Enfin... je fait un c/c de la page : Fladnag. Message: from a post over at imladris.net "I've just spoken to a good friend of mine who worked on FOTR as a stunt man, and he had a lot to do with stunt co- ordination. Heres what he had to say on the film's 3 hour cut. -He told me he was extremely disappointed because 75% of all the stunts they did were cut(due to graphic content). Apparently, at least 3 mins of the Amon Hen battle was cut, including numerous decapitations, high falls and stabbings - Most of the violent shots cut out at Amon Hen involved Gimli and Legolas. - We only saw the opening and closing of Aragorn's battle against the 40 Uruks. The really violent stuff in the middle was cut. - A sequence of Gimili chopping heads in Moira was cut. - The most violent shots of Legolas' archery were cut, including a shot at Amon Hen where he pins two Uruks heads together with one arrow. - Wizards duel, slightly cut. But apparently the angles that were selected de-emphasised the graphic nature of the battle. Notice how Gandalf was bleeding more than was warranted? Apparently there are a lot more wide shots of the impacts. as well as more shots involving an actual staff fight,and not just spells. p.s that's Ian Mckellen spinning on the ground, not a stuntman. - In terms of drama, a lot of Gimili and Legolas' scenes were cut involving their developing friendship. As well as scenes between Gandalf and Aragorn. Also more bits of Boromir slowly cracking. - At least 30 mins total was cut from Rivendell and Lothlorien. Including the giving of the gifts. - 1-2mins of the prologue were cut. Most of the shots were of Gil Galad and Elendil annihilating orcs. But also cut were their 'alternate' death scenes. This is after a one on one battle with Sauron. My friend knows this because he was in this scene and had a single line of dialogue, responding to an order from Gil Galad. This indicates that there was dialogue and character interaction in the prologue. Also cut was a sequence of elf bowmen firing thousands of arrows at the charging orcs. - Finally, PJ's original 'final cut' was 4hrs.45mins - described as his Dream Cut. This was in turn cut under orders from New Line to a little under 4 hours. The rest of the stuff cut from this version, thus making the present 3 hour cut, was the above mentioned blood guts as well as more battle stuff and drama. The good money, I am told, is on PJ's 'dream version being released as an alternate dvd in the future. But more than likely not on the official dvd." I wouldn't doubt if some or most of this is true simply because I've heard the same discriptions from too many people (kinda like the Richard Gere & Hamster story )) " Ce message a été lu 5396 fois | ||
