I've seen pictures of Aragorn picking up Pippin's broach so that's still there. (At least I think that's what those shots were.) I think what will happen is that they will just show the orcs trundling across the countryside, the Three Hunters following them, and then skip to the big gory battle between the Riders and the Uruks. It saves time and you still get to have lots of blood and killing.<P>I think that the movie will probably start with a brief visit to Frodo and Sam, but I think they will cut to Aragorn & co. for a while before they get to the part where Frodo and Sam meet Gollum. I think that PJ will want to make the meeting with Gollum a big important part of the movie (he'd better) and not want to rush it by having loose ends.<P>So, brief cut to Frodo and Sam, followed by Aragorn, Gimli, and Legolas chasing orcs and then getting to the eves of Fangorn. Then I think there will be the meeting with Gollum.
