What do you think is the most important thing that PJ should do well in RotK? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I cannot fathom how they plan to fit the entire last 1/4 of the Two Towers while still fitting in the plot of Return of the King into 3 short hours and satisfying die hard fans like myself. However I have no doubt that Peter Jackson will be able to accomplish such a task. <P>For my part, I anticipate a very well-done interpretation of the confrontation between Gandalf and Saruman. In fact, anything less than an epic rendition of this scene would be a disappointment to me, as the Voice of Saruman is one of the best chapters in the Two Towers. I would also like to see an excellent portrayal of the battle outside the Black Gates, and the Grey Havens will be, I'm sure, a tear-jerker. <P>I can't wait for the Special Edition of the Two Towers, or the Special edition of Return of the King, which I am sure will be the longest because of the vast extent of the material that (sadly) must surely be left out to make Rotk a consumer-friendly 3-hour film.
