In Letters, Tolkien refers to the fact that The Two Towers was as close to a name as he could get for Books Three and Four, citing that he liked it because it was ambigious - it could refer to any two towers in the story. In the same way, the film's title could refer to any two towers the world over; there is no reason why it should single out the tragedy of 9/11
