The Two Towers

The Plot Time grow ever darker for the beleaguered Fellowship. Tired, divided and in dangerous territory, their mission to destory the evil Ring of Power just gets more arduous. With Frodo (Elijah Wood) and Sam (Sean Astin) still on course for Mount Doom, Aragorn (Viggo Mortensen), Legolas (Orlando Bloom) and Gimli (John Rhys-Davies) must search for the other Hobbits, captured by the evil Uruk-Hai. Fortunately, there are friends to be found as well as foes, with new hope offered by the forces of man at Helm's Deep. But with the land of Middle-earth in turmoil, big battles are on the way...

The Shoot Pick-up shots (extra footage)and re-shoots continue in New Zealand. The bulk of the filming's complete, of course, thanks to Jackson's year-long-back-to-back shoot, but there are little bits and pieces to be finished. And the huge clashes promised for Towers will get a sonic boost courtesy of crowds watching test cricket matches, who were asked to supply roars and cries for the armies at Helm's Deep.

The Buzz Yes, Jackson's got a hell of a lot to live up to following Fellowship's success. But we reckon that despite the return of Star Wars , audiences will still have a special place in their hearts (and pockets) come December.
