<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> This is worring me, badly, I want to see so many parts in there, but there is so little time! Does anyone agree? <HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>Nope.<P>Count the pages that still need to be covered and the ones that already have. He's pretty much right on track.<P>Return of the King is a far more simple movie to adapt than the previous two. In Fellowship so much had to be established, characters, plot, locations. It was dizzying. <P>Two Towers had to be twisted and tweaked to give it a sense of being it's own film with a beginning, middle and end. The whole country of Rohan had to be introduced with it's own set of characters and inter-relationships not to mention Fangorn and Ithilien.<P>Return of the King has only one major character to introduce, Denethor and his relationship to the other characters is a simple one. He's Boromir's and Faramir's dad and leader of Gondor. All the locations, Minas Tirith, Osgiliath, Mordor, The Black Gates and Grey Havens have already been talked about if not actually shown. The story has it's own natural arc, with a beginning, middle and end.<P>Personally, I'm not worried.<P>As for Pippin, I'm I the only one that finds him funny in the book too?<P>H.C.<p>[ May 25, 2003: Message edited by: HCIsland ]
