In the book Frodo does not show the ring to the Nazgûl. And if RotK the movie has inconsistencies with TTT the movie because of that, it goes as another reason why it was inadvisable to deviate that way in TTT. But I'd rather have that continuity error between the two movies than him making even more changes just to keep up with previous ones.That said, about Pippin possibly having the Ring: <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> Pippin: "But he said 'Wait a moment! We shall meet again soon. Tell Saruman that this dainty is not for him. I will send for it at once. Do you understand? Say just that.'" <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>Later when Aragorn shows himself to Sauron in the Palantír, it makes Sauron suspect that Aragorn may have the Ring, but as Gandalf says, "He is not yet sure". So that does necessarily rule out the possiblity that at the time Pippin looked into the Palantír, Sauron suspected that Saruman had found the Ring-bearer. "Dainty" and "It" could refer to Pippin himself, as something to torment information out of, but it seemed to me that Sauron was speaking of the Ring, hoping that Pippin did have it.I would be surprised to see the Dunédain, simply because there hasn't been any indication so far that they will be in the movie at all, and rumors of their demise have been circulating since last year, at least.Edit: Well, HC posted before me, so I wasted my time saying all that.
