Really! Arwen at Helms Deep? Well, I will certainly have to watch that scene in slow motion.<P>As for some people's questions. In the third and fourth cds of the TTT Extended Version DVD Peter Jackson and some of the ohter producers, plus Liv Tyler say that at the very beginning of the filming they were going to have Arwen and Elrond go to Lothlorien. Then, Arwen was supposed to travel on to Helms Deep to be with Aragorn. This was done because they needed to have a romance in the movie, so they thought that the two lovers would have to be together. Yet, they discovered in the Appendices of the Return of the King the section on the Romance of Aragorn and Arwen (not sure what this chapter is truly called, though). So, they had found a way to make the far-away love affair between them work. That is when they stopped the training of Liv Tyler, for she had been training for quite a while in swordfighting, and they stopped recording and cut out and replaced the battle scenes of Helms Deep in which Arwen was fighting alongside of Aragorn.<P>Well, I hope that my insight into this matter helps to shine some light on it. What has everyone else heard about this particular subject? Namarie, fellow dead ones.
