Hello!
I’d like to say that I re-edited my old TTT Book-cut. BEcause the old one was in terrible shape and had ugly sound-sync
problems and… it just wasn’t good enough! So I went and did it ALL over again. It was fun anyways…
This is “Book 3: The Treason of Isengard” here are the re-furbished changes! Enjoy…
The beginning I like the most… it feels like an actual theatrical beginning. It’s the rest of the Amon Hen fight… that’s where Boromir dies and
the hobbits are taken. Aragorn comes to his aid and there’s the death scene dramatic dialogue exchange thing. Then after the rest of the FOTR
aragorn/legolas/gimli stuff… they run off to “The Two Towers”!
Notice that around 80% of the film is re-graded. It’s has alot more color to it… shown in this picture.
Now you can actually see all kinds of stuff that wasn’t that noticeable when it was desaturated.
After the company find out Merry and Pippin escaped to Fangorn, like in the book, we skew back to what happened to the hobbits
all this time. From the time Merry gets his ‘medicine’ to the part where Fangorn marches to Isengard… please note that I cut out alot of Entmoot
jokes and stuff. Trying to make it as short as possible.
We get back to the dwarf, elf, and not-yet-king as they look for the hobbits in fangorn. Then they meet spoiler Gandalf the White! I bet you never saw
that coming! And there we see the whole balrog fight… from the falling in the chasm to the Zirak-Zigil brawl.
Everything goes on without seeing any Frodo or Sam… until we cut from Gandalf Talking to Aragorn in the night (in the EE) to something that’s not really in the book at this point in time, but I needed to put it in for some backstory of the Rohan guys… It’s the scenes where Eomer finds Theodred and he gets banished and Wormtongue talks to Eowyn, ect. All the Rohan stuff… until the fellowship arrive. I took out the burial ceremony of Theodred… I’m sorry…
Everything goes in sequence (without cutting back to Isengard stuff or anything with Frodo). I took out the Warg attack… it’s not in the book.
It would have been cool to see the wargs in Helm’s Deep though! Why didn’t they do that!? So when Aragorn sees the Army… he’s just taking a stroll
around the area at Helm’s Deep and comes back.
Now… the Helm’s Deep stuff… NO ELVES! And the whole sequence is UNCUT! By the way… I couldn’t COMPLETELY elminate the Elves… some still exist in the background.
And yes, Legolas’s skateboard stunt is also taken out.
After the fight… there’s the guys traveling to Isengard to talk to Saruman. I added more color to that too… to make it look more real.
as you can see…
There’s more Rohan ROTK scenes until Gandalf rides with Pippin to Gondor… and we fade out with a voice-over of Gandalf saying “All our hopes now lie with two little hobbits… somewhere in the wilderness.”
and that’s pretty much the bulk of the things I edited on this version…
I’ll be talking about “Book 4: The Ring Goes East” later on.
