Um, the very end of the credits? Or is it a scene of the pit at Kazad Dum, right before Gandalf and the balrog fall in? ---

I think it’s the part where I closed my eyes. ---

Sonofabitch @&%%@! Luckily I’ve learned to save my posts in Word for just such glitches. Here’s my original post: I check over at [TheOneRing.net](http://TheOneRing.net) now and then to see if there are any new pictures from the upcoming The Two Towers movie. Someone has posted some grabs from what I suppose is the new FOTR DVD, which will include some cut footage from the first movie and a trailer to TTT. There are some gorgeous images, most of which I can match up with the corresponding scenes in the book. But for the life of me, I can’t guess what [this](http://www.theonering.net/movie/scrapbook/large/4321) scene might be. Some of our most highly-decorated geeks will identify it, I’m sure. Dr. QtM? Fingolfin? (Hey, what happened to Fingolfin?) ---

If it truly is from FOTR (based on the headline on the page, it could be from TTT) I’d guess that it’s a shot of the elves walking through The Shire just before the hobbits meet them. I think you can see the back of two hobbits in the lower left-hand corner hiding/looking at the elves. ---

Sauron, that’s exactly what it is. The elves are on their way to The Grey Havens - these are shots from the extended DVD, which is also previewed on the August 6 DVD release. TORN just didn’t separate their images by category. ---

I think **Sauron** is probably right. This may be the hobbits from the front, in that same scene. (The elves would be on their way to the Grey Havens, presumably.) [![](http://www.bagendinn.com/images/ringsgallerywood.jpg) ](http://www.bagendinn.com/images/ringsgallerywood.jpg) ---

Thanks, **Sauron** , I’m sure you’re right. What a shame PJ had to cut it to trim down the movie – it looks fabulous. [Spoiler in upcoming links] I’ve had a chance to look at more of the images. [Here’s](http://www.theonering.net/movie/scrapbook/large/4317) one I find a little controversial. Since Frodo’s wearing the elven broach, it must be from TTT. Could this be Faramir’s blade? Here’s the [page](http://www.theonering.net/movie/scrapbook/source/Ringer_Spy_Lutz) containing all the images, BTW. They each take awhile to load, at least on my computer, so I haven’t had time to view every single one yet.
