In the film, Faramir first decides that the Ring shall go to Gondor and his father Denethor, as a way to prove his worth. In the film, Faramir takes Frodo, Sam and the Ring to the Battle of Osgiliath—they do not go there in the book. After seeing how strongly the Ring affects Frodo during the Nazgûl attack, Faramir changes his mind and lets them go. These changes reshape the book's contrast between Faramir and Boromir, who in <i>The Fellowship of the Ring</i> attempted to take the Ring for himself. On the other hand, (which can be seen only in the film's extended version), it is actually their father who wants the Ring and urges Boromir to get it, while Faramir only wants to prove himself to his father. Boyens contends these plot changes were needed to keep the Ring menacing. Wenham commented on the DVD documentaries that he had not read the book prior to reading the script, so the film's version of Faramir was the Faramir he knew. When he later read the book and noticed the major difference, he approached the writers about it, and they explained to him that if he did say "I wouldn't pick that thing up even if it lay by the wayside", it would basically strip the One Ring of all corruptive power.<sup id="cite_ref-story_15-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-story-15"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>13<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>The meaning of the title itself, 'The Two Towers', was changed.

Also created were 100 Elven suits of armour, for which emphasis was placed on Autumnal colours due to the theme of Elves leaving Middle-earth. Two hundred and fifty suits were also made for the Rohirrim.

Serkis "played" Gollum by providing his voice and movements on set, as well as performing in the motion capture suit later on. His scenes were filmed twice, with and without him. Originally, Gollum was set to be solely a <a href="/wiki/Computer-generated_imagery" title="Computer-generated imagery">CGI</a> character, but Jackson was so impressed by Serkis' audition tape that they used him on set as well. Gollum's CGI model was also redesigned in 2001 when Serkis was cast as Sméagol, Gollum's former self, so as to give the impression that Andy Serkis as Sméagol transforms into the CGI Gollum. The original model can still be glimpsed briefly in the first film. Over Christmas 2001, the crew reanimated all the previous shots accordingly within two months. Another problem was that the crew realised that the cast performed better in the takes that physically included Serkis. In the end, the CGI Gollum was <a href="/wiki/Rotoscoping" title="Rotoscoping">rotoscoped</a> and animated on top of these scenes. Serkis's motion capture was generally used to animate Gollum's body, except for some difficult shots such as him crawling upside down. Gollum's face was animated manually, often using recordings of Serkis as a guide.
