Woses

[Faramir]

So, who thinks that the Woses will be in ROTK? I honestly don't know, but I don't see the point of PJ putting in a new species that has such a small part.

[Huan the Hound]

I agree. I don't think that they will be a necessary part for the telling of the story on film, kinda like Tom Bombadil's situation. I almost missed them in the book so I won't miss them in the film.
I don't think PJ will have time for them either as so much is yet to happen in order to neatly tie up the story in RotK. :o

[Ithielnor]

Yeah I doubt they will be there though they might get a brief mention in the SEedition (if they make one). I didn't even know that there was such a thing until my Brother pointed them out to me.

[Iorlas]

I believe that the woses will be in the theatrical version. When it comes to time, PJ said he would make the movie as long as needed so that's not a factor.
Also at Imdb.com if you look at the Return of the King full cast list you'll see:
Wi Kuki Kaa .... Ghan-buri-Ghan
so since they have Ghan cast then they will probably have the woses.

aggg help me out i cant remember who the woses are. iv yet to read rotk since last year and im gettin a little rusty. time to hit the books.

[Faramir]

The woses are the people from some forest who help the Rohirrim sneak past Sauron's defences (that were set up around Gondor) and showed them a way into Gondor.

[Tar-Palantir]

Yep, the woses are in the book, Ghan-Buri-Ghan is in. I really can't see the picture of him living in a great forest all alone.

Good detective work Iorlas!

Well even though it will probably be a minor role in the film, I was sorta thinking the whole Ghan-buri-Ghan section might have been cut out of the adaption.

Of course it might not make the final cut of course. Probably end up in a deleted scene.

Anyway the actor playing Ghan is Wi Kuki Kaa. According to IMDB anyway. He's been involved in NZ theatre productions for many years.

Can't find a really decent picture of this guy.

He's the guy in the hat.
Anway I'll be interested to see what PJ does with his character.

[Tar-Ancalimë]

theres some speculation on whether or not they will be included here (http://www.warofthering.net/forums/vbulletin225/upload/showthread.php?s=&threadid=2250)

personally i dont think they will.... but it would be awesome, wouldnt it?

[Mirkgirl]

I liked a character a lot... love to see it... but its all up to PJ... and it'll prolly be cut off to let another elf scene in the movie pfbbt
