I believe that RotK will start with a flashback to Deagol's initial discovery of the Ring and his murder by Smeagol. Not long after that, we will see Gollum lead Frodo and Sam into what he hopes will be a gruesome death for them.<P>Doesn't seem to me like they'll be playing the "sympathy for Gollum" card too much in this film. I think that they wanted people to think that he might be capable of redemption in TTT, but he's gone past that point in RotK.
