<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> BAD MOVE!!!!!!! I do not like this idea at all. Cause eather Sauron gets his body back or Aragorn will be dueling a giant eyeball.<P>However, I don't think this rumor is true.<P> <HR></BLOCKQUOTE><BR>Oh, I think it's very true. Saruman gets killed early in the film. He has basically been the vilian for the first two films. The film <B>cannot</B> have a vilian that is nothing more than a flaming eye ball, likely meaning that Sauron will take physical form early in the movie.<P>I think having Aragorn face Sauron is a great idea (yes I know full well nothing like this happened in the book). The main reason is that it adds another source of tension for the climax of the film.<P>Think about how this will work.<P>Frodo and Sam are approaching the Cracks of Doom. The audience knows full well that one way or another, that Ring will find it's way into the fire, though they aren't so sure how Gollum will fit into all this (though of course book readers know).<P>Back at the Black Gates, Sauron emerges and and Aragorn is stepping up to fight him. The book audience thrown for a loop (and PJ has big grin on his face). Aragorn can't beat Sauron? Sauron can't kill Aragorn? What's up? The reason Aragorn is doing this of course, is that he is sacrificing himself to distract Sauron and given the Ring Bearer more time who, as far as Aragorn knows, may be dead let alone anywhere near Mount Doom. By this point in the film he would be recognized by all as the mightest leader of men. The last in the line of Isildur. Likely he will have accepted Arwen's pledge to him. He has everything anyone could possible dream of, and then some, but he is first in line to step into the fire. This theme of sacrifice to promote an almost impossible hope has been prevalent.<P>Cut back to Mount Doom. Confrontation with between Sam and Gollum on the slopes. Frodo goes ahead.<P>Cut back to Aragorn getting royally trounced. It's clear that any moment he will be killed.<P>Cut back to Sam joining Frodo at the Cracks of Doom. Frodo: "I'm sorry Sam. I can't do it." He puts the Ring on. Audience is now on the edge of their seats. PJ has them now. Their enthralled and no longer trying to guess how this will play out. Their just watching the movie.<P>Enter Gollum. As in the book he rushes past Sam and wrestles with the invisible Frodo.<P>Cut to Sauron about to deliver the death blow to Aragorn.<P>Cut to Gollum chomping down on Frodo's finger and falling into the fire.<P>Sauron does his disappearing act.<P>Obviously I'm just guessing at how this will play out, but I think Aragorn fighting Sauron is an idea that folks better get used to if they want to watch this film next fall.<P>H.C.
