Интервю с Били Бойд с потвърждение за сцена между Пипин и Фарамир. На мен най-много ми харесва последното изречение :
TVGO: Finally, an obligatory Lord of the Rings question. Can you spill any details about what's going to be on the extended-edition DVD that's due out in November?
Billy Boyd: Dominic [Monaghan, who played Merry] and I just finished recording our commentary for the extended edition and there's lots of extra stuff. A lot of my footage actually made it into the theatrical version, but there were a couple of scenes I'm glad are included in this cut. There's a scene with Pippin and Faramir that I feel helps explain their relationship. Fans will be very happy with the DVD. Some of the extra scenes they put on there are just fantastic.

Ето и едно интервю с П.Дж. от последното издание на LOTR Fan Club списанието. Говори познати неща за изрязаните сцени от "Гласът на Саруман". Освен това става дума и за прословутия box set:
Q: There have been rumors circulating that many LOTR cast members will return for additional filming next year for the DVD EE of ROTK. Is there any truth to that?
PJ: I read those rumors, too! There is no truth in it at all. It's very strange. Now that we have come to the end of the theatrical cut, I finally have a much better idea about what an extended cut of ROTK would be like. It's going to be good. I think it could well be the strongest of the three. We have had to make some quite tough decisions while we have been editing ROTK. One of the toughest decisions was the fact that we had shot the voice of Saruman sequence, which was interested to be at the end of TTT as in the book. They return to Isengard and confront Saruman in his tower. We shot that for TTT, but when it came time to put it in the film last year, we felt that pacing wise we couldn't play this out after we got through Helm's Deep, which felt like the climax of the film and the place to wrap the movie up. We felt it would be a good way to being ROTK, but when we looked at the film , and it had gone through several weeks, we just decided that going back and dealing with Saruman and Isengard was something that felt like it was wrapping up the last story. We wanted to use those valuable few minutes at the beginning of the film to establish the new story, which is obviously more centered on Sauron and Mordor and Minas Tirith. We decided not to include the Saruman scene at all in this film. That becomes a good thing for the DVD because Christopher Lee is great in it and Brad Dourif is great in it, and it is a perfectly good scene for what it needed to achieve, but we just felt we didn't need it in ROTK. That will be a great DVD scene. THere are several scenes like that, that we have obviously had to trim out, but they are going to be very, very good for the DVD. We have great material for the DVD. We have basically an hour of footage that we have had to trim out that we could put the majority of it back in an extended cut to enhance and deepen the storyline. There is absolutely no need for us to do more filming as that rumor suggest. I don't know where that rumor came from because normally rumors have some basis in fact, but that one is just plain wrong.
Q: Might you be filming anything new for a larger LOTR box set, say, the Tom Bombadil sequence that you have said you would love to go back and film?
PJ: That was an idea of mine that I don't know whether the studio would ever do because it would be very expensive. I think for the release of a box set they would want to do documentaries and various other things. I doubt whether they would want to go back and get all the actors together for more filming. I did say at one stage a while ago that it would be fun, once we finished and the dust had settled, to do another version of LOTR where we shot some more material that we inserted into various places in the film; the Bombadil scene would be an example, and there are other bits and pieces we could shoot. We could expand it out to an even longer duration for a box set. That is more of an ideas of mine that I think would be fun, but I doubt that the studio would actually embrace it as an idea because if you did that in a couple of years' time, it would just be an incredibly expensive thing to do.
Q: Do you intend to have a re-release of all three movies somewhere down the line?
PJ: I don't know. You don't really plan for that until it feels right. Whenever anyone talks about a box set on DVD and everything else, I think the legitimate time to do that is when the world of high-definition DVD arrives, which everybody is expecting at some point. It may be two or three or four years away that DVDs will become high definition so they will have beautiful pristine picture quality and clarity. Everybody will be able to buy the players at fairly cheap prices, and everyone's movies will get remastered in high definiton, I would imagine that what will happen with a box set is that you will probably wait until that day arrives when high definition is available, release a box set, and make it the debut of the high-definition version. That would seem like the common sense thing to me. That's not a studio idea, that's just what I think. I think high definition will be with us as DVD consumers in about two year.
И още нещо. Една снимка, която е наоколо от много отдавна, но чак сега ми изглежда абсолютно ясно, че това е Еовин. Искам да ви питам защо според вас Еомер плаче толкова безутешно над нея като тя си беше бая добре след боя с Witch King-a? Или може би не е Еовин? Или плаче за някой друг?

Imagine...!
