PJ talks ROTK

[Gorwingel]

The Chicago Sun times talked to PJ about the ROTK here is the link<A HREF="http://www.suntimes.com/output/pearlman/cst-ftr-cindy25.html" TARGET=_blank>Chicago Sun Times</A><P>He says, as many of you know, it is his favorite of the three movies, and additionally he is letting it go as long as it needs to be, it may be almost 3 1/2 hours long <BR>They also talk about some other things from the set

[Arwen Imladris]

Thanks Gorwingel! Oh, by the way, welcome to the downs.

[Marileangorifurnimaluim]

Yeah, better start looking forward to the next one. Because The Two Towers...

[Morquesse]

Three and a half (<B>3</B>1/2) hours!? Awesome! *Dances around* But how will they get RotK in the theater? That would be too long to put in the theaters, wouldn't it? *scratches head* <BR>Anyway, thanks Gorwingel! <BR>~M<p>[ December 26, 2002: Message edited by: Morquesse ]

3 and 1/2 is not a whole lot different from 3 and 1/4. And after the major media reviews he got this time he probably feels he can get away with it.<P>But to tell the story rightly he will need every minute he can get since he has to add Shelob and a confrontation w/ Saruman to the RotK. And I am sure the whole Battle of Pellenor Feilds will take a 1/2 - 1 hour alone.<P>Just imagine the extended version may reach 4 hrs.

[hipsuperstar]

the return must be long, considering the two towers early ending, no shelob, no frodo being captured... which means the return of the king is likely to be a fairly action packed flick...

[Tigerlily Gamgee]

It looks like I will have to have another full day of barely anything to drink before that film (as I have done with the last two). Bring it on! I will sit there as long as they want me too!

[Beruthiel]

ooh<BR>3 and a half hours.... good good<BR>it has to be with shelob and all that<BR>I just can't wait!

[the mortal elf]

*joins in the dancing* Finally, it's going to be as long as it's worth. Did anybody else look at what Liv said? I'm just a tad disappointed, she could've been more positive. And it's hard to picture an elf saying the F word...

[lindil]

Out of all of the movies I hope that it would most live up to it's potential.<P>If so it will be much easier to look back forgivingly on TTT and enjoy it's ludicrous departures from the story. Hopefully PJ got all of the 'my vision' c#%p out of his head for the third one.<P>Everyting moves so fast and interconnectedly I really don't think he will have much of a chance to bothch it. Uless he has Sam dive in with the Ring.Actually he could continue to sabatoge Faramir [unlikely] do something 'creative' Denethor - actually that is my biggest fear.<P>Botches the couring of the Shire, he may omit it altogether, which while lamentable would be understandable seeing as how little of a shire he had in FotR to scour!<P>So we may well go straight to the havens from Minas Tirith. Perhaps via Rivendell.<P>It would be great if we get to hear gandalf say as they pass Bree [perhaps the Hobbits can go to Bree] and G. say well I am off to see Bombadil! Even if we never see him a oneline mention would be redeeming, and perhaps the hobbits could even jest, " be careful going through the Barrow-Downs Gandalf".<P>Then in one 10 second clip the 2 major omissions [ well not counting Gildor] from the FotR can at least be mentioned. <P>Anyway I am rambling and Estelyn will get me!<p>[ December 27, 2002: Message edited by: lindil ]

More spoilers! I hope this works click <BR><A HREF="http://www.theonering.net/perl/newsview/8/1044081420" TARGET=_blank>here.</A><p>[ February 01, 2003: Message edited by: Arwen Imladris ]

[Inderjit Sanghera]

The article had expired, since it is over a week old. Anyone know where else I can find it?

[Arwen Imladris]

Sorry, it works for me. Do you want me to email or PM you the spoilers? I could just post them, but I don't want to ruin it for people.

[Gorwingel]

I think theOneRing.net may have had some of the details of the article in their archives, but I don't know exactly where they would be.

[Diamond18]

I think Inderjit meant the Chicago Sun Times article in the first post. The spoilers work.

[Angry Hill Troll]

As Gandalf and the hobbits are approaching Rivendell on their return journey in ROTK...they are met on the road by a tall blond elf.<P>"Hail and well met, travelers! Welcome back to Rivendell. I am Glorfindel. Lord Elrond sends his greetings."<P>Gandalf and the hobbits have slightly quizzical looks. Finally Sam, unable to contain himself any longer, says:<BR>"Begging your pardon sir, but I don't remember you from the last time we were here." <p>[ February 01, 2003: Message edited by: Angry Hill Troll ]

[Aratlithiel]

LOL - Good one, Troll! Glorfindel then goes on to explain how Arwen kicked the crap out of him and stole his horse so she could have a bigger part in the movie. <p>[ February 02, 2003: Message edited by: Aratlithiel ]

[Angry Hill Troll]

Aratlithiel,<P>Actually there's a very funny <A HREF="http://www.thefellowship.nl/cartoon.php?id=6&section_id=0" TARGET=_blank>cartoon</A> I came across a while back on that very topic--I'm putting the link in case you or any other visitors haven't seen it.

[dunadan_aragorn]

hooray! we must ahve a feast to celebrate! (joins in the dancing) lalalalalalalalalalalalalala!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Aratlithiel]

That was great, Troll - thanks for the link. Those must be Tom Bombadil's boots sticking out of the next can over. Loved it! <P>Sorry, I didn't notice that I gave my LOL above to Diamond instead of you. Taking it away from Diamond (sorry, dear) and giving it to Troll.<p>[ February 02, 2003: Message edited by: Aratlithiel ]

[Diamond18]

No problem, I'm just so witty and funny that everyone expects clever posts to come from me. <P>(Imagine heavy irony in tone, I'm not being vain, just teasing. )<P>Though I do proudly hold the title as the one who came up with the Morphin' Glorfin' doll idea (changes from Glorfindel to Arwen like those transformer toys...buy today!)<P>Oh, right, the topic at hand. Wouldn't it be wise in the future to copy and paste articles into the post instead of links? Because so often these articles disappear after a while due to sites have different archiving policies. So then we have these tantalizing threads with links to nowhere lying about torturing people.<p>[ February 02, 2003: Message edited by: Diamond18 ]
