If I made the LOTR movie

I figured I'd start this thread. Instead of complaining about Jackson's movie - or even fawning all over him, we might as well discuss what we would have done had we made the movie.

First there is one assumption in my movie. I'm a multi-billionaire and I fund my movie myself. That way I'm not tied down to what the studios want - nor do I really care if it makes a dime or if FOTR alone lasts 5 hours.

I'd have a Lord of the Rings council - made of myself and 9 other LOTR fans. The other 9 would be chosen through a contest based on essays and face to face interviews. It would be the council's job to represent the LOTR fans and to try bringing the books to the screen. They would determine actors, scenes, script changes, etc. It would take 2/3 vote to pass a change or to make a decision.

If you were one of the nine - what would you request for the movie?
