[Sauron the White]

When a film like this is made, there are many scenes which end up on the cutting room floor because of time. Even in the extended edition they could not put in everything they wanted to. It is a little known fact, but there were several minutes filmed before we see that war council being held. Here is a secret transcript:

Aragorn: Okay, everybody present and accounted for?

Gandalf: Everybody except Faramir the new Steward.

Gimli: Hrumph, hrumph, hrumph.

Legolas: last time I see him he was playing footsie with a fellow patient in the Houses of Healing.

much snickering ensues.

Eomer: Hey, thats my sister you are chuckling about. Chill out.

Aragorn: Thats fine (experiencing much relief since Faramir has taken the problematic Eowyn off his hands) but he is represented by this letter.

Aragorn then reads the note from Faramir:

Sorry I can't drop in to help plan the invasion of Mordor. I would normally not miss it for the world but am nursing some old athletic. Enjoy the throne room, feel free to use it any want you want. Oh - and maybe Gimli could fill my chair for me?
ps. Ale is in the ice chest.
==========================

So there we have it.

Perhaps that scene will be added to the super duper six hour 25th Anniversary edition of ROTK?
