**Mini-spoiler Warning Alert Thing**
Jarrickon Half-elven

Apologies to all those who the Article Title annoyed (including myself).

I was just at http://us.imdb.com/title/tt0167260/combined, as a result of a search for Return of the King related things, and I saw something at interested, amused, confused, and REALLY amused me: a cast list for the RotK.

Interested- Bruce Spence (whoever HE is) plays the Mouth of Sauron, so the Lieutenant of Barad-Dûr is definately in.

Amused- Sean Astin's daughter (I assume), Alexandra Astin, plays Elanor Gamgee.

Confused- Sala Baker is back as Sauron (he played him in Fellowship), so now I'm really not sure what to expect regarding Gorthaur. PJ has said in relatively recent interviews that in reference to the Lord of Mordor they're not going to do anything very removed from the book. Maybe Sauron just appears when Pippin and Aragorn look in the Palantír of Orthanc (Which is definately in, thank Eru). Heh, maybe Annatar can provide us with some info on this. OK, that was lame. . .

REALLY Amused- Ghân-buri-ghan is definately in the movie. He is played by an idividual named, get ready: Wi Kuki Kaa. Now, is it just me, or is that name incredibly hilarious? I'm very serious when I say this, "Wi Kuki Kaa and the Tectonic Púkel-Men" would be a GREAT name for a rock band. You could also use Woses instead of Púkel-Men.

This concludes an extremely strange, and highly uncharacteristic post. Thank you.

Namárië!
