Hopefully, when Peter Jackson and, more importantly, New Line Cinema see the number of signatures on this petition, the title will be changed to something a little more sensitive." The idea is both offensive and morally repugnant. 11 world, it is unforgivable that this should be allowed to happen. However, Peter Jackson has decided to tastelessly name the sequel 'The Two Towers.' The title is clearly meant to refer to the attacks on the World Trade Center. When I learned that there apparently was to be a sequel, I was overjoyed. "Those of us who have seen 'The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring' know what an amazing director Peter Jackson is.
The online petition is a satirical open letter to filmmaker Peter Jackson and distributor New Line Cinema, which reads in full: Klerck put the petition online after there was a minor groundswell of disapproval over the "Two Towers" title because it brings to mind the 9/11 tragedy, when the World Trade Center twin towers fell. Take, for example, Kevin Klerck's online petition: "Rename 'The Two Towers' to Something Less Offensive." In the movie industry, just like everywhere else, truth is stranger than fiction.
