Q: In the appendixes of LOTR, Tolkien clearly mentions that Gandalf is a bearer of one the 3 Elven rings by the time the Fellowship are on their journey to Mordor. However, on closer inspection, I didn't see any ring on any of Gandalf's fingers. Is this ring just not mentioned yet, or is it a detail that was left out?
A: By the end of the story, Gandalf will be wearing the ring, although it is not, I think, mentioned in the dialogue of the screenplay.
"I got to see some footage of ROTK, actually it was an actual scene. The scene consisted of a King who as fallen in battle and his nephew who is his last true heir gives a lament to his fallen Uncle. Very emotional scene. I was almost driven to tears, I would haved cried if the scene had been scored. That won't happen untill sometime in September. BTW, if I have to actually tell you the names of the characteres invloved in this scene, then you are NOT a LOTR fan.
I did get to go Thursday and watch some pick-ups being shot at wellington studios, they are actually doing some more pick ups for the pellenor fields, they are using a giant blue screen and there were a bunch of extras. Also in previous pick ups, Dom Monaghan did some new scenes with Bernard Hill who plays Theoden.
Finally, work on the trailer will begin in late August. It will be a type of "super trailer," over 2 minutes in length. Also, don't get your hopes up about seeing shelob in the trailer, she will be teased. You may see just a leg or any eye or just her lair, they really are not considering putting her in the trailer in all her glory.
Also, there is talk of adding a hidden ROTK preview to TTT EE dvd just like what was done with TFOTR EE dvd and TTT hidden preview. Nothing is certain yet."
Thats all!
It was a stone of fire, its power was to inspire the hearts of the free peoples.
Elrond also had a ring, and did not wear it openly. If you'll remember from the book, Sam could not see Galadriel's ring Ninya on her hand, but Frodo could, because he was a bearer of a Ring of Power. Both Elron and Galadriel used their rings to establish a field of protection and a kind of "non-decaying" spell around their kingdons of Rivendell and Lothlorien.
