Wormtongue Dagger Photo
Robert

Our reader Pungolo sent me this pic, taken from the book The Lord of the Rings: The Making of the Movie Trilogy by Brian Sibley. You can see it here...

I'm not sure it wasn't published elsewhere, but it seems to me people don't talk about it as it deserves. It depicts Wormtongue with a dagger in his hand and a very furious look. Does it represents Grima a few seconds before killing Saruman, like occurs in the Tolkien books? This would mean that Saruman won't die impaled on the spiked wheel as some pictures suggested (unless Saruman falls on the spiked wheel to avoid fighting Grima, who knows?). But (if the picture really represents what we think) when it will happen? Our reader told me that Wormtongue is on the Orthanc's roof. This would mean that is probable that Saruman will die in The Two Towers and not in The Return of the King (even because the Making Of has almost only TTT pics, if I'm not wrong).
