And have you seen GDT's own Riddle in the Dark?
He
posted it on TORN 2 weeks ago to tease fans with the imminent announcement.
And the last GDT interview is so great, it makes me wanna purr!
Pearly, as for epic battle in Moria: for some reason it didn't even register on my radar when I was first reading the book. Moria was the ultimate suspence/horror story for me, a culmination of a pretty hair-raising ride from the very start of the book: Nazgûl, Old Forest, Barrow-Wights, Weathertop, Wargs, Watcher in the Water - and Moria still managed to beat them all.
It's a classic children horror story setup: dark, dark place with skeletons and bottomless wells and dark, dark creatures who touch you with their dark, dark hands and then oh vow pounce on you.
Kidding. But it was such a grand story: dark, mysterious, ancient place with lots of history and truly unknown dangers. I loved Gimli's poem and his reverence and longing for this place. And Balrog vs. Gandalf was the catharsis, finally meeting the hidden monster and horror face to face. Orcs vs. Fellowship just didn't have a chance in my eyes, after all of this.
But big kudos to PJ for filming the battle of Amon Hen live - one of the best scenes in FotR!
