Arwen's expanded role..

[The Barrow-Wight]

<BR>In an effort to add the obligatory romantic story and to give Liv Tyler the screen-time her present popularity demands, Peter Jackson, director of the upcoming Lord of the Rings movies, has expanded the role of Arwen considerably.<br> <br> According to the many web-sites dedicated to the films, Arwen has been described as a 'warrior elf princess', and she is present at the Fords of Bruinen and probably at Helm's Deep as well.<br> <br> These changes (and others) have caused an uproar among some avid Tolkien fans throughout the world. There is even a petition with over 12,000 signatures being prepared to make it known how troubling these alterations are to a lot of people. (See the petition at: <a href="http://www.tolkienonline.com">Tolkien Online - The One Ring</a>).<br> <br> What do you think??<br> <p><i><a href="mailto:barrow-wight@kitgraphics.com">The Barrow-Wight</a></b></i><br> <a href="http://www.barrowdowns.com">The Barrow-Downs</a></p>
