Thanks to JD in Sweden we have a litte more to savor from FotR:
Ok, here are the translation of two of the movies none subtiteld Sindarin in the movie. Found them in “the Cedeco Daliy 2002 Calendar”
Elrond: Frodo, lasto beth nin, tolo dan na ngalad. (Translation: Frodo, hear my voice, come back to the light.)
Gandalf: Losto Caradharas, sedho, hodo, nuitho i ruith! (Translation: Sleep Caradhras, be still, lie still, hold your wrath!)
The calendar is full of qutes from the movie, and the most interesting that I found was these: “The skill of the elves can reforge the sword of Elendil – but only you can wield it.” Elrond, to Aragon. Galadriel: “And what gift would a Dwarf ask of the Elves? Gimli: Nothing, but to look upon the Lady Galadhrim (?) one last time, for she is more fair than all the jewels beneath the earth.”
There is more and I will send this along, and now I can´t wait to see the DVD with these outtakes incorporated into the movie. They MUST do that for the DVD at least as an option.

Old time Ringer PippinSkywalker sent an email about Howard Shore, the Golden Globes, and his competition: [More]

The effervescent Ringer PippinSkywalker sends in another great report, this one on Howard Shore and his Golden Globe Award competition:
That’s right… our wonderful musical prince Howard Shore is up against the Three Kings of Composing. John Williams (For AI),James Horner (A Beautiful Mind) and Hans Zimmer (Pearl Harbor) have ALL been nominated.
I’m not sure about this one… Zimmer’s score for PH was not overly impressive. I have not heard James Horner’s score for Beautiful Mind but I will tell you this: He has QUITE a track record… look at Titanic and Braveheart. He is definitely one to watch. I must say I did like parts of John Williams score for AI.
It is difficult to tell at this point… also in the running is Craig Armstrong the composer of the acclaimed tragic musical Moulin Rouge. It is going to be a hard and tough race… but it is in times like this that even the small rise to shake the counsels of
the great.
An interesting side note… recently Skywalker also wrote in to point out that LotR:FotR was released four calendar years to the day of Titanic. Thanks for the news Cousin!

I’m on my third viewing of FotR and something has been growing on my mind. After seeing hundreds of pre-release images from stills, clips, and trailers, I was sure I’d seen some FotR shots from scenes that never made it to the final cut… Ringer Palleon -=XPd=- spotted a batch too and sent in this intriguing email: [More]

Hi guys,
Is it just me (and my friends here in the UK) or has anyone else noticed the bits cut from the film showing up in visual companions and the like?
Let me explain…. my friends and I thought it would be fun to get the LOTR sticker album from Merlin. Now I need 32 more stickers to complete it and have stared to notice I have stickers of scenes not in the film And worse, there (are) whole excerpts of dialouge in the sticker book not in the film… in fact there is one whole page dedicated to a scene in Lothlorien that’s not in the film!!
The ones most noticable are:
After meeting Strider there is a sticker of Pippin and Sam stuck in a swamp… Pippin is up to his neck in mud and Sam is trying to free him. The caption reads, “Strider takes the group through Chetwood Forest and across Midgewater Moors.’Where is he leading us?’ askes Sam. ‘To Rivendell Master Gamgee – to the house of Elrond,’ replies Strider. ‘We’re going to see Elves!!’ says Sam excitedly. They stop at Weathertop ‘No fire tonight!’ orders Strider.”
There are a number of photos of Elrond and Arwen talking and embracing in the middle of the Lothlorien scene…
Again in Lothlorien there is a scene of elves lining the river bank as the fellowship set sail….
and again a scene of elves lining a bridge as the fellowship travel underneath them….
also Galadriel is standing at the shore on her own watching as they sail away (2 photos of her as the camera slowly pulls back)
There is a also a shot of Galadriel handing things to the Fellowship… presumably the elven cloaks the whole cast are wearing after meeting the elves (notice the Lothlorien emblem on the clasps).
There is a portion of dialouge from when the Fellowship first leave Rivendell, where Gandalf is leaning on his staff saying, “Why did the Valar send me here in this old man’s body? To teach me humility no doubt. It is not the strength of the body that matters but the strength of the spirit.”
There is a number of photos of when Lutrz is “born” but also some shots of the Orcs pulling hundreds of things from the walls. The caption tells us the orcs pull hundreds of squirming maggots from the walls of Isengard.
I will try to scan in the photos of these shots and send them in to you soon. I just hope all these and more are included in the DVD version (as part of the film, not as “press to see deleted scenes”)!
Cheers
Palleon -=XPd=-
Tookish here… To add to this list I have a couple things from the Decipher LotR: FotR Trading Card Game. There is a picture where Strider and the four hobbits are tromping through marshland up to their knees, and another in which Legolas is holding a quiver or batch of what I think are Lorien arrows.
I also noticed in that Cedco box calendar a shot of Weathertop without the ruins… pre-effects no doubt.
Got more inconsistancies or evidence of lost scenes? Let us know!

Rarely do we ever tell you about the technical side of things at TORn, but I want to take some time to give a big shout out to Corvar and Arathorn for maintaining TheOneRing.net’s server through the busiest week in our 2.5 year history. However, our server is straining under the immense traffic generated by the release of the films. If you feel you can help out TORn in anyway this season, please do what you can. [More]
