Well, at least that won't be in the movie. The first trailer I saw about it
began with a big ring flying on the screen and in which appeared with some
lighting the famous quote, in Tengwar. Not that I could see that long enough to
check whether it was correct or not (not that I'm enough of an expert to do
that anyway :))) ).

Well, I'm no Tolkien geek, but I'm really looking forward to watch the movie.
And afterwards, I'll go read the book again (I forgot most about it. Can you
believe that when I read it, I didn't even realise there were constructed
languages in it? :))) To my defense, the version I read lacked the addenda
altogether).

I'm still wondering whether I'm gonna reread the three books at once or wait
for each movie before reading the corresponding book... (anyway, first I have
to find a suitable edition of it in English)

Take your life as a movie: do not let anybody else play the leading role.
