Capturing Tolkien's Vision vs. A Literal Interpretation

Melko Belcha · 04-27-2003, 07:46 PM

Somewhere on the EE of FotR PJ says that the original script had many more changes to the story then the finished film ended up having, but he had to keep going back to the original material to make things work. Basically he couldn't change as much as he originaly planned and wanted to change. I would love to see the original script with all the changes, he probably had the Shire located inside the Rammas Echor, or maybe the explanation of why Fangorn Forest is to the North-east when heading west from the Anduin.
