In letters to Rayner Unwin, Tolkien considered naming the two as Orthanc and Barad-dûr, Minas Tirith and Barad-dûr, or Orthanc and the Tower of Cirith Ungol. In other editions the Books are often untitled. The titles The Treason of Isengard and The Ring Goes East were used in the Millennium edition. Book Four was titled The Journey of the Ringbearers or The Ring Goes East. The proposed title for Book Three was The Treason of Isengard. Tolkien wrote: " The Two Towers gets as near as possible to finding a title to cover the widely divergent Books Three and Four and can be left ambiguous." At this stage he planned to title the individual books. The Two Towers covers Books Three and Four. However, the novel was originally published as three separate volumes, due to post-World War II paper shortages and size and price considerations. It's a shame that he isn't doing the hobbit (or halo) However visionary director of hellboy 1,2 and pans labrynth, Guillermo Del Torro will at least match jacksons work for sure.The Lord of the Rings is composed of six "books", aside from an introduction, a prologue and six appendices. The lord of the rings will always be Peter Jacksons legacy. From the start to the incredible battle at helms deep! In fact it grips you as if you were a falcons prey. The films incredibly long running time never feels dragged out. sorry they fight and what an amazing sequence that is. Gandalf and the balroc have a nice cup of tea and sort out there differences, no wait that's not right. The story picks up from the end of the 'fellowship' we see Aarogon, legolas and gimli on a search for merry and pippin, whilst frodo and samwise still march on towards mount doom. Lotr two towers movie#This is still amazing 6 years on, Peter Jackson is a genius!!! I emplor you all to see this again if you haven't in a while.Įxcellent scenery, non-pretenicious dialogue a cast listing from the movie dream team and enough attention to detail to make you feel like this is actually happening. This movie truly does justice to the books that inspired it. With the second chapter under our wings, we shall soon have the one of the greatest stories ever to be told in the greatest cinematic form that we could have ever hoped for. Never once did I think to myself."that person doesn't fit the part".Īn absolute masterpiece is at hand. Not a flawed character in the bunch, and that includes all CGI characters such as Treebeard & Gollum. The actors performance were truly brilliant. Unlike the beautiful greens and blues of Fellowship Of The Ring, The Two Towers draws from the many "dead" colors of the world, and throws our beloved characters into the mix. Even the imagery in the film is very dark and contrasted. A tone where there is not much hope and things seem to be teetering on the end edge of permanent despair. The Two Towers plays on a very darkened tone. Like Empire, The Two Towers has no beginning and has no end, but does a greater service to the characters we have been cheering for since the first film. To compare this "middle movie" with that of another great in the world of trilogies, like The Empire Strikes Back is to say many wonderful things, as Empire is hailed by many to be the greatest in the Star Wars saga. Any fan of the books as well of the first movie will be thoroughly engulfed by the story of The Two Towers. The Two Towers as a film was absolutely amazing.
