[Glenethor]

I've also seen reports that Saruman does go to the Shire as he should. I wouldn't be surprised if there is some deliberate misinformation coming from Peter and Fran. Putting out rumours is certainly one way to keep us all on the hook and salivating. I think that they quite likely shot a number of different ways to play certain scenes, and will only make a final decision when they have to. I have seen enough samples of stuff on the FoTR trailers that didn't make it into the film to realize that we won't know what to expect until next December.<P><I>sigh</I><P>On a side note, has anyone seen the pics of Peter directing the crowd of a cricket match for the sound effects of TTT? He is there, in shorts and bare feet. The guy is a hobbit! All he needs is one of those long pipes (I want one of those) and the illusion would be complete. So, one sound they recorded was 20-30,000 people <I>whispering</I>. I would think that describes the sounds of the Huorns and Ents as they glide up to Isengard and tear it apart, brick by brick and stone by stone!
