Another name for TTT

[Jonathan]

I heard that after the September 11 attacks, some people thought that "The Two Towers" was a really bad name for the movie. Thank God Peter Jackson decided to keep the name, it would be unforgivable to make a movie of TTT and give it another name.
But I was wondering, IF the movie's name was changed, what would it's new name be? "Barad-dûr and Orthanc"? "The Fellowship of the Ring 2"? Any other suggestions?

Muaha! :D I cant stop thinking about a preview for 'Fellowship of the ring 2' a la big time action movie with explosions and a big booming voice. 'Fellowship of the ring 2:Frodos revenge!' or 'Attack of the Ents'....er sorry, i need to go back to bed.
:rolleyes:

Calling it Attack of the Ents would almost be as good as calling TTT! I would have laughed dooo hard! have you seen the article someone posted about Jar-Jaromir taking over Frodo's charecter? (i think it was Frodo atlest, it could have been Faramir I don't remeber) During the Mt. Doom scene, Jar-jaromir trips and knocks Gollum into Mt. Doom while he is wearing the ring! That one still has me laughing!:)

In a Christmas thankyou card, one of my friends accualy wrote, 'Did you get to see 'The Twin Towers' on opening day?' It was soooo funny! I laughed.

How 'bout: The Sequel to the First Lord of the Rings Movie.

I don't see why the title should've been changed just because of those towers...I mean, it's been over a year since then. It shouldn't effect media and such...

Hey we all know what the studio wanted to call these movies:

Ring Wars (A New Hope)
The Dark Lord Strikes Back (From his Two Towers)
Return of the Je..... uh.. I mean Return of the King....

oh and dont forget the optional titles of 9 Phantom Menaces and The Orc Wars

Man I was so pissed off at people when they started with the whole campaign to try and change the name of the movie over the attacks. Now, I say this as a native New Yorker and as someone who knew a number of people killed in the towers. I thought it was such bs when these lame people started this crap, I mean the damn book has been around for 50 years!!

Anyway, I am glad they didn't succomb to stupid people, plus I read an interview with PJ when this was going on and he was like, "While I understand the tradegy, there is no way I will change the name of this movie", lol, I thought that was pretty kickass on his part :D

[eowyngirl14]

or they could have called fotr: Frodo Baggins and the evil lord's ring

and TTT: Frodo Baggins and the tower of secrets

and rotk: Frodo Baggins is the prisoner of Cirith Ungol (thankyou Dúnedain):) :)

Thank you Dúnedain.... that was my next guess!

[Varda Oiolosseo]

People are already starting to protest about the next film being called Return of the King!

They say "How can he call it Return of the King when Elvis was the King and we know he's not coming back"
and another person said "as an Elvis fan, if they name the third film after the book title 'Return of the King' then I will deffinately protest!" :rolleyes:

[Wayfarer]

That was funny!

[Gwaimir Windgem]

Good Lord, that is utterly ridiculous. Pure pishtosh. I can't believe that people are so...dumb. :rolleyes:

True. It seems to me that people who haven't read Tolkien are the dumb ones, which is of course why we have so many intelligent people here*cough cough*:D

[Shadowfax]

Some people these days seem to complain about anything!:rolleyes:

I saw a star wars ezboard thread last weekend where some enlightened fanboy was whining that Jackson's LOTR3 title was a blatant rip-off of Return of the Jedi. :D :D

Ooh, Star Wars fan-boys are the worst. :D

[azalea]

How about Lord of the Rings Two: Electric Boogaloo? (You'll have to have been a teen during the breakdancing era to get that one:rolleyes: .)

Or Lord of the Rings Two: The Wrath of Sauron?

Or something REALLY cheesy like:
Lord of the Rings Two: Return to Middle Earth! *cue cheesy movie music*

Thinkin its a typo, but just in case, PJ doesnt have rights to the books, and I dont think he could EVER change the titles of the books, or anyone could :)
