Oh, shit! Oh, shit! Oh, shit! Saruman’s speech on top of Orthanc down to Gandalf and his companions! The Mouth of Sauron!!! Holy shit, the Mouth of Sauron… shot most with close ups of the grotesque, horrifying mouth… wet, slimy… with long, pointed teeth… as the dude reveals Frodo’s mithril shirt to Aragorn… Aragorn’s challenge to the Sauron via the Palantir gave me goosebumps… Aragorn healing Eowyn…
The footage shown was all of that and more. They brought a 4 minute preview which had most of that above and showed 3 full clips. One was Faramir and Eowyn’s first tender moment in the houses of healing, where he consoles her saying that the darkness that weighs heavy on her heart will lift. They also showed a scene that I saw being filmed during the pick-ups last summer with Faramir talking to Pippin and we find out that the Gondor armor Pip has was Faramir’s boyhood armor, though Faramir doesn’t think it fits the hobbit quite right.
Pip says, “I’m not going to grow anymore, except sideways.”
The other bit was an extended scene from the Paths of the Dead. In this cut Aragorn’s “What say you!?!?” shout doesn’t end there… The Dead don’t accept and disappear… all of a sudden Legolas, Gimli and Aragorn are being showered with an avalanche of skulls. They fight against the growing tide and barely make it out of that chamber.
That’s what they showed… more quick bits from the 4 minute preview include Eowyn getting beat-up upon by Gothmog, Denethor being more of a bastard to Faramir, Merry’s pledge to Theoden, Grima getting smacked by Saruman… Gandalf being caught in a fireball from Saruman’s staff… and the ending one… the coolest one… Gandalf being stopped by the Nazgul on the Fell Beast when riding up to save Faramir from burning to death… The ugly brute steadily approaches the wizard and taunts him… The then raises his sword to the sky and it erupts in flame. Gandalf is about to get F’ed in the A.
