Beautiful picture! I think Hildebrandt was used as a consultant with the movie.

SPOILERS for ROTK







However, it is not accurate to the book. In ROTK, Eowyn slays the beast with her helmet ON, and then as she faces the Nazgul on FOOT, she removes her helmet after he says, "No man will ever slay me"

A great scene in the book--I look forward to the movie!

Artistic license by the Brothers Hildebrandt, I'm sure. Even if the book has Eowyn slaying the winged beast with her helmet on, I'm glad the Hildebrandts decided to show her with her blonde hair flowing. Must more dramatic, and beautiful.

"No man will ever slay me"

If memory serves: "Hinder me? Thou fool! No living man may hinder me!"

PJ had better deliver on this scene -- but how do they work in the prophecy?

One other note: she slays the beast with her helmet off. The Hildebrandts got it right.

IF YOU'RE FOLLOWING ALONG AND JUST WANT TO SEE THE MOVIES WITHOUT READING THE BOOKS, DON'T CLICK THE LINK BELOW.
