Ready for the first rumor? OK. Some of you may remember the spy photo released last year that was reported to be a dead Gandalf skewered on a big wheel. It caused a mini panic over the assumed "Bombadilization" of the Balrog in Gandalf's "death".

Well we all now know it was not Gandalf on the wheel, and since Radagast's role in the story has apparently been given to a moth, there is only one wizard left. The Wizard-Kabob can only be Saruman, or a very clever fake to throw off the spies and rumor mongers! Here it is:

So there is our first tidbit!

Yes, I think it's been pretty well established that that is Saruman meeting his end. I think the question is when that will occur...

It could occur in either TTT or RotK, and I have heard evidence of both. It is pretty much confirmed, I think PJ said it himself quite clearly, that the Scouring is out. So this probably takes place at Orthanc. But it could occur when they show up at Orthanc in TTT, or they could have them all stop by on their way back to The Shire. Or, it could just happen without any of our heroes being there--it's hard to say.

I've heard that Christopher Lee said he was in all three movies, but then there are other interviews that point to this happening in TTT. So I am just going to wait and see on this one.

More TTT Spoiler news:

* Peter explained that the actual book The Two Towers is too short for a film so they have expanded a lot of the material. He emphasized that the film will be heavy in the development of Frodo and Sam with Smeagol and that there is a lot of development with Frodo and Faramir. So much in fact, that Shelob has BEEN MOVED TO RETURN OF THE KING.

* A fan asked if the Slinker/Stinker would be included and PJ said yes.

* Fran ( Peter's wife ) actually recently wrote and directed a piece in TTT that is all about the background of Gollum. We will get to see how he transformed into the creature that he is... PJ pridefully pointed out that Fran had written and directed it all on her own.

* A fan asked about the Ents storming Isengard and PJ confirmed that we will see this. "Oh yes" he said.

* Two Towers is written to cut back and forth between the three story lines that are taking place.
