Ring Frodo as Gollum?

In The Two Towers EE, there was a part in the appendices that said they had shot a scene that showed what would happen to Frodo if he had the Ring to long. Because of the movie length, they cut it out.
While looking through pics from the RotK EE, I stumbled upon this pic. Do you think they slid it into RotK EE somewhere? What are your thoughts?

There were a couple more, but here is one of them.

I personally hope that it's not in there, I'd have nightmares.

However, aside from my wants, I don't think it would be in it. I mean, where would they put it? It's supposed to happen when Frodo's talking with Faramir.

oh, yeah, I've seen that. CoE is a great site. yes, that was a shameless plug.

Anywhee, I hope it's not in the RotK EE. Or at least, if it is there, I hope it's not as, um, freakish.

I think it's a cool looking scene, but there's nowhere to put it in RotK, so don't look for it.

I wonder if it's only me but the link doesn't seem to be working. Anyway, I think I've seen that kind of pic before that you're talking about and I have to say that I wouldn't probably like a scene involving it. I like to think that the impact of the ring was something that had an effect on its bearer from inside, like mentally. Gollum had had "family troubles" after finding the ring and he was banished. He crawled into the caves of Misty Mountains and there his body adjusted itself to the dark and barren environment. The ring consumed his mind rather than his body. His appearance was a consequence of the corruption of his mind.

Now, if we play with this theory, if Frodo had kept the ring, would his appearance have decayed or only his mind? Like, would Frodo have changed his diet, become afraid of the sun, wandered to the mountains, or what? Okay, Maybe I strayed a bit off topic...so basicly: I wouldn't like it. And besides, I agree with The Only Real Estel about that there's no suitable place for it in RotK.

Ring All very good points

Yes, I thought about that. Meaning, would Frodo`s appearance change? and where would they put the scene? But it was just a question that I`ve been wondering about, and decided I`d ask the people of the BDs.
