HCIsland has just left Hobbiton.

I strongly suspect we will not be seeing a naked Frodo. I also suspect that them dressing as Orcs and marching with them won't be there either. In the book, regular Orcs come in all shapes and sizes, some being fairly small, so it works. In the movie, all the Orcs shown have been much bigger then Hobbits. I can't see how they can convincingly pull this off.<P>As well, although it works fine in the books, since then there has simply been too many movies that have pulled this trick (most notably The Wizard of Oz) and it's gotten pretty cliche. I think it will come across as too cheezy.<P>I think the elven cloaks are going to be their main source of staying under cover, hence why they had to establish them so bluntly in the scene where Sam falls over the ridge in front of the Black Gates in TTT.<P>H.C.
