Return of the King Extended Cut, Spoiler (HUGE) and pics

[Jorath Calar]

Saw this posted on another forum...

Here be pics


The first group of pics is the group talking to Saruman. Legolas asks if he should kill him and Gandalf says no, he will deal with him. Apparently, Grima somehow kills Saruman by pushing him off Orthanc with the palantir). But before Saruman died, he still tried to convince Theoden. “Theoden, we've been friends of old…can we not be friends? Can we not have peace?” ”We will have peace.” Everybody looks at him. “'We will have peace when you pay for the boys whose bodies were hewn as they lay against the gates of the Hornburg. When they are avenged. And then when you hang from a jibbet for the sport of your own crows, we will have peace.” Then Wormtongue appears and Theoden forgives him. “Grima, Grima - come down. You weren't always like this. Once you were a man who served me well. Leave this poison.”, but Saruman will reveal that Gríma killed Théodred (instead of to have killed Lotho, according to the book, in "The Scouring of the Shire". "You forced me to do it", says Grima, to which Saruman will talk back: "and you always do what I say to you, right, serpent".. In the site you will see a pic where Saruman is bullying Grima.

The second batch is of a drinking contest between Legolas and Gimli.
Apparently there is a scene, before they leave Edoras, in which Aragorn consoles Eowyn in Meduseld.

The other one is: Frodo and Sam at the crossroads. According to the ROTK guide, Frodo becomes sad and says: "Long ago these lands formed part of the Kingdom of Gondor: a long time ago, when there was a King and the West was strong."

There are also more Arwen and Elrond scenes and we may see how Arwen really became sick (although it might not seem to clear why).We'll possibly see the scene from the trailer where Elrond say: "You gave away your life's grace. I cannot protect you anymore."

Then in the Council in Meduseld: “If the ring is destroyed, Sauron will fall and his fall will be so low that none will see his arising ever again… but if Sauron regains the ring, his victory will be swift and complete. Things are now in motion that cannot be undone. Sauron has looked into the face of young Peregrin Took and mistaken him for the Ringbearer. He has gone unchallenged long enough. The Eye of the Enemy will be turned this way – he will send for Pippin.”

Merry and Pippin's farewell at Edoras is longer and more emotional. In clear allusion with the dialogue that both maintain in "The Two Towers", when Merry explains to Pippin that, if Saruman and Sauron succeed, they will not return to see The Shire, now in the farewell Merry says to Pippin: "We will see the Shire again" just like the one in the trailer. At the same time, he gives Pip the last of the pipe weed that we saw in the TC. Then Merry and Aragorn speak on the turret: “Where are they going?” “Pippin will be alright. Gandalf is taking him to the safest place in all of Middle-earth, to the city of Minas Tirith. No army of Sauron has ever crossed the Anduin, not while the men of Gondor have held the passage of the river. He knows not to what end he rides, yet if he knew, he would still go on.”

Merry will swear his loyalty to King Théoden: as well as Pippin swears his loyalty to Denethor. We have seen already in some trailers the image pertaining to this moment: "I have a sword. I offer you my services, King Theoden". "I accept them with happiness: you will be Meriadoc, esquire of Rohan, and will ride with me". This already seen scene in the documentary one of "The Return of the King" of National Geographic.

Minas Tirith: “Gandalf, why are they guarding a dead tree?” Gandalf explains that they guard it in hopes that the waning rule of Gondor may one day flourish again. “What did they bring, the kings of old, over the Sundered Sea, seven stars and seven stones and one white tree.”

In the Path of the Dead, Aragorn, Legolas, and Gimli will suffer an avalanche of skulls manufactured with great effort by WETA.

The scenes in which we see Aragorn downcast, and Legolas consoling him, they would be able to correspond to the exit of the Paths of the Dead, basing on the comments of the photos and in the album of the movie. Thus it is introduced more dramatic, since would give the sensation that the dead persons have not responded to the threat of war, although they have left them to pass (perhaps by being the King of Gondor). And also it gives entrance to a dialogue says Legolas in the book and that also appears in the album of the movie: "The dead persons come behind us.... I see the form of men and horses and pale banners as shreds of clouds, and throw like thickets of winter in a night of fog", doing reference to that the dead persons finally respond to the call of Aragorn.

Possibly we see also the scenes of the attack of Aragorn and The Army of the Dead to the fleet of Corsairs. We recall that does little the data left that Peter Jackson will have a cameo of two minutes as captain of the Corsairs.

In the EE DVD we will see Pippin and Gandalf looking toward Mordor from the balcony of Minas Tirith. From where they are, it can be a good moment to explain something of the history of Gondor, Minas Tirith, the Tree, the seven stones, etc. : “Mordor. This city has ever dwelt in sight of that shadow.” We’ve run out of time! Sauron has hated the West for many ages. It is a hatred that flows from the depths of time and across the deeps of the sea.”

Minas Morgul Erupts: “The most fell of all his captains. His own folk quail at him and would slay themselves at his bidding. That accursed valley fell into evil a very long time ago.”

Possibly we will see Denethor angry with his son Faramir, for having let go Frodo with the One Ring: “Boromir would have thought of his father. He would have brought a gift of kings.” Also it is possible that we will see Denethor throwing in Faramir's face that he has more esteem to Gandalf than to his own father: “Boromir was loyal to his father and not a wizard's pupil.”; “Why is your father so angry; I would help if I could.” “There is nothing you can do.” Faramir and Pippin bond. Although their meeting is brief, Pippin and Faramir become friends at Minas Tirith.

Faramir’s Charge: "Faramir… Faramir… Your father’s will has turned to madness and evil. Do not throw your life away so rashly" "Where does my allegiance lie if not here? This is the city of the Men of Numenor. I will gladly give my life to defend her beauty, her memory, her wisdom." "Your father loves you Faramir… he’ll remember it before the end"

In its day, appeared in the IMDB, in a prior page with the distribution of ERDR, that the actor Wi Kuki Kaa would interpret to Ghân-buri-Ghân. WE might see the Woses in the EE.

A baby battering ram is used and orcs using it are slaughtered by archers. Gothmog calls for Grond.

The Easterlings will have their importance in the fight inside Minas Tirith when the doors fall. (YAY!! It's about time!! LOL)

The clash between Gandalf and the Witch King will be a surprise. In the first place, the scene in which the Witch King says that it will submit the White Wizard in the TC of the movie will remain complete, although it will not be faithful to the book. The Witch King will intercept Gandalf and Pippin (when are going to try to save Faramir from the pyre of Denethor), arriving in his winged beast in a scene that have we have seen already in part. In the fight, the Witch King will break the staff of Gandalf (Just like Gandalf, at least in the book, broke the staff of Saruman in demonstration of his power). But then the horns of the Rohirrim army will be heard and the Witch King will move away. This scene has to give a greater sense of importance to the clash between Eowyn and the Witch King. We will see Gamling die in the Battle of the Pelennor Fields. Also we will see how Eomer mourns the death of his uncle and his sister (this scene we have seen in a trailer of The Return of the King).

Mouth of Sauron: “His name is remembered in no tale.”; Gandalf despairs at seeing the Mithril coat and Aragorn slays the Mouth of Sauron, after this comes the infamous quote, "For Frodo... This could also explain the sudden disappearance of the horses.

Gollum: “Wicked Baggins mustn’t go that way! Mustn’t hurt precious!”

The Fall of Sauron: Pippin holds Merry as they both weep for Frodo. Tens of thousands of orcs plummet from Barad-dur.

Also it certifies that Eomer will be crowned King of Rohan and will fortify the union among Rohan and Gondor.

We will see the two weddings that lack: that of Aragorn and Arwen and the wedding of Eowyn and Faramir. Possibly we will have more scenes of farewells among the members of the Fellowship of the Ring. We might be able to have the scene in which Arwen sings a song, just as Liv Tyler confirmed one day.

Galadriel’s Epilogue: Galadriel would mention the fate of the heroes at the end of the Third Age. Gimli founds a dwarf colony at Helm’s Deep (Glittering Caves). Faramir is made Prince of Ithilien and weds Eowyn. Eomer takes of the seat in Meduseld, etc. Maybe we could finally hear Arwen's dialogue that she always speak in interviews "Law, hîr nín, ú dollen i Rîw. Anírach, nui lû, gwannad uin gwaith lín?"

I don't really want to read this, just skimmed over it... damn it is going to be good... [img]smile.gif[/img]

I second that. I can` wait to see it. [img]smile.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/thumbsup.gif[/img]

[Mack_Attack]

Well I have not had a chance to watch the extended version as of yet. But it looks like some cool scenes were added. How long is the movie with the added clips? I am not to sure if I can sit that long.

[Morgeruat]

I wonder if the epilogue will also mention Legolas and Gimli leaving middle earth together... that was always one of my favorite parts, wary and untrusting in the beginning and by the end they have become such good friends that they leave middle earth together.

[Harkoliar]

hmm.. interesting.

[Sir Degrader]

I can't wait to see it either... Peter Jackson as a Corsair [img]smile.gif[/img]

[Jorath Calar]

Yes that will be funny, I was wondering were his cameo in he 3rd was

He has had a cameo in each of the movies, in the first one he is the carrot eating guy outside the Pranching Pony. and in the second one he is a Rohan Warrior on the Helms Deep walls throwing a spear.

I am soooooo glad that line did not make the original [img]graemlins/hehe.gif[/img] I hope it does not make the extended cut.... it is so crass!

Thanks for the post Jorath Calar
