Unresolved Fate: The Mystery of Haleth in The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers
In 2002, “The Two Towers,” a movie adaptation of J.R.R. Tolkien’s second book with the same title from 1954, was released. This film continues the storyline introduced in “The Fellowship of the Ring.” Notably, it introduced the popular and tricky character, Gollum, voiced by Andy Serkis. Unlike its predecessor, this movie splits its narrative into three distinct stories as the group embarks on a mission to Mordor with the aim of destroying the ring forever. Acclaimed for its stunning cinematography filmed across New Zealand, along with its action scenes and musical score, “The Two Towers” was a global success, earning over $936 million worldwide, placing it third in terms of all-time box office gross, surpassed only by “Titanic” and “Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone.
