Did nobody see my post or are you just that ignorant? Go watch TFOTR and watch the sequence with the mirror...

Ow, and the Scouring of the Shire *WAS* filmed but it was cut and isn't in the EE;

But the Mirror of Galadirel sequence from the first film, does show it.

That's not THE Scouring. That's A scouring. Specifically one carried out by Sauron after having won the War of the Ring. It also features footage of Samwise in chains, something that doesn't occur in Sharkey's Scouring.

In other words you'll have to do better than that to prove to me that the shot you've linked to wasn't filmed only for the scene with  the Mirror of Galadriel

EDIT : Took a look at the scene again. Although the rest of my point stands I have no idea if that is Samwise or not to be honest. It looks a bit like him but he's only on screen for a few seconds.

Lalalala, I'm not listening.
They did film the Scouring, they will release it eventually.
They will, seriously.
...they have to.

Towards the beginning of that clip, Saruman says "Something festers in the heart of Middle-Earth." But that scene is at the end, I believe, after the defeat of Saruon. Could he not be referring to the Shire?

That's just after Helm's Deep, when Theoden and company drop in on Isengard. I also wondered what Saruman was on about, and I can only assume he's referring to Denethor's descent... or he might just be speaking bollocks to try and mislead Grandorf... with Jackson's script monkeying, we may never know

MMMmmmmmmmmmmmmmm CG-licious

They did NOT film the scouring. The clip that was in Galadriel's mirror would have been a part of the scouring, should they have filmed it. However, that's the only bit of it they ever did film. I'm pretty sure Peter Jackson said so himself, somewhere.

a bit off topic...but

how much more is it with the Minas Tirith Model...anyone know?

[Liberator]

I enjoy physical modeling more than most, I'm gonna get an airbrush soon or later, but why would you put yourself through the torment of trying to build a model The White City.

[Grug]

hehe.

Well I'm pretty confident they didn't film the scouring of the shire.
They decided upon it early on because it wasn't part of the main story, and it was anti-climatic. Check the extra footage DVD's they say something about it in there I think.
And can you imagine trying to film a legitamite Hobbit battle?
It would be very difficult to portray it seriously...

BTW, did anyone know that Christopher Lee didn't show up to the premier of the theatrical version because it didn't include the showdown between Saruman and Gandalf...

As I said in an earlier post, the Scouring is anti-climatic, at least in cinema form, and there would be no real reason for Peter Jackson to film such a long sequence and then not put any of it in the film.  I do distinctly remember Jackson saying, either on one of the DVDs or in another interview online, that he never filmed the Scouring nor intended to.  What I think a lot of people need to remember is that the films are not the true story; they are Peter Jackson's interpretation of Tolkien's work, the true story.  Viewed in such a context, they are a masterpiece, even without the Scouring.
