I was kinda bored on the weekend and so watched the second disk the comes with the theatrical FoTR DVD again. There are some shots in the Two Towers preview that are not in the film that may be in the extended edition.<P>Shot of Elrond saying, "If we do not trust in the strength of Men, then we trust in the victory of Sauron."<P>Shot of an orc in a brightly lit cave. The shot pans and hiding behind a stalagmite is Eowyn clutching a sword. This seems most likely to be in the Crystal Caves behind Helm's Deep. It seems likely that some of the orcs would have made their way there after the Deeping Well wall was breached but likely all this stuff ended up on the cutting room floor. How bright the cave is is a bit surprising, but perhaps this is the way it was filmed and the light level will be turned down digitally.<P>We have to be a bit careful because many scenes are shot and never used of course. In the trailers on the same disk there are shots of arrows being shot at persuing orcs in Lothlorien, but this obviously never made either editions of the film.<P>H.C.
