: The script in question is the one written for Miramax, but it
: sounded very hopeful. I suggest you read it. This was the
: two-film version, so it doesn't necessarily reflect the
: three-film version now beginning production in New Zealand.May Peter Jackson forgive me for doing this, but I cannot stand idly by in silence any longer. I have it on what I consider to be good authority that substantial changes have been made to the script for the three-film version. The prologue, in particular, is supposed to have been completely thrown out and rewritten. You'll not find that anywhere but here, I might add, so don't bother going to look for confirmation. And, no, I don't know what the rewrite is about, although I have my suspicions (and I am afraid I shall not share them -- not yet -- I don't want to chase off any potential opportunities for future private exchanges). I am not on Jackson's payroll by any means, and do not have any real inside lines, but there is MUCH I have not told you folks. I think the audience is in for some real treats when they finally see these movies....
