96. The Wizard Duel and Orthanc in Real Time : Film Changes #29 and #30

Join our Discord Channel!

We’re back and looking at ALL the changes in Peter Jackson’s Lord of the Rings! This week we head over to Orthanc and the changes made to Gandalf’s visit to Saruman:

• Gandalf visiting Saruman isn’t just a flashback–and what about all those little changes made there?!
• Saruman and Gandalf throw down in a Wizard duel for the ages — Michael and Jonathan seriously DISAGREE on this one!

• What would wizarding power look like if Jackson hadn’t made it so physical.
• If Christopher Lee and Ian McKellen had switched roles, what would that have been like?
