Change of Title (TTT) - Science Fiction Fantasy Chronicles: forums

Neo · 14th January 2002, 12:14 AM

I have recently read in a national news paper that the producers were considering changing the name of the next Lord of the Rings movie from 'The Two Towers' to a yet unknown title due to the Sept 11th Terrorist Attck..

What do u think ?? should they ?

Erm, don't shoot me, but I don't really think they should. And I always think silly padding around subjects and being uber-sensitive does more harm than good. If they were to change it, they'd have to use... minas... The Two Minas? But hey, that don't sound as good

I think that if the original title was The Two Towers just as Tolkien wrote it, then no....

Legolas · 15th January 2002, 05:39 PM

They should leave it how it is i think - if you go around it it will be emphasised more for being changed wont it?

Arwen · 15th January 2002, 08:47 PM

yeah thats true

There's always the danger that if they change something as big as the title of the film, they might not think twice about changing other stuff that's kind of important. Where would they draw the line?

Jessa · 26th January 2002, 03:33 PM

i don't reckon they should. If J.R.R Tolkien didn't want the name 'The Two Towers' he wouldn't have put it in. They've already missed out and changed a lot of the film, i don't think they should change it n e more

FeedMeTV · 26th January 2002, 05:45 PM

I agree

yeah if they change it there will be more discussion on the topic than simply leaving it be ........

Neo · 26th January 2002, 09:42 PM

Leave it.....

Legolas · 27th January 2002, 05:40 PM

yup if we just keep trying to deny that september 11th never happened by changing everything it will turn out worse in the end

FeedMeTV · 2nd February 2002, 02:14 PM

any idea what they were going to change it to?

The LOTR books were writing far before the building of the WTC and should remain forever un changed by hollywood.:evil:
