Gandalf and the witch king
I dont know what happenes in Rotk just started reading it. I was watching the trailer that leaked out the other day and when i saw the witch kind land in front Gandalf i got the ill feeling that pj might have gandalf kill the witch kind instead of Eowyn and merry. so some please indulge me that gandalf doesnt kill the witch king.

Well, regardless of how they do it, Merry doesn't have the right sword so it is going to have to be at least a little different.
But do remember that Gandalf DID confront the Witch-King in the books- only the arrival of the Rohirrim meant the Witch-King moved off to handle that.

Yeah, it is kind of weird. I think they'll give it to Eowyn though, considering how they seem to be bringing out the female roles more for equality. I mean, look at what they did with Arwen, and she doesn't even come in until ROTK! I don't think they'd pass up this chance to bring a female character into the spotlight in a male dominated storyline, especially when it already fits into the story.

Yeah, I know. I originally heard they were moving it to May though, so I'm glad it's still in December. Personally, I don't like the exagerration of the female characters...I'd rather they stayed truer to the story, but oh well.

i feel the same way as you do cptjacksparrow, not to be mean or nething. i just like to see movies that arent way over exaperrated from where they origianlly were created after. a few exagerrations is ok, but a lot, well im not so sure. as i said i like movies that stick to the original thing with a few different parts.

I think Merry and Eowyn will kill him because Dominic said somthing about having a broken arm in the third movie so I think that's bacause he stabbed the witch king.

Well I don t know... I think that pj f***** up everything......I mean helm s deep is not the most important thing in TTT but it takes a big piece in film...not to mention that pj actually didnt turn whole TTT...so that means that he will be force to change act...i don t like that...you can t in three hours put a third part of trilogy (which is biggest of them all,not biggest it has greater number of pages) and half of TTT...no way...something has got to go out......
I don t think that ll be the scene with merry and Eowyn...maybe it should be arrival to shire in the end of the book? I“ve never liked that ending...

well i think merry and eowyn will still take out the witchking even though the confrontation between gandalf and the witchking is deifferent (judging from the preview). but merry's sword may not have come from the barrow but it probably still is a blade from arnor since aragorn gave it to him (assuming aragorn retreived the blade from amon hen and returns it to merry).

Errr that isn't the Witch King in the Trailer. The Witch King is gonna be in full armour with his black crown 
Remember all these reports of people saying they saw Sauron in a ROTK trailer and he is holding a mace surrounded by EIGHT Nazgul. Well guess what, it isn't Sauron, it's the Witch King in his armour. Go look at the toy if you don't believe me

Maybe he's going to make Pippin use Eowyn's sword!! I hope he doesn't change that toooo much! It is their scene....perhaps for practical reasons it will be altered a little

in the books, i don't ever remember gandalf facing off the witch king. it's odd that he's referred as to the witch king because witches are females. but the name fits anyways.
