[The Saucepan Man]

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> What are your thoughts on the Woses? <HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>My intial view was that the Woses would be cut, since they are not a vital part of the story. A film audience would not really question why Sauron's forces put no guard on the road, or the Riders of Rohan could simply hack their way through any forces there.<P>But Mr buri-ghan does appear to be on the cast list. This doesn't mean that the Woses will be in the cinema version - they may be saved for the extended version. But, I hope that they are. HC, I share your concerns about how they will be depicted. Let's just hope that they are not denied their nobility.<P>As for the Paths of the Dead, I agree with Darkside. This kind of thing is Jackson's forte. And the link that Morquesse posted suggests that it will be in. I suspect that they may cut the Corsairs of Umbar and simply have the undead army turning up at Pelennor Fields.
