RotK: Movie sequence of events *SPOILER ALERT*

[HCIsland]

Okay, in case there was any doubt out there as to whether I had a life, today I sat down and tried coming up with chapter titles for the King DVD (man, am I ahead of myself). It gets across though how I think the events will unfold. Obviously the chapter titles are made up, though I did borrow heavily from the chapters in the book. <P> Return of the King Chapters<P>1. Sméagol and Déagol <BR>2. Journey to the Crossroads<BR>3. Minas Morgul<BR>4. The Road to Isengard (no Huorns or promises between Legolas and Gimli. Just a re-establishment of plot and characters)<BR>5. Flotsam and Jetsam (Really this chapter was in Towers, but I suspect it will be borrowed for this reunion and the build-up to confronting Saruman.)<BR>6. The Sword Reforged (Arwen returns to take the reforged sword to Aragorn and confronts an angry Elrond. Flashback scenes of the sword being reforged.)<BR>7. The Stairs of Cirith Ungol<BR>8.
