Re: Any ideas what will be appearing in the extended edition of Return of the King

The info on the cut scenes with Gil-galad was in an excerpt from a PJ interview a couple of years back. I think it was on TORN, though I can't be positive anymore. Many clips of Gil-galad can be seen in the FOTR EE extras, though there is no dialogue. The storyboards for Gil-galad's death can also b...

Re: Any ideas what will be appearing in the extended edition of Return of the King

You are right that the sons of Elrond did not attend the Council in the book... they were out guarding the vale while the fate of the ring was decided (if I recall correctly.) However, if PJ did intend for those two dudes to represent Elladan and Elrohir, then I am willing to forgive the misplacemen...

Re: Any ideas what will be appearing in the extended edition of Return of the King

Well, I'm fairly certain that one of the elves sitting beside Elrond is indeed the guy standing behind Arwen later on. I distinctly remember making that connection several times without really thinking about it, and that cannot be mere coincidence. But you are right in one respect... who truly knows...

Re: Any ideas what will be appearing in the extended edition of Return of the King

Ah, the mysterious "Figwit" is revealed at last. Ok, here is my theory on that: PJ is not above casting the same actor in different parts, especially ones that have almost no screen time, or one line at best. The advantage in this is that not only are you paying just one person for the job...

Re: Any ideas what will be appearing in the extended edition of Return of the King

Figwit? You have to enlighten me on that one. Yes, the sudden sprout of Rohirrim soldiers in ROTK does seem a little odd after Helm's Deep, but there are two factors to consider here: 1- Though there were only 300 warriors at HD, this was but a small fraction of the forces available to Theoden. The ...

Re: Any ideas what will be appearing in the extended edition of Return of the King

I don't doubt that wherever it was that you looked is convinced the person in question is Imrahil. The problem lies with the fact that the sole piece of evidence that supports this claim is the Dechiper game card (as far as I know.) Unfortunately, game cards are riddled with inconsistencies and erro...

Re: Any ideas what will be appearing in the extended edition of Return of the King

I found another site that say that that dude is Prince Imrahil. That's all fine and well, but until I have some in-movie evidence to confirm that, I will choose to disregard it simply because the guy in the movie and the scene in which he's in do not fit the profile at all of Prince Imrahil. PJ snu...

Re: Any ideas what will be appearing in the extended edition of Return of the King

I'm fairly sure Imrahil arrives before the siege. When all the troops are arriving from the outlying fiefs and towns, Tolkien goes into great details as to where each contingent is from, who is leading it, and how many men are part of it. The largest and most important one to arrive is that of Princ...

Re: Any ideas what will be appearing in the extended edition of Return of the King

I've heard that same theory before, that Prince Imrahil is the guy at the gates with the one line of dialogue, but somehow that doesn't fit. I think if PJ was going to put that particular character in the movie, he would have accorded it more importance rather than to just leave him nameless in one ...

Re: Any ideas what will be appearing in the extended edition of Return of the King

Oh, the list of goofups in all three films is simply enormous. The Frodo-dummy that Arwen rides to the Fords with is very obvious in a couple of shots and PJ didn't do much to fix that, so I don't think he will bother with the Merry-dummy. Here is my wish-list of stuff that I wish would be in the EE...

Re: Any ideas what will be appearing in the extended edition of Return of the King

lol... yeah, all the screaming fangirls were more than a little silly. Because the bootleg clip did not have a natural starting point, I suspect there was much before the Isengard scene that we did not see. There is some kind of clock running on the screen, and when the clip starts, it reads 01:03:2...

Re: Any ideas what will be appearing in the extended edition of Return of the King

I know about the new DVD standards coming out as you and I have discussed them before... what I found out of place in PJ's comments is that he mentioned doing this once Kong is out of the way. I thought the new DVD tech was still a ways away, and since he is already working on Kong, that project wil...

Re: Any ideas what will be appearing in the extended edition of Return of the King

On a not so bright note, here's a recent quote from PJ over at MovieWeb: I'm sure most of you have heard me blabbing off in the past few weeks but we've just finished the extended cut of the DVD. I finished the edit before I came over here - these poor bastards at Weta have got another 350 effects s...

Re: Any ideas what will be appearing in the extended edition of Return of the King

There is one notable absence to the extended scenes that no one has pointed out yet, to my knowledge. It is one of my favourite scenes in the books, and it even appears from the theatrical release that PJ intended to film it, but had to cut it out for time. The scene I speak of is Sam's confrontatio...
