Sorry, but The Two Towers in The Lord of the Rings Aren’t the Ones You Think

Sometimes, movie titles can deceive us. There are many reasons why this may happen, but most times it's just about narrative needs, especially if the movie is an adaptation of another work. That's the case in The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers, although the movie makes pretty clear what exactly its two titular towers are. As Saruman (Christopher Lee) himself says, they are his tower in Isengard, Orthanc, and Sauron's tower in Mordor, Barad-dΓ»r. Despite his striking speech declaring "the union of the two towers," however, those are not the two towers author J.R.R. Tolkien originally chose.
