What? You mean, i won't have to suffer through the next two movies w/o my favorite character after all? Huzz-ZAH, and there will be much rejoicing.<P>This is indeed great news, especially as it comes after having given a speech last night attempting to prove that Boromir qualifies as a Tragic Hero (requiring me to see the movie AGAIN before giving speech, to be sure i had all the facts correctly) i am certainly putting some money on Pippin's character development as a result of this -- i expect a "passing of the torch" as it were when Pip takes service w/ Denethor.<P>Also it's gratifying to know i'm not the only one thinking that Bean playing both brothers would have been interesting to see. (Oh well, it would have made flashbacks difficult anyway. Bring on those flashbacks!)<P>Saxony Tarn<BR>(the few, the proud, Boromir's fans...)
