Spoiler alert!

ROTK & TTT: EE Details?
Xoanon @ 12:59 pm EST

Mattforce sends along these snippets gleamed from the Official LOTR Magazine's latest issue:

The two major changes in RotK are addition of TTT material and cutting of Scouring:

- Isengard sequence/VOS is at the beginning of RotK.

- Minas Morgul, stairs of Cirith Ungol and Shelob's lair also in RotK

- "We don't have the Scouring of the Shire." (In case anyone was holding out hope ... )

- At this point, no Ghan-Buri-Ghan. Doubts this will be added in pickups.

- Otherwise it follows the book "reasonably well."

Other stuff:

- Shelob will be "the creepiest and scariest of creatures." Based on the Tunnel Web spider of New Zealand. Photo above

- Mumakil and Nazgul will have center-stage appearances - more spectacular.

- Post-production should be completed and film "delivered" end of October, early November.

- Also of interest: "We only meet one new character, which is Denethor - and he's only new to those who don't check out The Two Towers extended cut in November!" Sounds like a comfirmation of the Faramir / Boromir / Denethor flashback.

Reminder.... these are actually pictures we/I have seen before:

Frodo and Sam under Osgiliath.

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]
