  • LotR info

    I dont realy hang out in the soap box much, so dont know if anybodys interested in this, but I got some insider info from Wetafx last night.

    First and formost, Shelob isnt going to be in the Two Towers She will turn up in the 3rd movie though.

    The Ents are absolutely amazing. Apparently if you are standing a foot away from the models, you cant tell they arnt real.

    They turn over between 1 and 1.2 TERABYTES! of data a day!

    They have 'monthly' showings for staff, and the computer to show the outtakes are quite fancy. Each frame is about 12MB in size, and there are (24? 30?) frames per second. Imaging the raid array running that. Remember that 288MB/sec has to be substained!

    They hand over the film to NewLine in 3 weeks from now, so things are getting close.

    They have 4.5 hours of full footage, which they have to cut down to the 3 hour limit imposed by NewLine. The special extended DVD version will have the whole lot.

    Im sure there was some other stuff, but I cant remember it at the moment.

        TDB: Yeah, she does. Right at the end of the book...

        SPOILERS! The end of TTT is a big climax - she stings Frodo, Sam puts on the ring, and too late realizes that Frodo isn't really dead after all, only captured by orcs. Jackson is apparently moving it to the third movie, otherwise there would be very little of Frodo and Sam in the third movie, except at the very end. SPOILERS!

                No, but one of the things I'm a relative expert on is LotR.

                Now if you want REAL esoterica on LotR, go visit the green books at OneRing:

                Stay updated on all things Tolkien – from Amazon’s Lord of the Rings series to The War of the Rohirrim, video games, and beyond. TheOneRing.net has been the fan community hub since 1999 for everything in the worlds of J.R.R. Tolkien.


                THOSE people (Turgon, Quickbeam, Anwyn) have WAAAAAAY too much time on their hands, and WAAAAAY too many copies of "the histories of middle earth, volume 328" between them.
