<A HREF="http://comingsoon.net/news.php?id=253" TARGET=_blank>New stuff</A> from OneRing.<P>Most of it is pretty old news, but I especially like this quote.<P> <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> Ian McKellen, who plays Gandalf, says the scene where Sam (Sean Astin) kisses Frodo's (Elijah Wood) forehead after he saves him from Shelob's lair is likely to make it to the big screen.<BR> <HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>Better bring lots of Kleenex.<P>And <A HREF="http://www.theonering.net/perl/newsview/2/1055387875" TARGET=_blank>this</A> which, as mentioned at the link, needs to be taken with several heepings of salt but it puts Aragorn, Arwen and Elrond together in a tent on the road back from Isengard.<P>Although the nature of the post does make me suspicious of this particular "extra", what he says does make some degree of sense. Many of us are guessing Arwen brings Anduril to Aragorn and a different report puts Elrond there. Combining this into one meeting makes sense or else it becomes a pretty busy night.<P>1. Pippin/Gandalf/Palantir incident.<BR>2. Arwen delivers sword.<BR>3. Elrond shows up chasing Arwen.<P>I would still strongly suspect that Elrond and Arwen would leave for Lothlorien after this scene.<P>H.C.
