Two Towers Opening

GandalfTheWhite · 11-11-2002, 07:54 PM

I know that TTT opens in the US on Dec. 18th, does anyone know if they are going to have midnight showings or not, i really hope they do, or else i will definately have to skip school that day!

***IronParrot*** · 11-12-2002, 07:48 PM

I know for sure that there are midnight showings all over Canada, at Famous Players locations at least. In fact, I already have my tickets.

Why skip school? You have school at midnight?

Millane · 11-12-2002, 11:47 PM

i dont know bout america but in australia it opens on 26th december and so they wont have a midnight screening i think the first one (in Bendigo anyway) the first screening is 10.00 that morning.

markedel · 11-13-2002, 11:48 AM

My exams end the 13th-you know what that means

Millane · 11-13-2002, 08:41 PM

MWAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

my exams finish on the 6th...
and i am going to Hong Kong on the weekend so i have about 5 days left

Blackboar · 11-15-2002, 05:41 PM

My dad works inda film company so I can see it b4 da previews!!
I think the end will be really good when Sam thinks Frodo is dead. That'l b real tragic, that will.
Theres gonna b loads a wars 2.

Shadowfax · 11-15-2002, 11:32 PM

Oooh, I need to get tickets!!!! Oh my goodness, I can't wait; I am getting so excited!

Sylvee Estel · 11-16-2002, 12:04 AM

The 18th is a Wednesday, right? Well anyway my exams are the 18th 19th and 20th. Just my luck, depending on my grades from now and until then and depending on my parents mood, I might haev to wait 3 days before seeing it!!!!

Renille · 11-17-2002, 02:40 PM

NOOOO! This means I'm stuck in the exact same boat as last year because..."No staying up abnormally late on a school night."
Which means I have to wait 3 whole days! Not fair. Oh well.

Amandil · 11-17-2002, 03:02 PM

Does anybody know when tTT opens in Continental Europe? Or does anybody know I can find out -- in English? A sorry lot are folks like me...

Christiana · 11-18-2002, 12:52 AM

I CANT WAIT!!!!!!!

Don't want to disappoint (or spoil) but I don't think that you will get to see that in the movie of TTT.

Shelob has been moved to the beginning of the ROTK movie.

Not sure how they'll end TTT for Frodo and Sam. Perhaps after they leave Faramir and begin their ascent around Minas Morgul?

***IronParrot*** · 11-19-2002, 01:50 AM

Likely. Chronologically speaking, they don't even reach Shelob until Gondor is already being thoroughly ravaged... in the book, there's only a two day gap between their parting with Faramir, and Faramir's arrival in Minas Tirith.

A final shot of Frodo, Sam and Gollum at the Cross-roads would not be unlike FOTR's final shot of the descent into the Emyn Muil. In terms of the film's narrative, that would make sense.

Christiana · 11-20-2002, 12:54 AM

They are going to see shelo.i saw this interview w/ EW,and he says the scariest thing the hobbits enconter in tt is a secret.

***IronParrot*** · 11-20-2002, 01:04 AM

Just because it's secret doesn't necessarily mean it's Shelob.

Though I'm wondering if Shelob's appearance will be completely concealed from all marketing materials, just as the Balrog's was...

Christiana · 11-20-2002, 01:07 AM

Look at the end of LOTR:TTT Creatures.(it just came out)

Renille · 11-21-2002, 12:21 AM

ee...Shelob...*shudders*

I was absolutely disgusted when I saw the spiders in"Harry Potter." I think I'm arachnophobic...I almost hyperventilated. So Shelob...eek...I'll probably be out refilling my popcorn or else fainted under my seat.

And that end to TTT sounds very feasible...but again, kind of dissapointing to everyone who hasn't even read the books. Heehee...suspense and cliffhangers are so lovely when you know what's going on!

Elf.Freak · 11-21-2002, 11:55 AM

i can't wait either! i always book early, and go after school to the cinema!

Blackboar · 11-27-2002, 02:08 PM

I am just going to miss school totally. I am going to stay home and see FotR then go to the first showing straight afterwards!!

I'm so excited!
