I know some of you who are interested already read TORn, same as me, but for those of you who do not, here are a couple of reliable TORn spoilers to whet your appetites. But be forewarned, there’s a big spoiler in here:
[spoiler]The scene in the room at the Tower of Cirith Ungol (“You can’t walk about the Black Lands in naught but your skin, Mr. Frodo”) has been filmed and is in.
The scene where Sam and Frodo must disguise themselves as orcs is in.
Aragorn and Sauron are actually going to square off in the battle before the Black Gate! This sounds pretty gnarly, and I want to see it. I’m sure after Narsil got crunched back in the Battle of the Last Alliance, it would like to take a bite back at Sauron. [/spoiler]
Saruman dies at the hands of Grima Wormtongue, just like in the book, but not at the Shire - at Orthanc, I believe. And credit for the kill of Grima goes to Legolas and his trusty arrows in a characteristic show of his archery skill.
Yoop! Here are some of the first frames from the movie. I guess the computer game had some footage in it, and some kind persons over at TORn posted them:
“Gnarly” is in no way the adjective I’d use to describe that. I’d use something much more unkind. I didn’t mind all the deviations in TTT, but still, I dearly, dearly hope that particular bit is false.
minty, you have to remember that this is Peter Jackson’s “Lord of the Rings,” loosely based on a tale by J.R.R. Tolkien. And if he wants Sauron re-embodied, I’m sure he’ll either find a way to do it, or just gloss right past it without explanation.
