Oh, I'm very interested in how PJ's going to pull this off.<P>I've been thinking about starting a thread along these lines...<P>It makes sense actually. In the Two Towers there are two climaxes:<BR>1 - Helm's Deep (and it's after-effect, the breaking of the staff of Saruman)<BR>2 - Shelob's lair.<P>Ah... PJ's solved a major cinematic problem, which is the Two Towers is really two books, not one. <P>He's chosen to focus the story on one of the 'Two Towers', Orthanc, and the defeat of Saruman.<P>The wild action-adventure in Rohan will be balanced by cutaways to disturbing/thoughtful scenes in Emyn Muil and Ithilien.<P>Very good. That will give us time to get to know Frodo, Sam and Gollum very, very well. And build up the power of the ring so it's not lost in the flood of events. Very important. Otherwise what happens at Orodruin will make no sense.
