Jonathan, welcome to the Downs!

What a wonderful idea. I'm guessing that the reason that it hasn't been done is that one is messing with copyrighted material, and getting that to load into editing software is never fun (is it even legal?).

I'd be happy with the scene 'as is' (shudders) if only Peter Jackson would put a slim smile on the prone Gandalf's face after the Witch-King finishes his brag. That little addition, to me, would change the scene completely by showing that, even when down, Gandalf did not despair and knew a 'dead man talking' when he saw one.
