We shall see if they corrected it or not. I am sure many fans wrote in about the error.

I think in the movie, Orthanc and Barad-dur are the Towers. A non-Tolkien-freak is just not going to understand at all about Cirith Ungol. They have enough trouble with the other two.

You may be right about that... And there would be no consequence if they left it that way. (Of course, I grew up thinking that way, so it feels right)

If Shelob's Lair has been moved to RotK, as rumors suggest, then perhaps the Orthanc/Barad-dur interpretation isn't so inappropriate for PJ's movie. Our fair heroes won't get to Cirith Ungol until the next installment.
