I thought it was Orthanc and Barad Dur.... and so does Jackson...

When I first saw TTT poster, I thought that the near tower looked more like Barad Dur...It's been a few months since I''ve seen FOTR, but I don't think the near tower resembles Orthanc (from the movie)at all. It's a dead ringer for the Orthanc painting ksen posted earlier

TTT title comes from events occuring at two separate towers... the siege and defeat of Saruman at Orthanc, and the Ringbearer's capture at Minas Morgul...at least that's what I've always thought...

Oh yeah...Borogrove...

It never occurred to me that the title might be talking about Morgul... Minus Morgul is just a watchtower though... hmmm...

I can't find the answer anywhere! - in Jackson's script in both the trailers, first Gandalf then Galadriel both clearly say Orthanc and Barad Dur.

My 50 mallorn seeds are still in play..., but the gambler is nervously fingering the cards...

I think you and Corin need to carpool the 160 miles to OT(?)'s dollar theatre to see the movie again. I believe Alan Lee, the guy who painted the pic I posted earlier was involved in making FoTR the movie.

Penny, could you post pics of Orthanc and Barad-Dur for us to compare? Thanks in advance.
