HCIsland has just left Hobbiton.

It seems every indication is that it will end like the book. PJ says that Grey Havens is his favourite chapter.<P>My advice, bring tissue.<P>In the director's commentary, Fran Walsh talks of how they are going to use Cate Blanchette to book mark the series, so I think we will be hearing her doing more voice overs. I'm looking forward to seeing exactly how they are going to do this as she did such a great job with the prologue.<P>I think it will form an effective device to carry us from the wedding/coronation to the movie's conclusion. I can see a sort of epilogue where Cate is talking us through the fates of each of the Fellowship. Legolas and Gimli, Merry and Pippin, Aragorn and Arwen and then back tracking to Frodo and his life without the Ring in the Shire. Then, I hope, the whole Grey Havens scene will be allowed to just play out. I can see it being very powerful.<P>H.C.
