I haven't seen any of the trailers, but I read somewhere that they were adding a female Elf to the company, because it was too much of a sausage-fest. Please, please, please tell me that it's not true. It was bad enough that PJ added elves to the Battle of Helm's Deep. Most Jacksonisms I can live with, but changing the fundamental makeup of the company by adding an entirely new character is just too much.

That would make sense. Gandalf disappears early on to deal with The Necromancer in Mirkwood. I'm sure PJ could turn that into an entire movie all its own.
Are they really adding an Elf to the company? (Score:0)

Captcha is "ranting". Am I, really?

Wouldn't surprise me. He's making 3 movies out of it. How much extraneous crap is Jackson cramming into the story in order to get 3 movies?
Also, I heard Legolas is in this. God.

Well the movies doesn't only deal with what happens in the book but also things that are mentioned briefly in passing.

By the look of things, PJ could turn Gandalf taking a dump into an entire movie all its own. "Hnnnn...you...shall...not...pass...hnnn".
