Two Towers? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Turin Turambar · 05-18-2002, 06:29 PM

I recently downloaded The Two Towers trailer and in it Gandalf is speaking to Aragorn when he says, "There is a union now between the two towers...Orthanc and Barad-Dur" The origin of the name of The Two Towers is very debatable and from what I've seen all discussions end up with Cirith Ungol and Orthanc being the towers. I personally think this is true due to the events in the book.
1. Gandalf, Aragorn, Gimli, Pippin, Merry, and Legolas are throwing down Saruman and helping the Rohirrim while
2. Frodo is trapped in Cirith Ungol and Sam is rescuing him

I'd like to know your thoughts on the matter and how do you feel that Peter Jackson interpreted the name in this way?
