Yet another cut scene from LOTR?

[DáinIronfoot]

Found this freaky picture online:



I guess that's Frodo before he showers.

Have you not watched the Extended Edition special features?

This is old news. Get with the program.

[DáinIronfoot]

Yes, but I musta missed that one somehow. Maybe I stepped out of the room for a drink or something.

So that's on the DVD? Drat. Here I thought I'd found something really interesting.

[sickofpalantirs]

so what is it supposed to be?

[DáinIronfoot]

Apparently, Faramir has a dreamy flashforward to what Frodo would be like should be fall to The Ring's seduction as Sméagol did. Parts of this were actually filmed, as shown by that image below and also production shots here and here. I've heard of Sauron vs. Aragorn, goblins in Lothlórien, the meeting of Elrond/Arwen and Celeborn/Galadriel, Arwen at Helm's Deep and other such stuff, but somehow never heard of this cut scene until now.

Freaky pics, if nothing else. Oh, and wonderful DC material for my future Reflections-style set....

[macheteman]

yeah, extended edition extra stuff.

[sickofpalantirs]

yeah, I've heard of all those but the 4 elves meeting and this frodo one...

[DáinIronfoot]

The four elves one...apparently they filmed scenes of Elrond and Arwen traveling to Lothlórien and meeting with Celeborn and Galadriel as part of The Two Towers. Arwen looks into the Mirror of Galadriel while there and sees Aragorn fighting (and being killed by) Sauron at the Black Gate (which itself was a scene semi-cut from Return of the King). Elrond consults with Celeborn and Galadriel about what the Elves should do and then resolves to send Elves to Helm's Deep. Would have been pretty cool to see, even if none of it appears in the books.

I have also seen strange things:
A Trailer where Arwen and Eowyn are in Aglarond (Eowyn is hidden, because Uruks are coming)
Aragorn is followed by an Troll in the forest
Pictures about Arwen and Galadriel in Lothlorien (no scene...but I love this picture!)

In the cinema, I saw an Isengard orc talking to Saruman, who had a sign on his face that looks like an.... umbrellla.
He never appeared on any version I watched after.

If you look at Border Defense and Rumil, Silvan Elf, these scenes are not in the film, their are from the cuts of the goblins killed on the borders of Lothlorien

  Curse their foul feet too!

Here are pictures:

Aragorn is followed by an Troll in the forest

I would LOVE to see that, indeed.

[sickofpalantirs]

thanks though,

I dunno if this one's old news or not, but apparently, in RotK, they were originally going to have the Corruption of Sauron rather than the Corruption of Smeagol/Gollum as the little prologue bit. I saw somewhere a pic of what Sauron was supposed to look like before he goes bad, and it was pretty awesome. Wish I could find that again.... I think maybe I have it on my other computer at home. Will have to check for that.

I thought he was supposed to come out at the Black Gate looking like some angel/elf/god thing and then morph
into the demon/monster/evil  Sauron and fight Aragorn. I believe the reused some of that for when Aragorn fights the huge troll right before The Ring gets destroyed. Sauron's Might has a picture of Sauron taken from the deleted Black Gates scene pasted over a picture of frightened looking Elves and Men from the prologue in FotR.
