duder Posted August 19, 2002 Share Posted August 19, 2002 Isn't it about time we started hyping the next of the LotR trilogy???!!! I've got myself excited by watching FotR and now I'm trying to think ahead and of whats in store for TTT. The last time I read LotR was several years ago so my memory is pretty sketchy. So correct if I've got these predictions wrong, and add any details I've missed out. 1.Battle of Helm's Deep. Apparently at the latest cut, this battle lasts for *50* whole minutes!!! 2.March of the Ents. 3.Sarumans downfall, battle of Isengaurd. 4.Riders of Rohan and Wormtongue. 5.Shelob's lair. I absolutely cannot wait for this part. I remember being scared witless when I read it in the book. 6.Gollum as a major character. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wraith 8 Posted August 19, 2002 Share Posted August 19, 2002 well i havent heard anything about 2 towers.... only that people i met and told about the film said that the title was wrong.... is there a spoiler movie already? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boba Rhett Posted August 19, 2002 Share Posted August 19, 2002 Shelobs lair has been moved to the third movie. And from what i've heard, We wont see much of the storming Ents. Oh well. It'll still be awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Young David Posted August 19, 2002 Share Posted August 19, 2002 Originally posted by Boba Rhett Shelobs lair has been moved to the third movie. Yeah, I heard that ... Bummer, would be a great end for the movie (And a great cliffhanger) And from what i've heard, We wont see much of the storming Ents. That's new for me ... And I really hope you're wrong. I want to witness the power of the Ents Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sherack Nhar Posted August 19, 2002 Share Posted August 19, 2002 No it's true. They ditched the battle of Isengard to lengthen Helm's Deep, and I think it sucks. We'Re going to see the march of the Ents and it'll cut to the result of the battle. The overly long battle of Helm's Deep is totally stupid and useless. 15-20 minutes would have been well enough. EDIT: Forgot to cite my source... IGN FilmForce, it should still be in the latest headlines in their LOTR section. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XERXES Posted August 19, 2002 Share Posted August 19, 2002 i forgit his name cause its been 3 or 4 years since ive read the trilogy, but i believe they are going to include the brown wizard that was in FoTR. But im not completely sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silenthunter Posted August 19, 2002 Share Posted August 19, 2002 Ah yes, that would be Radagast The Bown, if I'm not mistaken. I just reread the battle of Helms deep last night. And also the chapter after that, were they go to Isengaurd and find it in ruin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wraith 5 Posted August 19, 2002 Share Posted August 19, 2002 first i just want to say i am not comlpaning, flaming or otherwise instulting anyone with this post, this question comes out of total ceriosity.... But what would it take to keep you from being upset with any part of the movie? Or is it like that saying that no matter what they do there will be someone that hates it? Remeber this is not a flame, just per ceriosity... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XERXES Posted August 19, 2002 Share Posted August 19, 2002 i wont be upset with it, i am just curious to see how much the director (i forgot his name) will improve over FoTR. And also his interpretation of TTT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sherack Nhar Posted August 19, 2002 Share Posted August 19, 2002 Well, Wraith 5, I didn't have any complaints with FOTR as far as the script was concerned, only some of the actors' performances were lacking (namely Galadriel and Aragorn). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admiral Odin Posted August 20, 2002 Share Posted August 20, 2002 I saw a preview of Two Towers, it looks great. According to one of the crew on Lotr, FoTR is nothing compared to Two Towers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jatt13 Posted August 20, 2002 Share Posted August 20, 2002 the director is Peter Jackson. i really wanted to see the shelob fight! oh well, i'll see it eventually. also, someone will not like anything. the thing is though, we're not so much complaining as pointing out what's left out from the books or what jackson could improve on. and it does look good, no matter what is left out.

Wraith 5 Posted August 20, 2002 Share Posted August 20, 2002 OK so you would want the script (it is hard to get actors perfect they are only human ) that followed more like fotr ok the answered my question cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Surfnshannon Posted August 20, 2002 Share Posted August 20, 2002 Does gandolph come back? or is he dead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duder Posted August 20, 2002 Author Share Posted August 20, 2002 Gandalf comes back in TTT, but rather than being Gandalf the Grey, he is now Gandalf the White, and has become the strongest of the order, even more powerful than Saruman. I will not explain what happens to him as it should be a cool part of the film...unless you really want to know. Can anyone explain how Radagast the Brown comes in to it? I can't remember him in the book at all!!! One for Rogue Nine and Boba Rhett - Was Tom Bombadill an Istari too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Havoc Stryphe Posted August 20, 2002 Share Posted August 20, 2002 Originally posted by STTCT Does gandolph come back? or is he dead Yes he comes back, so no, he's not dead. Of course, I'm talking about Gandalf the Wizard, not this gentlemen, Gandolph you keep referring to? Yeah, if you watch the Two Towers trailer you'll actually see Gandalf in the trailer. Of course with one major difference...He's now Gandalf the White now instead of Gandalf the Grey! EDIT: DOH!!!!! Duder beat me to it... you fiend!

Surfnshannon Posted August 20, 2002 Share Posted August 20, 2002 spelling spelling spelling....I watched the movie...I didn't read the book so I was guessing as to how to spell "Gandalf" correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know, I just couldn't resist! Besides I knew that Rogue Nine or Young David would see it any minute and go nuts so I thought I'd point it out to you a little less aggressively!

Jatt13 Posted August 21, 2002 Share Posted August 21, 2002 yeah, the books are great! i'm re-reading them all just for the 2 towers movie. anywho(i can't belive i just said that), i have the same question as duder. where does radgast come in? i remember him from the 1st book, but he wasn't in the second. i'm looking in the index of my book(it's one of those that have all 3 in 1 volume) and it only shows him in the 1st book, when gandalf is telling the council a/b the ring and everything he's been doing. radgast tells gandalf a/b the nazgul and how they're asking about the shire. sorry for going off a/b it. --EDIT-- WooHoo!! 80 whole posts!!

Surfnshannon Posted August 21, 2002 Share Posted August 21, 2002 Would I be able to just pick up the second book and start reading or would I be lost without reading the first one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duder Posted August 21, 2002 Author Share Posted August 21, 2002 I think you would be okay. You might find a few inconsistencies, such as characters that have been removed for the film, or references to scenes that didn't exist in the film. But you could always post your questions on the boards for the friendly resident experts to answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sherack Nhar Posted August 21, 2002 Share Posted August 21, 2002 It's possible to start with TTT, but since the movie is still months away I'd recommend starting with FOTR anyway. Surely you'll have enough free time to finish both books by the time the movie comes out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admiral Odin Posted August 22, 2002 Share Posted August 22, 2002 Originally posted by duder can anyone explain how Radagast the Brown comes in to it? I can't remember him in the book at all!!! Radagast appeared in FoTR. He was mabye mentioned once in the entire novel. He told Gandolf that Saruman wanted to speak with him. (the movie removed this part, and just had Gandolf go to Saruman). Radagast, if memory serves likes animals and spends most of his time in the wilderness. If you want to look for him in the books. It is in FoRT, book 1, the Chapter he is found is around the Grand Council. When Frodo asks Gandolf why he wasn't at the prancing pony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duder Posted August 22, 2002 Author Share Posted August 22, 2002 Ahhh I remeber now. Radagast helps Gandalf escape Isengaurd without knowing that Gandalf and Saruman have become enemies. If memory serves me, Radagast had been manipulated by Saruman and was helping his cause. Thanks for the info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
