RotK Info (Book and Possible Movie Spoilers)
Mr. Underhill

Howdy folks, check out this article over at The One Ring.Net

It has some rather interesting news. The original was in Italian and this is only a translation, but some of this stuff is a little disturbing, while some is reasurring. First of all, the reassuring, it states that although the Scouring of the Shire is cut Sauron,
(but I'm assuming they really mean Saruman) meets the same end by the same hand, just in a different scenario. Good news.

Now the Bad news. First of all it states that 3 of the main characters get married. Now I count Five in the books, Aragorn/Arwen, Faramir/Eowyn/ and Sam to Rosie who's not really a main character. Is the Faramir/Eowyn sequence going to be cut? Or perhaps they simply mean that there will be 3 weddings. Now the really bad news. It states that 4 main characters will die.
Now I'm thinking "Gollum yes, Theoden, yes, Denethor... who else?" I've got a bad feeling about this... We might just get a surprise death scene. I don't really think that they're counting Saruman & Wormtongue because that would be 5. This is confusing... Can't wait to see it all unfold though.

Underhill... my name's Underhill
