Yep, he deffinatley get’s impaled on that machine.
Remember: There’s not a final cut! Ian Mckellen could be basing it on what he was around to see or an early discussion with PJ. There’s hope, people! We’ll just have to wait and find out!
thats almost…….disappointing. i guess the way that he dies in the book would be a tad difficult to do in a movie, so i see why pj would change it. oh well, i still can’t wait to see RotK!!!!!! its going to be awesome!!!^_^
How’d he die in the book? Grr, I can’t remember.
Someone tell me!!!
In the ROTK book Saurman is supposed to be killed when he is in the Shire and is confronted by the hobbits (Frodo, Samwise, Merry and Pippin). Wormatoungue is driven mad by what Saurman was saying and he kills him with his knife.
I agree that it’s really disappointing. I mean, I thought that was one of the best parts.
isn’t there a picture of him impaled on a spike in the ROTK picture gallery?
I”m sorry… but that change in death will ruin it in my opinion…. it might have been hard to do as the book says it should be, but still… PJ could have kept it as close to the book as he could get… tha’s not too much to ask…. sheesh…
