I believe that in one interview, PJ said something that he was not trying to do the exact book, but his interpretation of it. The movie was ment to be based in the book, not an exact copy.<P>I think that it is rather sad, think about how long tolkien toiled over writing LOTR, and then to have someone "improve it". I sure wouldn't like someone to do that to what I wrote!<P>Oh well, as I said before, I sure couldn't do it and something is better then nothing.
