    Return of the king, Disappointing??

    Looks like Saruman will not be in TROTK. This means no Scouring of the Shire!

    Looks like I am gonna be pissed.

      Well, it's not the first time in Hollywood history that character and story development has taken a back seat to blood and mayhem.

        I can understand why they wouldn't include the Scouring of the Shire, the movie is going to be packed enough with everything leading up to the destruction of the ring (Oh no, I spoiled it for everyone! ) It is kinda annoying that they cut the encounter with Saruman when Gandolf and everyone else goes to Isengard, but at least that'll be on the extended edition DVD release.

          *shrug*

          We knew the scouring was pretty much out.

          The Isengard scene is important, though. It'll have to make it into the extended cut.

              Just goes to show that no matter what badass thing someone writes, Hollywood is bound to screw it up!

                  Got to be careful what they cut in the last film as the book itself isn't the strongest in the series.

                    hehe, talking about "spoilers"
                    In a Swedish national test they have included one of the page from the ROTK and school kids are so sad that "it spoiled the whole movie for me"

                    Oh yeah, for a book that has been out in sweden for nearly 50 year

                    Some stupid kids almost seems to regard the original books as some kind of gigantic spoiler for the "grovvy" movies

                      Stupid kids? People on MURC!

                      I seem to recall more than one MURCer whining loudly when we started discussing things from ROTK a couple months back.

                        I read that the Sarumon scene was cut because it didn't flow with the rest of the movie, since the Scouring of the Shire could not be put into the movie (time restrictions).

                        Of course, since the scourinjg of the shire was left out, Saruman died at Isengard by impalement. So maybe it's not so bad they left it out... for now.
