But you're just one person. I doubt very much there is a widespread demand for such a thing. And if there was– well, then, how about a fan-edit? Film directors simply never do what you're suggesting. (A "director's cut" sometimes restores an original ending that was changed for the theatrical release– but that's not the same thing.)

Given how much unreleased material there still supposedly is from the films, both book based (Faramir and Éowyn's wedding, Gimli in Aglarond etc.) and bizarre (Faramir having some weird vision of a Gollum-Frodo corrupted by the Ring, http://images2.fanpop.com/images/pho...54-474-480.jpg - only click if you want to be motivated to claw out your own eyes) I'm almost surprised that PJ didn't at some point film a Sauron-victory. Perhaps Gandalf could have dreamed it after smoking a whole barrel of Pipe-weed or something equally misguided. But that would have meant less time in the entire sequence of films could have been devoted to Helm's Deep, so obviously that couldn't be an option.

I Sauron victory would have made me happier? Um... no.

The book has so many endings: The destruction of the Ring, the crowning and wedding of Aragorn, the battle for the Shire, the Grey Havens. Why not go the whole hog and have a narated tale with relevant images of the Fellowship as in Appendix B? ...
The death of Rose with Mayor Samwise passing the Red Book to Elanor and departing for the Havens. The death of Merry at Edoras, of Thain Peregrin in Minas Tirith. The death of Aragorn and the departure of Legolas with Gimli to the Havens. But we need not stop there because there's still: The handing down of the Red Book through the ages until it comes into the hands of a cryptographer and university professor. The book falls into the hands of cartoonists. Peter Jackson searches for the location of Middle Earth but fails to cast the cartoon influence into the Crack of Doom. The public come to the rescue and push him in before he can make another trilogy.

Well, that's the thing... to everybody else, I think, it just seems so... random.
