It may not even happen...

[The Restless Shadow]

When GDT was asked about the second movie at a film festival, his response was--

"We believe there is a second movie, if there isn’t, there will not be. If we find it, we will shoot it, but by God, if we do not find it, we will not shoot it. I am anxious to shoot the book, and I’m willing and able to dedicate myself to shooting the second film."


While obviously a little "but there HAS to be one!!!"
I'm also very relived, that they aren't gonna make it whether it fit's in or not, but only if they have the actual story to use and go by.

uh ohh

[The Restless Shadow]

But Faramir, keep in mind (like I had to)
Would you rather them make a shotty movie just for the sake or getting a second one?

But now that we have PJ in charge of things like it was always meant to be, Faramir and Shadow need not worry anymore. ;D
