Return of the King

This is... thoughts, on what they are going to change for RotK. So, again, I do the whole cutthing.


First and foremost, I suspect that the climax of the movie will take place during the battle for Minas Tirith. There will be no 'March on the Black Gate'.

Which is sad, but it fits with how they've pared things down (Hello, where's the confrontation with Saruman?). There's something like four climaxes in the book, anyway. Minas Tirith, the Black Gate, Mount Doom, and the Shire.

Second, no Shire doings. This would drag the movie longer, and I fear it will be cut (with the Bilbo bits in the extended version, it's possible this will also make the RotK X).

Third. Eowyn. Sadly, I fear that she and Aragorn will marry, and Arwen will go with her kin. Faramir will either die, or fall for some cute elf chick.

I suspect death, since he fell for the ring as his brother did.

Since there was no Dunharrow, the Paths of the Dead will probably be behind Helm's Deep. The mustering of Rohan will also be at Helm's Deep, rather than Edoras or Dunharrow.

It's all sad. They should have just done it as 6 movies. ;)
