Egad! I haven't read the book -- did Jackson pitch some of these things only as a way to "sell" the story to standard studio-types? Please tell me he wasn't serious about all of these ideas, ultimately. Though the Eowyn as Faramir storyline kind of intrigues me..and a lot of the "combined" ideas for a shorter number of films make sense, in a weird sort of way, and if you only want to do a story loosely based on the book. So much for Frodo being a wimp -- murdering Gollum like that would really give him a different character arc... Naked bathing scene?? Well, that has possibilities... Uruks eating babies? Sounds like a throw back to Bad Taste. Giant eagles crashing and Sam roping a Nazgul? Please. I'll take the cascading skulls and Gimli the comic dwarf any day over that stuff. Thanks for posting these -- very fun -- and scary!
