We hear Gollum for the first time, in Moria: "My Precioussssssss...." Some people have claimed to see a silhouette of Gollum in the lower left corner of the screen, can you?
|
|
Jumps back to the Ringwraiths at the Ford of Bruinen.
|
|
Bilbo's Birthday Party. The Smaug Dragon Finale swoops down on Bilbo.
|
|
After closer inspection, it looks like Frodo is hanging onto his arm as they duck.
|
|
Notice the eye of Smaug?
|
|
The Firework starts to dissipate.
|
|
This is Gandalf being thrown up into the air in a 'battle' with Saruman in Orthanc. Notice Saruman in the white on the bottom middle of the shot.
|
|
Gandalf being forced to the top of Orthanc.
|
|
The light of Gandalf's staff temporarily holds the orcs at bay - right before the Balrog appears. They're surrounded by orcs, and are in a defensive huddle all facing outwards. From left to right: Gandalf, Boromir, Legolas, Gimli, Sam, Frodo, Pippin, Aragorn, Merry.
|
|
Aragorn appears to be drawing his sword from its scabbard as Frodo looks on. This is either at Amon Hen or at Weathertop before they make camp. Judging by the number of crash mats we saw at the set of Amon Hen, they do some battle scene there, so we know it departs from the book.
|
|
A continuation of the above scene. Ringer fan Gnosis suggests, "when Aragorn draws his sword in front of Frodo on Amon Hen, I think this is the crucial moment when Aragorn is recognizing his own lust for the ring (as hinted at by spies) and telling Frodo to 'Run!' has two meanings - leave the Fellowship and there are a hell of a lot of Orcs coming!" Sounds good to me!
|
|
The Last Alliance. Elves and Men take aim as the Dark Lord Sauron's army approaches.
|
|
Sam looks back in fear as the Nazgul get closer.
|
|
Boromir is the first to run to the end of the stairs - we look down on the top of his head as he almost falls into the lighted chasm below.
|
|
The torch he was carrying falls to the bridge.
|
|
Arwen and Frodo fleeing from the Nine, just before the Ford of Bruinen.
|
|
A close up of Arwen. The wounded Frodo sits before her on Asfaloth.
