![]() One other highlight of the Two Towers was the aforementioned Gollum, a character that would catapult English actor Andy Serkis to global fame (and would also typecast him into motion-capture roles.) Serkis wore a tight suit for the films and gave the character his expressions and movements. And indeed, the Battle of Helm’s Deep is renowned as one of the best battle sequences ever committed to film. The Lord of the Rings has been noted for its visual effects. Minas Morgul does not appear in the film and was saved for The Return of the King. In the books, the Two Towers were Orthanc and Minas Morgul. The Two Towers in the film title alluded to the tower of Orthanc, the one at Isengard and the other at Barad-dûr. ![]() ![]() Much of the cast returned, with a few additions that include: Miranda Otto as Éowyn, a noble lady who desires to ride horses like the men and wants to be a warrior Bernard Hill as Rohan’s King Théoden and Éowyn’s uncle Karl Urban as Éomer, the horselord warrior and nephew of Théoden and David Wenham as Faramir. The final group escapes the Orcs and disappears into the Fangorn forest, and it is there they meet Treebeard and convince him to assault Isengard. While Aragorn’s group fights with King Théoden at the Helm’s Deep, Frodo and Sam have to face first Gollum (who is then tamed and even becomes friendly for a while) and then Boromir’s younger brother, who is suspicious of them and wants them and the One Ring to be delivered to his father to please him. These groups stay separated until the end of the film and have their own arcs. Merry and Pippin make up the last group who escape the Orcs and end up with the Ents. Then there are Legolas, Gimli and Aragorn, who are chasing the Orcs to rescue Merry and Pippin. Frodo and Sam continue the journey to Mordor. The said fellowship was divided into three groups due to harrying by Orcs and Uruk-hai. It picks up after the events of The Fellowship of the Ring. There is far more politics, pseudo-medieval English kind. The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers has a darker tone than the more adventurous Fellowship of the Ring. Filming is to start in early 2009.Jackson and his team - Fran Walsh, Philippa Boyens and Stephen Sinclair - ultimately decided to make the Battle of Helm’s Deep the climax of the film, with the destruction of Isengard by the Ents (shepherds of trees that themselves have a very tree-like appearance) serving as another culmination of the film as that event ended the threat of Saruman, one of the major antagonists of the entire trilogy. Phillipa will once again work with Peter Jackson and Fran Walsh, this time on The Hobbit, and another Lord of the Rings prequel. She also has two children, Phoebe Gittins, a daughter, and Calum Gittins, a son who starred as Haleth in The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers. Prior to turning to screenwriting with The Lord of the Rings, Boyens was a playwright. Following that movie's completion, the trio will once again work together on an adaptation of Alice Sebold's novel The Lovely Bones, which is expected to be released in 2009. Boyens worked with the same collaborators on the screenplay for Jackson's version of King Kong (2005). Following that movie's completion, t Philippa Boyens, MNZM, is an Academy Award winning New Zealand screenwriter who co-wrote the screenplay for Peter Jackson's film series The Lord of the Rings with Peter Jackson and Fran Walsh, for which the trio won an Oscar at the 76th Academy Awards in 2004.
