Well, I think the Arwen thing is just that her and Aragorn have that little thing..."Oh, you have to leave Middle Earth"..."No, I don't want to leave you." Bla Bla Bla.<P>But the rest of it, hmmm....sounds interesting. I have no clue what that will mean. I mean, he can't change the movie THAT much can he? I would think he would stay as closest to the book as humanly possible. But ya know, it's Holleywood. They are always changing great classics just to meet the likings of those people who don't read the books.<P>It's like in the movie, The Count of Monte Cristo. The director made a quote in an interview that said somewhat..."My job wasn't to make a book. It was to make a movie." That is just how things are done in the movie business I guess.
