Re: Welcome to the board! Hey...I never thought about that. The 'Tolkien virgins' as someone said, will want the book altered to fit the movie. Amyrlis, I think you've voiced most of our fears in that post. We all know that the movie will only be an interpretation of the book. However, for all non-tolkien readers that will be the interpretation that stays with them. Whereas all of us "know the evil and desperation Mordor", "have felt the weight of the ring" and "have heard the first mallorn leaf fall in Lorien". And thus, whatever the Peter Jackson version looks like, I still have my middle earth-the way I see it. Magnificently written by the way@Amirlys. Not all those who wander are lost.
