Project
W.I.N.K.L.E.
Staff Reporter
Introduction: by "freaqboy"
We as a community have spent much time arguing over the
actual changes in the storyline. The problem is, none of us have seen the script, so none
of us have a clear idea of what Jackson intends to do. Well, I have the answer.
Using the amazing imagination and ingenuity of the fine folks here at the Council, I'd
like to present to you:
THE PETER JACKSON'S LORD OF THE RINGS SCRIPT RECREATION AND CLARIFICATION ORGANIZATION,
otherwise known as OPERATION W.I.N.K.L.E.(for no reason other than it sounds funny.)
by "freaqboy":
Peter Jackson's
LORD of the THINGS
Part 1: A long-expected party.
The screen is DARK.
[from Moriarty's script review:]
FRODO (V.O.)
When we turn away from the darkness of
our past to take comfort in our peaceful
lives, we sometimes forget how dearly
that peace was bought. But there is
much worth remembering in the darkness...
BILBO lights a torch. reveals SLIPPERS.
BILBO
My slippers! There they are! I almost forgot them in the darkness!
BILBO switches off lights.
CUT to SECOND AGE, big battle. Lots of ELVES, lots of HUMANS, lots of ORCS. they FIGHT. It is EXCITING. A big scary guy hits his finger chopped off. ISILDUR picks it up with a RING on it, and there is much rejoicing. ORCS shoot him with arrows and the RING falls into nearby river. There is much angst.
