*squeals in a rather uncharacteristic fashion*This is the first news I've gotten of it. This deserves to be posted in the thread (in case the link stops working ). <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> "I think the thing I am most excited about is the fleshing out and expansion of the Treebeard/Ent story. His story, more than any other single part of the film, was reduced for the theatrical version""Most of the Treebeard stuff is humorous, We have a great scene - which I would have loved to put in the theatrical version - where he recites really bad poetry to the Hobbits, who are desperately trying not to fall asleep because that would be rude and they don't want to be rude. In addition to the Treebeard material in that storyline, we also have a really funny sequence with Merry and Pippin and the Ent-draught, which is pretty much taken right from the book. There are a lot more surprises in that extra Fangorn material." <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>I hope it's not a burlesque kind of funny. I'm not so sure about what his idea of "taken right from the book" is... But I can't wait to find out. (And no Birdie, I had nothing to do with the poem. )
