Oh No, I love that part! Merry, Pippin get to be warriors in their own land, and Sam gets to be heroic where Rosie Cotton can see him!! I guess PJ wil contrive something to bring it all together. After seeing the fabulous job he did with FoTR, I'll trust him with the rest!
Q: How will you handle the scouring of the Shire?
A: Peter Jackson states that this is a troubling chapter for him. He understands it was an important concern to Tolkien after experiencing the ravages of war, and how industry changed the countryside. He says he attempted to pay homage to this in the scenes shown in Galadriel's mirror, but that after three films of Frodo carrying the ring, he can't do it.
Thats it folks.
