Ian McKellen says the title of the second Lord Of The Rings film will not be changed.
An online petition is urging director Peter Jackson to abandon plans to call the sequel The Two Towers.
Some fans wanted it to be renamed following the attacks on the twin towers of the World Trade Centre.
But McKellen says: "The notion that the title should be changed in respect to New York City's sensibilities has rightly been resisted."
Writing in his online journal at www.mckellen.com, he says the film's US premiere will be in Manhattan and the first European showing will be in Paris.
McKellen says he has seen some of the footage from the new film: "I have seen the Balrog again on screen - wowee fans! - marvelled at the first heart-stopping entrance of the super-equine Shadowfax and some of the Helm's Deep battling as Gandalf commits himself Samurai-like to the fray."
The Lord Of The Rings: The Two Towers will be released in the UK on December 13.
Maybe it's just me, but I seriously doubt any fans wanted the movie to be renamed. Sometimes, I seriously doubt the intelligence of the members of the press.
Really? I wonder why. :)

Of course right! I wants to choke the little twit that started the whole thing... And Ananova for giving it legs in the first place.
Needs Ginsu blades of death!
Where it belongs.
Do you think it's the split ends or that his hairspray failed?
In that first pic, he looks like someone dumped a bucket of Gatorade(tm) over his head, and he's ready for some payback...
Well, then, Saruman's Uruk Hai had better look out... 'cause that's one Elf with a mad-on!
Except a "blow dried rat!"
I'm glad to hear this about the title.
