Smeagol, that is the 1 comment that I felt exactly the same about!

Arwen is not meant to come to Gondor until the marriage/coronation, and everything we know continues to confirm that. However, this means that effectively she rides all the way to Dunharrow/Rohan with Elrond just to talk to Aragorn and then go back to Rivendell, or more likely, Lothlorien.

2 things bother me about that i) we saw what appear to be Elladin and Elrohir re-forging Narsil therefore why don't they accompany Elrond to keep it ore in tune with the book? ii) It is strange that in a land that is on the verge of a massive war, Elrond is allowing Arwen to travel with him on a potentially dangerous journey like that iii) the last things Aragorn needs before taking the POTD is to have to think about matters of the heart with Arwen!

i read what that person said over at TORn, and was rather skeptical about Arwen. but good news about Elladan and Elrohir

So Faramir gets hit with two arrows, obviously one of them or perhaps both are poisoned. And his horse does drag him all the way back to MT. Sadly that rules out Imrahil, but I am still very happy.

The Moose
10-24-2003, 10:08 PM
well, i hope that they are fighting at Pelennor and Morannon. i will be disappointed. i don't really want them to have a huge part in thr planning, as the elves are handing ME to Men, and planning the final battles would just be bad. i think that they'll be there, which will be good, and we will know them, but they'll be a bit like arwen was in FOTR. needed characters, but not through the entire story

scifi guy
10-24-2003, 10:11 PM

Mouth of Sauron? I think so because he was supposed to resemble a man.

Well, although it's not the MOS (as we already knew TBO), it is Gorbag as I read someone suggest previously. Certainly is perhaps the most human looking Orc so only reasonable I suppose.

Interesting how he wears old Gondorian armour -

Although I doubt they will appear at Pelennor Fields, I hope the Elves, Dwarves and possibly Ents come to aid Rohan and Gondor at the Black Gates. The Elves could be lead by Elrond, Celeborn or maybe even Elrohir and Elladan. The Dwaves maybe Gloin. And the Ents of course Treebeard. As the Eagles will come, I think it would be good to represent an epic struggle of all good against evil. You could imagine Gandalf saying something like "It will be an epic defence. All of Middle Earth has come" And then, from different sides you see the Elves, Dwarves and Ents. I always wanted to see an Ent fighting a troll!

Perhaps that's why all the Black Gate stuff is being kept secret. I remember PJ was annoyed when the story of the Elves being at Helms Deep was revealed early through the action figures, so it is a possibility.

Ents and Dwarves at the Black Gates, as well as Elves!

Alright maybe Ents might be going a bit too far but I don't see why Elves and Dwarves can't be there. A united stand of all the free peoples. I think it'd be pretty cool to see a load of Dwarves fighting! Looks like others disagree:(

adt100
10-25-2003, 10:10 AM
You've read the books haven't though. Where and why and how would Dwarves come to the Black Gates!?

As for the green Orc listed as Gorbag above, it could be Shagrat either, or even just the 'Snaga' Orc that Sam attacks in the top room of the tower where Frodo lies.

It seems that the Games Workshop and Greed Dragon links posted around here lately differ in their descriptions as to whether the green Orc is Shagrat or Gorbag.

Shagrat was the Orc from CU and Gorbag the Mordor Urak from Minas Morgul wasn't her?

The Return of the King Video game won't be that bad. It won't ruin anything involving Merry, Pippin, or the Rohans because they aren't main playable characters. Just like they didn't show anything with Eomer or Eowyn, and not much with Theoden in the Two Towers game. However, they will ruin Shelob! :( I really wanted to see the reaction on my friend's face when Frodo is "Killed" by Shelob, but Rotk game will ruin that I know for a fact.

Well, that was a 5 minute Photoshop job, so I'm sure the experienced professionals at WETA can manage to transform those production shots into visuals that are expecting them to be.

If we're going to get such spoiler pics I'd actually far prefer them to be pre-SFX and digital grading, so that there is still plenty of awe to be felt and their impact is not lessened by having already seen pictures from these scenes.

I haven't bought either of the previous games, and don't intend to buy ROTK unless it gets really high reviews, which I doubt (film-based tie-ins are never as good as they films they are from). However, from all I've seen and heard, I don't think the game can really 'spoil' much for you. A game is totally different to a film due to it's interactivity. The same characters and environments will be their yes, but we've already seen these.

The action on the other hand and 'plot' will be very much different. It will be as you make it. I don't see how the suprise regarding Shelob can spoilt the story even for non-book readers.

There has been discussion on where does Elrond go after he gives anduril to Aragorn??? Well, what if he does go to lothlorien like it was previously mentioned in one these threads, that got me thinking it is possible that the scene that we was in TTT preview of TFOTR theatrical dvd, where it appears Elrond is in Lothorien and is talking to someone, he's says "If we don't trust the strength of men, then we trust to the victory of Sauron..." Perhaps that scene was always ment to be in ROTK. It seems like it would fit. After elrond gives Aragorn the sword he goes to lothlorien and that's where we see the meeting between Celeborn, Elrond, Galadriel. We've all seen the pics of Elrond with Celeborn and Arwen with Galadriel.

Shagrat
10-25-2003, 01:54 PM
You've read the books haven't though. Where and why and how would Dwarves come to the Black Gates!?

I know the Dwarves of fighting their own battle against Easterlings with King Brand and the men of Dale but since the movie won't show that I think this could work. I mean it didn't explain how the ELves got to Helms Deep (the Lothlorien Elven Council was cut) and I feel that change worked.

I think that green orc is Gorbag because I've seen a new pic of Gorbag and Shagrat together. Shagrat is an Uruk it would seem. I'll try and find the pic.

Seems a logical conclusion Jedi. Ideally of course Elladin and Elrohir would be in the envoy from Rivendell, and while Elrond/Arwen go back to Lothlorien to deal with matters there, the sons continue into battle along with the Rohirrim. :)

The Elves at Helm's Deep situation was perhaps an acceptable situation for a film adaptation to take, after all it helped simplify things a little. An adaptation where Dwarves came into battle though would not really bring any such benefits IMO, and would be an even bigger departure from the books than EAHD.

More confirmation of the scenes from Cirith Ungol. Shagrat (the Cirith Ungol Urak, left) discussing the unconsious Frodo? with Gorbag (Minas Morgul Orc, right) -

http://www.lordoftheringsguide.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=3063

I don't know why but ever since these pictures had been coming out I'd assumed that the Shagrat and the Orcs of CU would be smaller, and those from Minas Morgul would be the larger Uraks. Checking the books again and various pics that's obviously not the case. That could even explain why Gorbag is the only really green Orc we've seen so far, in keeping with the green of Minas Morgul itself!

That pic someone posted of Snaga is the blue one from TTT. The one that said 'Go on, carve him up, just a mouthful!' and then had his head lopped off by Ugluk. Trust me, becuase that figure is in a 3 pack with Grishnakh and another orc.

Great picture of Gorbag and Shagrat. According to someone on a forum who has the book (Dutch), the dialogue goes something like:

Shagrat: Looks like old Shelob had a bit of fun

Gorbag: Yes the little Halfling will wake up in a few hours and then he'd wish he was never born!

And that is not his crown. When I look at it again, its more of a helmet. Not pointy parts. Its quite flat, like Gimli's.

I have a question about how many real horses were used in the Ride of the Rohirrum. Now in the ROTK preview PJ said we mustered together our own army of about 250 horses. And then that video on the Battle of the Pelennor Fields Eomer(Carl Urban) said. A call was set out for all abled body horse riders and about 500 horses charged on this field. So did they use 250 or 500 horse extras cause theres a big difference between the two.

adt100
10-26-2003, 01:16 PM
I've heard 200-250 mentioned a few times, (once by Karl in the TTT ROTK preview). Maybe when he said 500 or so it was just a mistake or a bit of an exaggeration.

There are so many it's hard to just guess at a figure visually I imagine. Not that it really matters when there are 1000's more added digitally.

I think you might be but don't worry about it lol. I do it all the time, I am huge into symbolism. I picked apart the lotr movies. Here are some examples of how deep I look into things.

1. Elves at Helm's Deep: A physical representation that although the elves are indeed leaving Middle-Earth they are not abadoning it.

2. The falling flag from the Golden Hall: Symbolic representation of the fall of the kingdom of Rohan.

Also anyone ever see Donnie Darko, that movie drips with symbolism. During my Senior year in highschool, my entire English class would get into discussions about it all the time lol. ......Sorry this is probably unimportant but I just had to post it. :D

They've really updated the Wiki from the DVD preview in that first pic!

My first feelings though were ... :confused: :(

When we first saw that DVD preview, eventually we (across a number of forums) reasoned that this was just some regular Nazgul land on a wall of MT that Gandalf would quickly 'zap' off. All part of PJ 'uppin the ante', and perhaps a scene where Gandalf is rushing up to see Denethor preparing his pyre.

Having it confrimed as the Wiki though puts a whole different complexion on things. If the Wiki can just land in 1 of the upper circles of MT like that, doesn't it somewhat devalue what is one of the most memorable, cinematic (and 1 of my favourite) scenes in the entire book! That of the confronation at the Great Gates!??

I was in town today and had a look at the magazine it was in. It's not really that great an image though TBO, and I doubt it will be that accurate a representation of the final image we see on screen. Take at look at the Shelob in the game and it's not much like the film version at all!

As for the King of the Dead, it vaguely resembles the Knight at the end of Indiana Jones 3, only with a rich red cloak and glowing gold eyes. Hopefuly it won't look quite so corny in the film though. :)

So do I, but that's why I'm not putting too much faith in gaining realitics spoilers from the actual game. Plot-wise or visually.

Shagrat
10-28-2003, 09:42 AM
I don't think the pics we've seen of in game Shelob is actually Shelob. They're probably other spiders (I know you have to fight smaller spiders in other to make it a proper level)

As for the Witchking/Gandalf confrontation, its not looking too good is it?:confused: :eek:

Necross
10-28-2003, 09:50 AM
If you have seen the commercial for the game there is a scene with the Confrontation with Gandalf and the Witchking in which it starts as a movie then shifts to game grahpics. I don't think you will fight him in the game...but you never know.

adt100
10-28-2003, 10:02 AM
Having thought about this again and gone over the arguments in my head that were raised when we first saw this clip back in the DVD preview of ROTK, I am convinced that this WILL NOT replace the Gandalf/Wiki confrontation at the Black Gates.

Maybe there's an element of wishful thinking in that, and the picture does certainly concern me. I've no idea how the scene will play out, but I'm not going to start running around like a headless chicken again thinking 'oh no PJ's ruined 1 of my favourite scenes in the entire book!'.

Reasons are as follows -

1. The scene as played out in the book is brilliant and very cinematic. Far more so than the picture we see on that wallpaper.
2. PJ has said before that this is the closest film to the books (so no unecessary redundant plot changes)
3. The confrontation is 1 of the most popular and pivotal moment in the entire book for Tolkien fans, and no doubt for PJ as well.
4. We have seen the clips of the game where Grond is battering the gates and Gandalf appears to be standing alone, waiting to greet 'it'.
5. We know Grond breaking the gates down is in the film, and will be a key moment, therefore why weaken the impact of this by simply having the Wiki fly over the walls of MT and land within 1 of the higher circles of the city to confront Gandalf?

Necross
10-28-2003, 10:21 AM
But here is the thing. Why would people be so upset. Oh no he came over the wall instead of a broken door! If that would ruin the movie for you, the bottom line is you are PATHETIC.

Necross
10-28-2003, 10:22 AM
Also doesn't the Witch King tell them to surrender at that confrontation? I know in the books its after Grond, but it would seem to me that it would make more sense for him to tell them to surrender before they go on an all out attack.

Necross
10-28-2003, 10:24 AM
Also another thing, Gandalf is carrying Pippin on his back. Pippin is wearing his normal clothing, not the Gondorian gear. So hence, i think that scene happens before Grond and the main attack again. If this ruins the movie for you, PATHETIC.

adt100
10-28-2003, 10:41 AM
1. Did I say that this would in any way 'ruin' the film for me?

2. Have you actually read the books?

I don't see how anyone who's read the books can not find that a great scene, 1 which they would like to see in the films. I have every faith in PJ, and like I just said think it will be in the film similar to the book, but there's nothing wrong with hoping for what (IMO) is such a great moment to be portrayed on screen with all the grandeur and impact that it can potentially have.

You would have to be a pretty emotionless person, or care little for the story as a whole, if there were not such moments that you really wanted to see on screen like that. From your comments you couldn't really care less if any of the scenes were in the films at all, as long as it's a 'cool' action flick.

In which case, why even bother adapting the LOTR, why not just take elements or themes of the book and make an original work? :rolleyes:

And another thing, why do you have to triple post like that.

10-28-2003, 11:02 AM
The most magical moment for me in the entire LOTR books is The Forbidden Pool reunion between Frodo and Gollum.

I really wanted this scene to be in the film in its entirity, especially Gollum ignoring Frodo's pleas to come with him at first by saying [paraphrased]: "We're not coming with you, you've got new friends now, we stay here and eat nice fissshes". Then, however, Frodo claims that it is, in fact, the Precious that wants Gollum to come with him and then that obviously takes Smeagol's attention. "We must go now?" asks Gollum.

Heck, I even loved the remark from one of Faramir's soldiers about turning Gollum into a hedgehog if he didn't stop biting and hissing at them! ;)

Although The Forbidden Pool remains one of my favourite sequences from the first two films, it wasn't a patch on what it could and should have been, had it been adapted properly from the book. I know PJ didn't really change anything from this part of The Forbidden Pool chapter, but it was cut down and shortened, probably just to make way for some extra battle shots at Helm's Deep. :(

PJ has said that the only reason he is making LOTR is for the monsters. :rolleyes: If he thought like adt100 and I and was as big a fan of the book as he claims, then sequences like the Forbidden Pool and, perhaps, the Wiki/Gandalf confrontation would not get the short shrift in favour of some gruesome Orcs being beheaded.

10-28-2003, 11:28 AM
My personal opinion about the Witch King/Gandalf picture is that it happens only after Gandalf arrived with Pippin in Minas Tirith and they are going to see Denethor. And the fire behind the Witch King is not from the battle but maybe from the dragon he is on.

Maybe its just like "Give me the Hobbit and the ring Wizard", a mirror to the Arwen scene in the river near Rivendell. And so Gandalf refuses and send the Witch King away, though the Witch King says he will be back for revenge. :cool: :D

And well it was a bit unlikely but it would be better than spoiling the confrontation in the gates donīt you think? :)

I don't see how anyone who's read the books can not find that a great scene, 1 which they would like to see in the films. I have every faith in PJ, and like I just said think it will be in the film similar to the book, but there's nothing wrong with hoping for what (IMO) is such a great moment to be portrayed on screen with all the grandeur and impact that it can potentially have.

You would have to be a pretty emotionless person, or care little for the story as a whole, if there were not such moments that you really wanted to see on screen like that. From your comments you couldn't really care less if any of the scenes were in the films at all, as long as it's a 'cool' action flick.

In which case, why even bother adapting the LOTR, why not just take elements or themes of the book and make an original work? :rolleyes:

And another thing, why do you have to triple post like that.

I wasn't referring to you adt100. You clearly state that it wouldn't ruin it for you. I am talking about other people who do say stuff like that ruins the movie for them. Like the people who flipped out because Elves were at Helm's Deep. And yes I have read the books, a couple times. I just finished FOTR again two days ago. Also it is fine to look forward to a scene, but I am just stating that the only difference is they will be on a wall instead of at a gate.

I have a triple post because dumb me forgot I can edit. I also really resent the fact that you think I only like it becuase of the action scenes. I resent that to the point where I really don't like you at the moment. I love every aspect of Lotr more than anything else, and for you to say that is just too infuritating for words! :mad: :mad: :mad:

Also I am really looking forward to the scene in which Eowyn confronts the WitchKing, I believe it will be one of the shining moments of the entire Lord of the Rings trilogy.

I agree with ADT about the confrontation at the gate being an amazing part of the books.. reading that I imagined how great it would look in the film. I started thinking about dust blocking the view outside the gate with Gandalf standing there and hearing hooves then the shape of WiKi on his horse suddenly emerging from the mist. I have all faith in PJ he will execute this very well... anyone else wondering how WiKi will sound?

I am wondernig what he will sound like, and the Mouth of Sauron as well. i hope he sounds like Sauron from the FOTR, when he speaks to Saruman,"Build me an army worthy of Mordor!" or to Frodo in the Prancing Pony. I just think that would be awesome.

I hope his voice sounds more regal, like someone who has much power(pompous, so to speak). But, he has that evil dialect of Mordor

Yes I should, but until someone quotes you in there post don't just assume they are talking about you. And what do you mean short tempered? You called me an emotionless person who doesn't care about the story at all. That is a greivous insult in my book. Also I was exagerrating a bit, its not like I am still sitting here pissed off becuase you said it, at that moment when I was posting I was.

That looks more like the Uruk-Hai marching in TTT. Allthough the Siege Towers in the background could very well mean ROTK. But, maybe it's also a photoshop

Also, about the talk about when that scene in the wallpaper is(With Gandalf/Pippin and the Witch King) could that fire in the background be something the Fell Beast has just caused before swooping down? Because there is no other damage around and if the battle was going on at the time I doubt Gandalf would be riding around putting himself, Pippin and Shadowfax at risk

What Siege Towers? Those are only banners with the Hand of Saruman in it, so obviously that is a shot of the Saruman army marching towards Helm's Deep in The Two Towers. It's not from Return of the King like the official site suggests.

adt100
10-28-2003, 12:22 PM
The Siege Towers would have come direct from Minas Morgul I presume. Those Orcs in that pic will either be going to the Pelennor via MM (from encampments further within Mordor) or to the Black Gates.

Yes, they are banners not towers, but they carry the Red Eye of Sauron. Obviously it will be similar to the scenes in TTT, but defintely not the same. Check the TTT DVD to compare. NL aren't going to blatantly lie and try to pass a TTT shot off for ROTK.

so are you saying we have already seen the new pics that TORn had to remove?

10-28-2003, 01:46 PM
Yes, they're just all those from the (Dutch version) ROTK Photo Guide. It's only when you scroll halfway down the TORN news page that you see the 'removed' message.


What made you think otherwise?

10-28-2003, 01:49 PM
because the pics im talking about were posted at TORn yesterday. and i didnt get a chance to see those before they took them down. so they must've been pics that were already posted in this thread from the source. its good to be a CS! member;)

Siege Towers are huge things pushed by Trolls. You don't think they're going to be marching them all across Mordor do you.
