But his publishers were wary of the high price of paper in post-war England and thought that readers would balk at the sight of a thousand-page tome , so they mandated that it be split into three parts with two sections each.

This meant that Tolkien had to come up with names for the three parts. The second book in the trilogy, containing sections III and IV of the 6-section epic, proved to be a challenge. Section IV leapt back in time a week to pick up with Frodo and Sam and then continued for over two weeks of time.

At no point did these these two sections intersect. Eventually Tolkien settled on The Fellowship of the Ring , The Two Towers , and The Return of the King , so that the titles of all three books could be included in the first printing of The Fellowship to entice the satisfied reader.

Then, he wrote that he was attempting to decide on specific towers, but was waffling between three different options. I wish I could tell you it was any of these, but unfortunately, a month after that, Tolkien settled on none of those combos.

After the battle of Helm's Deep, Gandalf and the others ride up on horseback and gaze towards Mordor, and now know inevitable things have been set in motion.

As Gandalf puts it, " The battle for Helm's Deep is over. The battle for Middle-earth is about to begin. Feeling betrayed by Frodo when he delivered him into the hands of Faramir's men, Gollum's darker self re-emerges and he decides to reclaim the ring by secretly leading Frodo and Sam to a creature he refers to only as "her", which Gollum's lighter self reluctantly agrees to and leads the hobbits on through the woods as Mordor is seen in the distance. Two important events from Tolkien's The Two Towers did not make it into the film, but were held over for the next one:.

His movements and facial expressions were modelled on the actor who provided his voice, Andy Serkis. Only glimpsed in the first film, Gollum here becomes a pivotal character with the potential to change the fate of the story; he wrestles with inner demons and becomes a source of friction in Sam and Frodo's previously unshakeable friendship. The DVD was a 2-disc set with extras on the second disc.

This was intended to be a simultaneous worldwide release, but some British stores began selling the videos on Friday 22 because it was a Bank Holiday weekend, much to the ire of the film's UK distributor, which has threatened to withhold advance supplies of subsequent video releases. An extended version of the movie including 45 minutes additional material was released on DVD on November 18, with a total of minutes 3 hours, 40 minutes.

One of the additional scenes features Sean Bean and John Noble, who do not appear in the theatrical version, in a flashback in which brothers Boromir and Faramir are seen together with their father Denethor. This is available on a 4-disc DVD set, with the movie on discs 1 and 2 including four audio commentaries by the crew and actors, and extensive documentaries and bonus material on discs 3 and 4, entitled " The Journey Continues " and " The Battle for Middle-earth Begins ".

In December, there were also limited back-to-back theatrical releases of the extended versions of The Fellowship of the Ring and The Two Towers followed by premieres of The Return of the King , 10 hours and 30 minutes long in total. Five of the characters in the film are presented somewhat differently than their counterparts in the book:. In the film, he opts to avoid open confrontation, and treats Helm's Deep as a shelter for the civilian population of Rohan.

Only the ensuing orc siege forces him into battle. The King's sense of self-doubt is greatly magnified in the film, in order to provide him with a character arc, as was done with Faramir.
