I'm planning to recreate the scene from helms deep where theoden, aragorn etc ride out, and gandalf and Eomer come save the day.

I just re-watched the movie and noticed there's an extra person I hadn't noticed in the charge. I know there is theoden, aragorn, legolas, gamling and 4 x royal guard, but does anyone know who the other guy is on the white horse, blonde hair? They don't really give a good shot of him, but he's not dressed as a royal guard, but I would assume he is someone important riding with the king

Oh OK that's weird haha, I think the armour on the horse changes too, because I was trying to tell them apart. Sometimes it has armour on the head, sometimes it doesn't

Its a CGI sequence, they must have accidentally duplicated Legolas.

I love how in this pic Aragorn's all like "Yeah, go for it Theoden, I'll let you have this one..."

Hah, thanks for the heads up and info SD, I consider myself quite the geek on the film trilogy but I'd never noticed this, just had a look and it's so obvious when you know it's there!

Great stuff!

I was under the impression it was 'just an elf'. From a dodgy memory, I recall that it was originally supposed to have been Arwen :-o. She was scripted to be at Helms Deep but wisely PJ and Co decided against it but the riding out scene had been done; therefore she was CGI'd into a second blond Elf. I could (and probaly am) wrong but it does ring a bell.

cheers

Watched the scene again and it is indeed a 2nd Legolas,
you can't see him clearly, but he is recognizable.

Ha. I never noticed that before but just watched it and there he is. Does that mean that I can include legolas twice in my army now?

You are correct, I already posted this in my earlier posts.
