It seems the movie covers the destruction of Isenguard by the Ents, but not what happens after. Gandalf's ride to Isenguard, Saruman's downfall (skewered or not) and the recovery of Saruman's pilantir appear to be moved to RoTK. I hope they are not putting off too much to RoTK! - A lot needs to happen there already!

Since they're dumping the entire "Scouring of the Shire" sequence and likely most everything else between the wedding and the Havens, time probably won't be that big of an issue - if they have the usual 3 hours to work with.

Especially when you consider how quickly they'll probably cover the trudge across Mordor. But still, there's A LOT to cover:

Palantirs, the death of Saruman, and the ride to Gondor

Merry, Squire of Gondor, Dernhelm, and the Ride of the Rohirrim

Paths of the Dead and the Corsairs of Umbar

Introduction to Minas Tirith and Denethor, Pippin of the Guard

Wounding of Faramir, the siege, the breaking of the gates, Denethor's suicide

Death of the Witch King and the battle of the Pelennor

March on the black gates

Shelob and the escape from Cirith Ungol

Frodo and Sam disguised as orcs

The destruction of the Ring

The crowning and wedding of Aragorn

Wrap up and the Grey Havens

Wow. THAT'S a movie!
