.

Oliphaunt!

Gollum looks pretty good, can't decide yet if he's too 'cartoony'.

Elves at Helms Deep...hmmph! We're men...we don need no steenkin elves! (except Legolas, he's cool)

Can't wait, can't wait! As we already knew, it all looks visually spectacular. That's enough of a reason to see it at least once or twice.

Just to clear a few things up: The scenes between Aragorn/Arwen/Elrond are rumoured to be flashbacks, something that Arwen might see in the Galadriels mirror. If you go frame by frame you can catch a shot of Elrond talking to Aragorn. He looks (to me) a lot younger. The people Eowyn talks about are likely just some village that is sacked for dramatic effect. It's an ent that picks up Pippin (looks awesome).

Complaints? Sure. The Wargs, for the split-second they showed, looked a little fake. I thought Gollum was fake as well, but after viewing the Quicktime version I actually love his look. Did you notice the shot of the Black Gates (Morannon)? That dropped my jaw. While we're on the subject of jaw-droppers, what about that shot that zooms out of Orthanc and we see some 10,000 orcs gathered? Wow. The Oliphaunt also looked a little fake, but since it was such a quick shot I'll let it slide. My favorite shot was the second to last: We see the break of day and white horse on it's back feet, and it's rider wielding a sword. It's obviously Gandalf coming with the reenforcements, but it's such an incredible shot. That ties in with a couple of shots earlier: Gandalf leading an army right into the thicket of Orcs. It's so picturesque. shivers

That eases my mind. I'm like, why the heck are Elrond and Aragorn having the "You can't have my daughter" talk now? That would be just to horribly soap-operatic and non-Tolkien. It makes more sense as a flashback...Come to think of it, it would have to be a flashback...When and where would they have time to talk?

Wargs? Oliphaunts? I seemed to have missed those...What are Wargs doing in the picture? An Ent! I'll have to go back and look at it again. The leg looked claw-y and sinewy like a dinosaur/bird, so I thought it might be a Nazgul...An Ent...Hmmm. Must go look....

Leto

09-30-2002, 10:00 PM

I'm pretty sure there were wargs at helms deep, or wolves at least...why not have some orcs riding them? The Oliphaunt was just a brief shot, we saw it charging towards the screen. Didn't really get a good look at it.

Talimon

09-30-2002, 10:05 PM

Yes, it would be out of place. New rumours say that it might even be from the Extended Version of FotR, but I like the flashback story better.

Wargs, as seen, are a "fabrication", so to speak. They might have been in Helm's Deep, but here we see them during the day over a grassy field. This might have to do with the sacking of Rohirrim villages, who knows.

The Oliphaunt is from the book. When Faramir and his soldiers ambush the Haradrim/Southrons an Oliphaunt appears (much to Sam's delight).

Thorin

09-30-2002, 10:10 PM

I know what Wargs and Oliphaunts are, Tal!! Give me SOME credit! Sheesh! :rolleyes: :D

I'm saying that I didn't see them in the trailer..

And actually, Wargs aren't a fabrication. They tried to attack the Fellowship at Eregion....

Ariana Undomiel

09-30-2002, 10:35 PM

Yeah I sure hope that those Arwen-Aragorn scenes are brief flashbacks and they don't hint at any sexuality. I mean that would totally bring down the innosence of their love relationship. Anyway, if you wanna see screen by screen captures go to theonering.net. They are gonna update that as soon as possible with information for each capture.

Well, I just viewed it on Quicktime and am mightily impressed. First, there were wolfriders at Helm's Deep. Pippin and Merry describe them coming out of Isengard as they lay in waiting with Treebeard. from The Two Towers, Flotsam and Jetsam
I saw the enemy go: endless lines of marching Orcs; and troops of them mounted on great wolves.The Wolfriders appeared too quickly on the trailer to make a determination as to their appearance but it looked pretty good to me. Analyzing the Oliphant frame by frame made it look very good also. Gollum looked good too, except he appeared a tad bit too small. All in all, I have little criticism.... yet. :);)

Leto

10-01-2002, 05:53 PM

Gandalf falling with the balrog, fighting...he has sword in hand (pause at the scene with him and the balrog, it's really easy to see) It's good they show this. Settles some of our arguments. However he managed to get it back, he does indeed have Glamdring as he fights the balrog, "ever he clutched me, ever I hewed him"...

I don't know why people (in other threads), make such a big deal about Gandalf recovering Glamdring during his fall. I mean, he IS a wizard, and it is a magic sword...like Shadowfax, who comes at his bidding from leagues away; Glamdring was His sword, which was really inseperable from his character in LOTR.

Ariana Undomiel

10-01-2002, 06:36 PM

Ok, people, you have to get the trailer from the official site now. The quality is fantastic and really brings out the true beauty that's there. Sacred bovine! I am soooooo excited about the Two Towers. Why do we have to wait so long? Argh!

10-01-2002, 08:03 PM

I already commented on it in another thread, but I'll drop my two cents into the mix here too.:D

Ok, it's pretty awesome. The Rohirrim looked great in their outfits, as did Gollum. Elrond is as cranky as in FotR, I don't like that. The "humans are a virus" attitude lasts a bit too long.
Of course, we've only seen Treebeard's feet, but they looked extremely well done, and moved quite naturally. (I really assumed those were Treebeards legs, because of the action figure I saw on some other website.)
Only Gandalf's charge into a solid wall of phalanx-like warriors looked pretty lame. Nobody informed PJ this is a very unwise tactic?
The lack of narration was obvious, but I don't know if it matters.
I'm very eager to see what they've done with Gandalf's fight with the Balrog, and what these wolf-riders will be doing.

hmm, one thing i can say for it; the music is freakin awesome.

the warg looks like a George Lucas creation,

hmm, methinks Eowyn needs to be more busty Xena-like lol :D

Elrond and Arwen scene is the Arwen decision to join Aragorn and become mortal; she brings Aragron his banner.

And gollum??? is there any semblance bw gollum between the two movies??? hmmm

Really Talimon. You are putting out rumours yourself. From Lee's statement there is no way to tell if he dies at the end of the TT or if they postpone the scene to the RotK. The shots of Saruman impaled on the water wheel of course could be a hoax put up by PJ himself... but I doubt it. I expect we will see Saruman killed as filmed and then appear in RotK in flashback scenes. But, it is only another month and a half. I'll let the movie speak for itself. :D

Talimon

11-04-2002, 09:08 PM

Well, the main rumour was that Saruman dies at the end of TTT. This was supposedly put in there to make a bigger "climax" for the movie. This would have happened when Gandalf/Aragorn/Theoden etc. are in front of him. I'm not saying he doesn't die impaled on a wheel, but it doesn't happen in TTT. That's what's important here. And the fact that Grima is the one that kills him, of course (which is suggested by the fact that he too survives until RotK). Since I highly doubt PJ will start RotK with Saruman being killed, let alone have it as a flashback (talk about anti-climactic), that leaves me optimistic.

There were 2 main rumours making the rounds just a few months ago:

1. Arwen fighting at Helm's Deep.
2. Saruman being killed in TTT.

They have both now been refuted. Just a sign on how much you should really trust these rumours.

The fact that Peter Jackson decided NOT to include them in the movie doesn't mean that the statements weren't BASED on the truth of the time. IF Liv Tyler had more of a commanding battle presence and PJ thought the scene would have worked.... we would be seeing Arwen at Helm's Deep. There were absolutely, postively scenes of Arwen/Liv fighting at Helm's Deep. She (Liv) just sucked at it.

And, again, Christopher Lee could still be impaled at the end of TT and be seen in flashbacks in FotR. If it doesn't happen in TT that would mean that TT will end at Helm's Deep and RotK will probably start with Flotsam and Jetsam. If that occurs, I am sure it will be because we have sooooo much created plot in Rohan via Eowyn's expanded role. :)

Talimon

11-05-2002, 03:30 AM

I am pretty sure that they go to Orthanc in TTT. PJ says in the fan magazine that Helm's Deep will end 10 minutes before the end of the movie. I think those 10 minutes are solely for them going to Orthanc. But maybe you're right, since 10 minutes in retrospect does seem like a short amount of time (considering that you have to finish Sam and Frodo's tale as well). We'll see.

As for Arwen, I have yet to see a reliable source backing up this "she wasn't fit for fighting" claim. I've heard folks saying it before, but I haven't seen anything backing it up, from PJ or otherwise. All I've seen, in fact, is just one screenshot of her there. But for one it's very fuzzy, and two it could have easily been done in photoshop. This will be a point no doubt cleared on the TTT DVD (next year). If Arwen was ever meant to fight at Helm's Deep, I think it was so far back in the script that it doesn't really matter. While certainly amusing, the road which the film-makers took to create the film doesn't alter the quality or content of the film.

if Helm's Deep finishes with just 10 minutes left in the movie, there is no way they are going to Isengard in TTT, or if they do they won't get to 'flotsam and jetsam' anyways. And who knows where Frodo and Sam will be at the end of the movie...somewhere before Shelob's lair, but how close we don't know yet. Somewhere after they meet Faramir, we have to guess...though the circumstances of meeting him and the rangers will be different (we know they go to Osgiliath, and it is 'under seige') how that will affect the set up to the siege of Minas Tirith, we can't tell.

Talimon

11-05-2002, 09:48 PM

If you are reffering to 'Flotsam and jetsam' as Merry and Pippin telling them about Treebeard, I don't think that will be done as a flashback. I get a hunch that we will see it in real time. Maybe they don't go to Isengard until the end of the RotK, on the way home. That could work, except the fact that Saruman still has his staff. But Gandalf could break it later, in theory. That just leaves the question of how Merry and Pippin meet up with folks. Maybe Treebeard makes a guest appearance at Helm's Deep, with M & P and the Hurons? I hope not :). We'll see.

I saw the very quote which you say doesn't exist in an article from a link at www.theonering.net which is no longer there.

I can only assure you that I read PJ's own thoughts on the matter and that he related that the scenes had, indeed, been shot and they were not used because Liv was not comfortable in the role. I will continue to try and find the article for you as I'm not sure my word will be good enough here. :D

Aragorn almost certainly has to get his hands on the Orthanc palatir - before the road home in RotK.

I think Flotsam & Jetsam might make a decent opening for RotK - start it out with the riding to Isengard or something - could work.

There's also the slim possibility that Saruman will still be taken care of in TTT - during the battle of Helm's Deep - by Gandalf, before he arrives with the reinforcements. This would probably appear a little anti-climatic to the Helm's Deep battle though, having their leader taken out in the midst of the battle.

Thorin

11-06-2002, 07:12 PM

There was rumor of both things happening. Saruman sounded like he would be eliminated during the second film. However, in an interview with Christopher Lee, it sounded like Saruman would be in all three movies. Whether he is there in flashback in RoTK or in actual presence may be the issue.

Talimon

I trust your word, it's only your memory I question ;). Because I know that I could have sworn to have seen certain quotes and have only gone back to find that they were either different or said by different people. I have never seen quotes by PJ himself, but I'll be grateful if you can find them. As I said, though, if Arwen was ever meant to fight in HD it was a long, long time ago. Certainly not a recent change, I don't think.

Grond

11-07-2002, 02:31 AM

Talimon, I want to say I remember reshoots occurring before the first films release. I read the article in February or March. And... you certainly could be right. Sometime when you read an article where someone says that P. J. said that Arwen was or wasn't going to be somewhere.... one tends to drop the someone and quote it as if it came from P. J. :);)

I have been guilty of that myself without even realizing I was doing it. But... I don't think that is the case here..... but I could be wrong. :D

TTT is your favorite book? That's a first. Learn something new everyday :). TTT is my least favorite. It doesn't have the breadth and detail of FotR, and at the same time lacks epic thrust that is carried on throughout all of RotK. Not to say I don't want it to be a good movie, though. :)

11-08-2002, 01:12 AM

yeah TTT's my favorite; but ROTK is close. I like TTT a lot because it has Gollum , and I find him really interesting. And is has my all time favorite chapter, "The Choices of Master Samwise". I have huge expectations for Gollum, I hope they portray him well!

Ah man, this is the first I've read about what's coming. I'm ticked. I wasn't one to knock PJ too much about FoTR but leaving the Scouring out is the last straw. And having to wait another year for Shelob! My 11 year old is really gonna be mad. He thinks the scouring is the best part of RoTK and is really looking forward to seeing Shelob next month.

You know the biggest damage PJ might have done to the Trilogy is that I don't know if anyone will ever attempt to top it. We may never have a truly accurate rendition. A pox on you PJ. Why couldn't he have decided to do Harry Potter movies. :(

Talimon

11-15-2002, 12:52 AM

Why couldn't he have decided to do Harry Potter movies.

Because a man by the name of Chirstopher Columbus is doing those (I'm not kidding!). The whole point here is that Tolkiens tale can and most likely will be told many times in the future. Accept this as one storytellers telling and move on.

11-16-2002, 06:06 AM

OK, first off, leaving Shelob in TTT is the best option i see, but i have heard no rumors one way or the other. But how do they plan to end TTT? Frodo and Sam just travel up to that point so i'm thinking it would be good to end it with something big (just like the book did!!).

Although, if Shelob is in RoTK, here is an estimation of my response:
1. 3 days of cursing, grumbling, and complaining
2. Hate mail to lordoftherings.net (official movie site)
3. Depression

(I'm sorry you had to hear that):rolleyes:

Talimon

11-16-2002, 06:30 AM

On a certain level it makes a lot of sense to move her. Think about it like this: we have seen a whole film fleshing out these three charachters relationship, and how Faramir plays into it. Then to have the climax of thier tale involve this spider we've heard nothing about up to this point? The reason it works in the book is that 1) we are told by Tolkien who this spider is, and how she's talked with Gollum before, 2) we don't have to wait a year to find out Frodo's fate, since the third book is likely to be read the next day (if not the next minute! ;)). Assuming I had never read Tolkien before, I can see myself saying, "Wow, talk about a cheap way to end a film." It would almost seem like the film-makers wrote a cliff-hanger ending just to lure fans back. I mean, here we are going on with our tale, and then BAM! a random spider shows up and supposedly kills Frodo. Where is the logic here? What does this resolve? Besides, were you to follow the book verbatum, you'd actually learn Frodo is still alive, which would make Shelob seem even more pointless.

I think PJ is going to end Frodo, Sam, and Gollums tale with Faramirs decision to let them go. If what we are hearing is correct, Faramir will not immediately reject the ring, but innitially decide to take it to his father. However, in Osgiliath, for one reason or another, he'll see something that will change his mind, and thus he'll let them go. A mellow, but potentially emotional climax. But remember, the real climax of PJ's movie is going to be on the other side, in Helm's Deep. To a certain degree it wouldn't make cinematic sense to have these two gigantic climaxes intertwind. I mean, first we have this fat battle, then seconds later this huge spider. It would just feel like a cheap ending, both things happening at the same time.

Finally, there is the chronological aspect. This seems slightly trivial to me, however, but I suppose some could use it. Chronology just doesn't seem to be one of PJ's main priorities, though I've gotten into big debates about this on other forums. It's kind of funny how on this forum I end up being the one defending PJ's film, but on others I end up being the one criticizing it. Just shows you the range of opinions. :)

Yeah, the order should be more or less the same. Though you do have to keep in mind that Howard Shore wrote something like 3 hours of music, and the soundtrack is only 60-70 minutes. So there will obviously be some scenes not mentioned.

The Taming Of Smeagol before The Riders Of Rohan, They've changed the order of everything!

Does anyone have a picture or know a website where I can see a picture of the Ents in The Two Towers movie? I am really excited to see them. I hope PJ didn't mess them up!

Thanks

If you look in the second trailer you can see him(or some other ent) picking Merry(I think) of the ground.
But you only get to see his feet.

OMG! I just saw a good picture of Treebeard today in a book with pictures from TTT movie coming... I don't like him... he looks TOO tree-like. In the book they first decribe him as looking like an old withered man, right? In this he is a tree with a mouth. I am disappointed...

He may have looked like an old whithered man (old, wise-looking eyes, mouth, nose, beard), but he was still very much Tree looking, perhaps re-read the chapter entitled Treebeard. :)

I just always pictured him as, not the green moss covered tree, but the no leaves, dry looking bark tree.

Mithlond - I will re-read it soon. Right now I am still in FotR. I'm re-reading all of them.

Well, considering I was afraid PJ would make Treebeard look like Jar Jar Binks...I'm well pleased :D

www.lordoftherings.net has just released a new section on Fangorn Forest! Includes interviews with John Rhys Davies (voice of Treebeard) and Richard Taylor (WETA) an image gallery and more!

Not really any major spoilers but from the bits that are given away it looks like PJ has made a few changes to the way the Fellowship enter Fangorn and meet up with Treebeard.

Also, according to an Empire magazine interview (Dec special in Aust ed on TTT) there is some major change not in the book that reportedly will be one of the most amazing scenes captured in cinema.

hmmm... Treebeard gets with an entbabe perhaps? Try to visualise two ents going for it, that should make your mind spin! teehee

:p EB

(change: is the jan issue of empire mag not dec. oops)
