I just picked up a Starlog related magazine called Fantasy Worlds.
There is also a five page interview with producer Barrie Osborne, a four page interview with John Rhys-Davies and a two page interview with Liv Tyler.
Here’s a little spoiler regarding a possible Boromir flashback from Barrie Osborne:
“We toyed with doing a scene where you actually get to see Faramir, Boromir, and Denethor in a flashback, in which Faramir is thinking back to how he got into the situation he’s now in. So there’s a scene with Faramir, his brother and his father, and it’s still in and out of the film. We’re not sure if it’s going to be in there or not.” (Interview with Barrie Osborne, “Making the Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers,” page 41)
The people at Starlog said to keep an eye out for the next few Starlog magazines as they have interviewed some of the cast members.
This issue features articles on Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings. There are one page interviews with Karl Urban, Miranda Otto, Brad Dourif, and Bernard Hill. Enjoy!
Update:
I was reading through these interviews and I spotted this comment by Brad Dourif:
“There’s a scene between Wormtongue and Eowyn that we did ,[in which Wormtongue makes his romantic designs clear to her], and that’s not in the book.”

As we enter November, the last full month before the release of The Two Towers, our chapter by chapter discussions on the middle installment of Tolkien’s trilogy are coming to a close. This weekend, the Hall of Fire crew are going to discuss a chapter which leads to the climactic encounter with Shelob which ends The Two Towers:
Book IV, Chapter VII: Journey to the Cross-Roads
Departing the company of Faramir and receiving their final meal in relative comfort before setting foot into the land of Mordor, Sam and Frodo put their faith in Gollum who desires to bring them through Cirith Ungol and into the heart of the evil that lurks there. Discovering an ill omen on the way in the form of a defaced statue from the glory days of Gondor, there is no doubt that the happy days spent by the Hobbits in Hobbiton are long-forgotten.
Join us this weekend for one or even both of our scheduled chats! Remember, the Hall of Fire is not only for Tolkien scholars but for novices too, and it’s one of the few chances available to talk Tolkien with your fellow fans.
