MattForce found a spoiler-ish picture that might be in the TTT Extended edition, and might explain some puzzles about Osgiliath. [It’s been noted before that in the film, Frodo and Sam seem to turn up in Osgiliath on the wrong side of the River.] [More]
Month: May 2003
MattForce’s find:
“I was browsing the net, and I came across a very interesting picture of Frodo and Sam underneath some sewers alone. Then it hit me. This is how they get to the East side of the Anduin during the battle of Osgiliath. I think they add this in cuz this was never in the movie, and I have never seen this pic before.”
We’ve heard this rumour before , and it’s no surprise that TORN community member Quintessential Websites posted an image of it, as it often does. It’s a fantastic source of film images if you haven’t already seen it. This image originally came from the Two Towers Photo Guide published by Houghton Mifflin. [Quintessential Website]
The NZ Herald added details to RandomHobbit’s report on when the LOTR props exhibition would show up in various parts of the world [More] and Merry talks about the things he particularly enjoyed about the exhibition. [More]
Merry in Oz writes, “Greetings! Not that it is really necessary, but I totallly urge all Ringers to get to the Exhibition when it comes to your town over the next few years. We saw it in Wellington and WOW–it is fantastic!! I am sure it will be even better as the ROTK finishes up and more props can be added to the displays. My favourite item was Boromir in his Elven boat. I just stood next to him, waitng for him to wake up–it was that real. The Black Rider was terrifying, the Room of Fire (featuring The One Ring) unsettling, the video clip of Gollum’s debate mesmerising–it went on and on and on. Even the weave of Frodo’s bracers (small and normal scale) was covered–incredible!! I can’t wait until it comes to Sydney–but I suppose I have to for a couple of years!!! Oh, and take your money to the gift shop!! Cheers!”
