Kalimac has just left Hobbiton.

Diamond - According to IMDB Sarah McLeod is in ROTK.<BR> <A HREF="http://us.imdb.com/Credits?0167260" TARGET=_blank>http://us.imdb.com/Credits?0167260</A> <P>I hope they got that right, anyway! After all that effort to get Rosie into the early Shire scenes it would seem a little pointless not to come through with a wedding at the end . And if it helps, I doubt they'll jump from the wedding to the Grey Havens right away - if nothing else, the fact that Alexandra Astin seems to have been about four when the movie was filmed shows that they'll have to let *some* time elapse for Frodo to become ill, etc. Unless, of course, hobbits gestate unusually fast...<P>Grima could still kill Saruman at the end of ROTK, though. TTT would seem more brutally efficient from a filmmaking point of view (get the loose end tied up that much sooner) but all they'd really have to change, now that I think about it, is to transfer Grima's attack from the Shire to the time when the remainder of the Fellowship encounters Saruman on the road and he begs some pipeweed off of Merry. "One thief deserves another" would be an interesting exit line. And of course, when Merry tells Grima "Why don't you leave him?" they could just have Wormtongue respond a little more...immediately.
