[The Saucepan Man]

Shelob just has to be done well. She is possibly one of the most eagerly anticipated aspects of the film as far as I am concerned (and I'm arachnophobic too ). As I have said elsewhere, I am glad that she wasn't in TTT, because I see her as providing a tremendous curtain-raiser for RotK. Basing her on a funnel-web or a tarantula sounds good, although I expect her to be quite a bit more gruesome than the real thing.<P> <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> Wow, look at those eyes! <HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>Those ain't eyes. They be fangs! <P>Like Meela, I had heard that Ghan-Buri-Gahn was mentioned in the cast list, so I had expected to see him. It'll be a shame if the Druadan aren't in, but I suppose that they are one of the elements in the story that can be fairly easily dropped. <P>And Denethor in the TTT extended edition? I wonder how they will work him in. Perhaps a flashback for Faramir ...?
