Houses of Healing: Yes, yes, I forgot to include that!<P> <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> I want to see the fight between Eowyn and the Witch-King extended to where it resembles the book more!<HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>I don’t think there will be much extended stuff on this part.<P> <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> The relationship Merry had with Theoden in the books - was disappointed we didn't get to see that!<HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>Yep, that too. It’s amazing the stuff that was excluded from the final cut, after so much promotional stuff had been released about it. Online pictures, and even the visual aid and photo guide both talked of stuff that wasn’t in the movie. <P> <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>And I would love to see Aragorn's coronation to resemble more what was in the book!<HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>Yep, that’d be good. <P> <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>Aragorn and Arwen's wedding as well as Faramir and Eowyn's! Theoden's funeral with the Rohirrim singing as they did in the book!<HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>These are two things we probably will not see a whole lot more of, although there should be a little more involved with Aragorn’s coronation! We waited two movies for this, and Aragorn waited a good 60 years for it — and only a few minutes of it? Well, don’t want to be too critical of it, because I loved every minute of it.<P> <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> I happen to be of the opinion that a glimpse of a visible Sauron would have been nice. Maybe a EE inclusion.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>Eh...I disagree, I don’t think any visible representation of Sauron would be an improvement.<P> <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> Aragorn dying<HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>No, I can pretty much certainly say that we won’t see this. It was already pretty much covered in “flash forwards” in The Two Towers, Elrond’s predictions. I think the focus at the end of the movie would want to be more on the victories, the triumphs, and then shifting back to the hobbits’ return home.<P> <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> How much of the stuff we want have they actually filmed?<HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>Correct me if I miss anything, and I’ll tell you what I know. We all know they filmed Saruman’s demise. The Crossroads, we’ve seen pictures released of that, so we know it’s been filmed. The Palantír, this was most likely. The thing is, in the visual companion, it says Sauron showed Aragorn the lifeless image of Arwen when he looked in the Palantír. It said that this shattered the power of the Evenstar, and the pendant Arwen gave him shattered. So did the visual aid just mix it up, the dream that he had and the scene where he looked in the Palantír? The Houses of Healing was filmed, and is going to be in the EE.<P> <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> Ooh, Knight of Gondor, I LOVE your avvie!!!!!!!!!!!<HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>Thank you. I liked the Ring personally too, but it was too big and I was requested to chose another. I looked and looked for a White Tree avatar, and this one works. I hope to find one of the MOVIE version of the emblem, but this one’s good for now. <P> <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> I do believe that the "your hands are cold scene" with Arwen and Elrond will be longer. I have seen pictures of Arwen sitting on the same couch with Elrond in front of her with her hand on his cheek.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>*Rolls eyes* That’s all we need, more Arwen.<P> <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> I have also seen in the preview where she jumps up and hugs him. I also hope the "you gave away your life's grace; I cannot protect you anymore" scene with Elrond will be in there.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>Gee, I forgot about that part. What IS it with them releasing stuff for a preview that won’t be in the film?? I’m STILL wondering where that shot of Éomer riding slowly and lowering his spear from the TTT preview goes. <P> <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> But most of all I want to see Legolas and Gimli sailing into the west.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>I think I can conclusively state that you won’t see that. <P> <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> I do hope, though, that the put in th escene where Aragorn finds the young seed of the White Tree of Gondor<HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>I know! I wanted more White Tree too. It’s, after all, the defining emblem of Gondor! And the Tree itself looked quite shabby in the version. The trunk was at a very decided lean! I doubt they will do the sapling scene, though...probably just a healing of the old one.<P> <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> no more frodo-wimpiness<HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>This is the EXTENDED version, Lady Snickerdoodle. If anything, we’ll see more.<P> <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> Elven warrior Sam (they didn't portray that image too well in the movie and it's something I really loved from the book!)<HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>I thought they did it pretty well! The orcs cowered to see the shadow, then thought it was a wimpy hobbit they could take on — and found out they thought wrong! Like many things, it wasn’t taken verbatim from the books, but still pretty good.<P> <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> Oo! And a blooper reel that would be awesome!<HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>It’ll be fun...but I think that’s probably going to be year after next, from what I hear from one guy on the news talking about it. A trilogy set. You know, how they wait to do that, like they did with that *other* trilogy Star Warped?<P> <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> I would really like to see Aragorn looking into the Palantir.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>By the way, in the movie, why the heck does Aragorn act all weak when he picks up the Palantír?? He picks it up from Pippin, and then rolls on the floor.<P> <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> also want to see the death of Gothmog... the hairy-brain/orc captain.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>Yeah! I think a combined effort of Gimli and Aragorn kill him...if I remember correctly from that 60 Minutes behind the scenes thing.<P> <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> Eomer finding Eowyn after the battle of Pellenor. On the trailer it showed a split second shot of him holding someone w/ blond hair (it had to be her) and he was crying. It was heartbreaking! I definately want to see that one!<HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>A preliminary report on TheOneRing.net indicated this scene would yank our hearts. As if the rest of RotK didn’t!<P> <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> And what about Gan-Buri-Gan!?!<HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>Probably not.<P> <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> Also: did anyone notice (stupid question, really, I'm sure you all did) how in Mordor, Frodo and Sam are wearing orc gear one moment, and then the next time we see them they are in their old clothes again (somehow Frodo even got his suspenders back, and notice Sams lack of pots at Mount Doom)? This leads me to think we may yet see when Frodo says the gear is too much for him, and the part where Sam (poor old Sam) parts with his beloved cooking gear.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>Yep. Kind of like in Fellowship, where *zap* and they have the Elven cloaks. They’ll almost surely show more of this.
