*POTENTIAL SPOILERS* Updated "Unexpected Journey Scroll"
|
Can't Post
|
|
I just downloaded the new official 'Hobbit' app from Warner bros and while looking at the scroll I quickly noticed that the scroll ends before Beorn and the barrels out of bond scene. These pictures are instead replaced with a picture of either the eagle's eerie or the lonely mountain along with gandalf and thorin. I guess this confirms what people were saying about the AUJ ending after the eagles rescue the company. What do you guys think? http://www.flickr.com/...91620/in/photostream
"'Ai! ai!' wailed Legolas. 'A Balrog! A Balrog is come!' Gimli stared with wide eyes. 'Durin's Bane!' he cried, and letting his axe fall he covered his face. 'A Balrog,' muttered Gandalf. 'Now I understand. What an evil fortune! And I am already weary.''
