sir ian spills beans
i have just seen an interview with sir ian mckellen on a chat show we have here in the uk.
he says that we can expect more gandalf scences, the input of sarumans scenes and a running time of up to 5hours from the EE of rotk. he also says that there are two production companies battling for the rights of the hobbit and that when either one is in a position they will approach pj. he also says that he will be very dissapointed if he himself isnt approached to play gandalf(that makes two of us) he also said that the biggest factor in him getting the part of gandalf and beating high competition such as antony hopkins and sean connery was that pj wanted to cast someone who in the eyes of the fans would become gandalf, and not have the actor be bigger than the character. (sorry if that bit was in the wrong forum) (about the hobbit)

*insert high-pitched, girlish shriek here* Five hours!!!! Wahoo!!!! *grabs popcorn and Gimli mug* Can't wait!!! Hopefully there will be the Scouring of the Shire, the Black Breath scene, and more Faramir/Eowyn. In the movie, they looked a teach other at Aragorn's coronation, and that was IT!!!

Maybe they'll have Aragorn and Arwen's wedding. Ironic that that didn't make the movie. Arwen had so many made up scenes and they didn't put in her best real one.

i use to think that, but then again they could have filmed that bit just for the mirror scene. they had to dismantel the set at some point, perhaps they burned it down and filmed it as they did so...just to be a part of the mirror scene.
glad to hear about the possiblity of a 5 hour extended ROTK. thanks for the info.

I think I have read that PJ did not like the Scouring in the books, therefore he didn't want to shoot it, but that could be a rumor. I hope it will be included in the extended. That would be so awesome, seeing the little hobbits save their homes. Did you say 5 hours?! Wohoo!

I think it is an important part as well and it should be included in the films.

PJ says he didn't like the scouring in the book on the TTT EE DVD. That's why I believe there is no hope that we'll ever see it.

There was never much hope, only a fool's hope.
