Ringer Spy Dernhelm sends in her report on some rumors regarding the script. Check it out in The Spy Reports.
This is a rather cool sotry sent in by Ringer Spy Dave. Check it out:
I thought you might be interested in this tidbit. It was in Friday’s Globe and Mail by Jan Melnyk.
Here is the important part: “My co-worker told a story at work about her aunt. Here’s how it goes:
Many years ago, her aunt was walking through an English public garden when a man approached her. “Do you have the time? he asked. She looked at her watch but he shook his head. “No, do you have the time to sit and talk?” he asked politely. They sat on a bench among the flowers while he talked about his life and asked about hers. She was very young, and he was very old.
She listened as he related the events of his youth and the wars he had lived through. He told her of his hopes for the human race. One thing he didn’t tell her about was his accomplishments. He had penned The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings trilogy. The man was J.R.R. Tolkien.
What a great listen. I reeled in awe as my friend finished her delightful story.”
The rest of the article goes on about storytelling. What a lucky woman her friend’s aunt was. Imagine being able to have that kind of discussion with the Master. Wow. That would have been a life experience for me. Anyways, I thought you might be interested.
Xoanon here,
Having read what Dernhelm reports, I must say that it’s very akin to the scripts that I’ve read. The decapitation though, that’s new to me. So this will be regarded as a serious RUMOR and nothing more.
From: Dernhelm
I’ve heard some new rumors about the script from an insider.
With Eomer being out, Eowyn becomes queen of Mark, she still marries Faramir though. And it seems to be some change in Eowyns personality, she’ll be much tougher, maybe as some sort of mix between Eomer and Eowyn.
Also, the scoring of the shire will be a bit different, as it will not include Grima Wormstounge. He will be blamed by Eowyn for her last living relative’s(Theoden) death. And she will find him after Saruman left him, and she will decapitate Wormstounge, Theoden’s evil advisor.
