HCIsland has just left Hobbiton.

In the director's and writers' commentary on the EE Fellowship, there is mention that Cate Blanchette will bookend the trilogy, pretty much saying that there will be an epilogue style naration. I firmly believe though that PJ will end with Grey Havens. I can't see having such an emotional conclusion and then defusing that by talking about Legolas and Gimli.<P>You could have a naration talking about Aragorn and Arwen, Legolas and Gimli and then have something like, "but as for the Ringbearer ..." and drift into the Grey Havens chapter.<P>I don't know if we'll get this though. In TTT, we essentially saw the fates of Aragorn and Arwen. Are they going to show it again? I doubt it, and if they're not going to show Arwen's and Aragorn's fates, how can they show the less important fates of Legolas and Gimli (as much as we all like it)?<P>I'm still having trouble wrapping my head around this. It's very important for PJ to leave them crying at the end and he is too good a film-maker to screw that up.<P>H.C.
