TheOneRing. net broke the news that Lawrence Makoare, who played the Uruk-hai Lurtz in The Fellowship of the Ring, will be seen in The Return of the King playing the Witchking of Angmar, Lord of the Dark Riders (Nazgúl). Makoare revealed the news during his time spent at last weekend's San Diego Comic Convention. [First appeared at TheOneRing.net.] (edited in because copy missed this)December 3, 2002... While speaking to The Mail newspaper in Britain about the upcoming release of The Two Towers, director Peter Jackson also spoke about the final installment in the Rings trilogy, The Return of the King. Jackson does confirm that we will see Sauron in full, citing that he needed to give Tolkien's legendary villain (who is never seen "on-camera" in the books) more of a screen presense in the film adaptation. "You can't reduce him to being a big guy striding around in black armour, but he cannot be limited to a flaming eye, either," Jackson elaborated.Also touched upon was Jackson's enthusiam for the battle sequences to be seen in Return of the King, which he believes are the biggest and most elaborate of the entire trilogy (yes, even surpassing The Two Towers battle at Helm's Deep); the introduction of Boromir's father, Denethor, the steward of Gondor and the introduction of the Mouth of Sauron; and the final scene of the movie (which takes place in the Grey Havens), and which turned out to be Jackson's favorite scene of the entire trilogy: "To me, it's a culmination of the entire story. It represents what it is to give and what it is to lose. That scene is probably the most powerful part of the entire film."I'm willing to bet the movie ends in a similiar fashion to the animated cartoon.Blatently stolen from:<a href="http://www.corona.bc.ca/films/details/lordoftherings3.html" target="_blank">http://www.corona.bc.ca/films/details/lordoftherings3.html</a></blockquote>
