What's this I'm reading?
Peter Jackson has cut out Christopher Lee's scenes from Return of the King.

Guess this means they'll appear in the extended dvd :rolleyes:

For those few who don't know

Tom Bombadil:
Hey dol! merry dol! ring a dong dillo!
Ring a dong! hop along! fal lal the willow!
Tom Bom, jolly Tom, Tom Bombadillo!

Hey! Come merry dol! derry dol! My darling!
Light goes the weather-wind and the feathered starling.
Down along under Hill, shining in the sunlight,
Waiting on the doorstep for the cold starlight,
There my pretty lady is, River-woman's daughter,
Slender as the willow-wand, clearer than the water.
Old Tom Bombadil water-lilies bringing
Comes hopping home again. Can you hear him singing?
Hey! Come merry dol! derry dol! and merry-o,
Goldberry, Goldberry, merry yellow berry-o!
Poor old Willow-man, you tuck your roots away!
Tom's in a hurry now. Evening will follow day.
Tom's going home home again water-lilies bringing.
Hey! come derry dol! Can you hear me singing?

Hop along, my little friends, up the Withywindle!
Tom's going on ahead candles for to kindle.
Down west sinks the Sun: soon you will be groping.
When the night-shadows fall, then the door will open,
Out of the window-panes light will twinkle yellow.
Fear no alder black! Heed no hoary willow!
Fear neither root nor bough! Tom goes on before you.
Hey now! merry dol! We'll be waiting for you!

Hey! Come derry dol! Hop along, my hearties!
Hobbits! Ponies all! We are fond of parties.
Now let the fun begin! Let us sing together!

Goldberry:
Now let the song begin! Let us sing together
Of sun, stars, moon and mist, rain and cloudy weather,
Light on the budding leaf, dew on the feather,
Wind on the open hill, bells on the heather,
Reads by the shady pool, lilies on the water:
Old Tom Bombadil and the River-daughter!

Tom Bombadil:
O slender as a willow-wand! O clearer than clear water!
O reed by the living pool! Fair river-daughter!
O spring-time and summer-time, and spring again after!
O wind on the waterfall, and the leaves' laughter!

Old Tom Bombadil is a merry fellow;
Bright blue his jacket is, and his boots are yellow.

Well they cut the Saruman scenes out of the film. Given that these were scenes dreamt up by Peter Jackson and not in the book in any form whatsoever, I can't say I'm sad to see them go. There was too much guff he added into the Two Towers that wasn't in the book too, none of which I really enjoyed.
Anyway, it will be on the extended DVD version.

He had to cut down the film from 4 hours to 3 hours 10 mins to please the distributors. No film these days will be 4 hours, just not commercially viable to lose out on that many screenings a day.

At least we get the complete versions later on.

I'm sure it will be great. It has already over reached every expectation I had of it.

However, King Kong? Don't do it!

ffs they need those scenes to end the film, the disapperance of Wormtongue and Saruman are a vital part of the plot. Why? Because it is part of the lead-in story to Frodo's recovery and the Elves leaving Middle Earth.

Spoiler?

In all honesty, anyone who liked LoTR should have read the books by now.

Peter Jackson has no right to change the plot. Sure he can cut out the annoying crap like that singing freak in the forest, but something like this totally rewrites the plot.

J.R. Tolkien > Peter Jackson.
