Barnald 377 Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 I'm not convinced it's going to be in the EE. It would make sense to have more Beorn at the beginning if they're going to be expanding his role at the end, but I'm not sure how they're going to work it back in as things stand.

Incanus 5,732 Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 That looks like something that should have gone into DoS and Beorn's telling of his backstory as a some kind of flashback rather in BotFA. I can't imagine where they could introduce a scene where Beorn is tortured in Dol Guldur in the final film. There doesn't seem to be a logical place for it in there without it feeling very tacked on.If it were to happen during the events of BotFA it would mean that at some point we have to see Beorn getting caught while trying to save Gandalf, then being tortured, then being released and then heading back to Rhosgobel with Gandalf and Radagast.

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 They should just put his scenes anywhere! It doesn't matter anymore! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gkgyver 1,646 Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 Don't forget that Radagast and Beorn are flying in on the eagles together. How on earth would they know each other in the movie universe? Seems to me that Radagast, while carrying Gandalf out of Dol Guldur, is spotting Beorn as well, and rescuing him. Beorn could easily be removed from the current version, and Rosgobel, via CGI, and don't forget the staff issue with Gandalf. I reckon that the Dol Guldur aftermath at Rosgobel will be quite expanded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Incanus 5,732 Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 But how will Beorn end up captured in Dol Guldur when there is indication he was ever going there in DoS? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faleel 5,447 Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 Perhaps Beorn goes to Dol Guldur and has a flashback there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gkgyver 1,646 Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 Maybe he simply gets captured?I recognize that it's not really feasible that he would get captured with his enormous strength, but that isn't feasible in Dol Guldur either, when the fortress has emptied its armies.

Barnald 377 Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 I don't think it necessarily explains the Radagast theme being abandoned (as far as I can tell, it was the motif that some dubbed 'Shadow over Mirkwood'). That could have been intended to score part of the Rhosgobel sequence for all we know. It's obvious he's going to have more screen time in the EE in any case, there's some very apparent odd ADR in that Rhosgobel scene in the TC.

crumbs 14,379 Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 Wow, that's crazy. I remember him saying he had to tone back the cut quite significantly because a few frames and a few orc decapitations can still push you over the edge and into R rating territory.Gobsmacked to see them actually push ahead for the EE. Something positive to salvage from that trainwreck, I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barnald 377 Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 Yeah here's that quote:What would you have done if you had the R rating?Oh all sorts of great things. I will tell you what, you wait for the extended cut of this film. There are a few Orc killings that we actually got knocked back. Because when we submitted this to the MPAA we got an R. So what you’re seeing is the result of heavy editing to even just get the PG-13. But there will be a little bit of Orc killing to be seen in the extended cuthttp://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2014/12/04/no-regrets-peter-jackson-says-goodbye-to-middle-earth.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crumbs 14,379 Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 Gotta be Beorn stuff then, I'm guessing. Do we know if they've reinstated his scenes at Dol Goldur? Based on the music and editing of his (currently) only appearance, it'd be a little out of place to see extra scenes of him there.EDIT: Watching this, seems pretty obvious to me that we'll see the blade actually pierce Fili's chest and blood on Azog's sword afterwards. It definitely plays out in a very "censored for children" way in the theatrical cut, with a particularly noticeable edit at 0:38: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gkgyver 1,646 Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 So, they "even just got" the PG 13 rating? BOTFA doesn't strike me as a violent film. Did standards change? In Fellowship, in Balin's Tomb, Aragorn beheads a goblin, after which blood is springing from his neck like a fountain. Didn't seem to bother anyone back then.

Barnald 377 Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 At this point I'm honestly wondering if they're holding stuff back for the super box set, what between this and Jackson's promise of 20-25 minutes restored to AUJ, and the number of deleted scenes from DoS we know to exist (the journey through Dale, the introduction to Thranduil, the Palantir scene).

Barnald 377 Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 Well let's just hope he's put back in the absolute necessary shit: more Dol Guldur, more inside Erebor pre-battle, the Beorn/Radagast arc, the Bilbo and Bofur scene, something involving Thrain and breaking the news of Thorin, more battle (particularly the resolution and Beorn), more ending (funeral, farewells, Dain's coronation, the journey home). Am I missing anything? We certainly don't need more Alfrid, Legolas and Tauriel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
