OT - Return of the King trailer

funny, i seem to remember that scene where he nearly got caught by the nazgul on that bridge-thingy in the book.

Perhaps you should reread that chapter? Faramir was tempted by the ring, but was able to resist it, and stocked Frodo and Sam up with supplies while they were in the hideout and sent them on their way. As was said before, the movie did a 180 on his character.

You might be remembering something else. They are headed for the 'hidden stair' up the Ephel Duath (and into Shelob's lair) when the army marches out of Minas Morgul. Frodo has a difficult time resisting the urge to put on the Ring when the Witch King appears, and did in fact go galloping towards Minas Morgul when they first come into the valley where it was situated but was restrained (by Sam & Gollum) before he could actually cross the bridge into Minas Morgul. This is probably what inspired Jackson's 'adaptation' relocated into Ost-Giliath. After the battle with Shelob and escape from the Tower of Cirith Ungol they go running away from the tower when a Nazgul lands on it, and they have to jump off a bridge to avoid being caught by troops riding up from the other direction. Another 'near miss' but no where near Ost-Giliath.

Check out the extended-special-DVD-Alpha-Turbo-Gold-Ultra-Wide-Fast edition. It's got some extra stuff on that scene that is very nice, although still different than the book.

thanks, Baron Munch.

Oh, sorry...I thought this was a thread about Stone Mill getting back into KOTH.

Sorry...

I'll leave now

From the Two Towers DVD, I'm as excited about the extended Version as I am about the Return of the King. Give me more Ents, and the Huorns too!!

Seeing the Ents and the Huorns was the part I was most looking forward to in the Two Towers. I couldn't remember the part where Aragorn fell in the river either but even if I felt the second was a let down from the first, I'll be heading to see the third either on Boxing Day, when it is released here in Oz, or soon after.
Did anyone else hear that Peter Jackson would like to do a remake of The Hobbit too?

The Aragorn falling into river scene was not part of the book, and did not really add anything at all to the story that I could determine.
