Minas Morgul
For Peter Jackson's "The Lord of the Rings" film trilogy (2001–2003), Richard Taylor and his design team built an high miniature ("big-ature") of Barad-dûr. Jackson's "" movie (2003) showed Barad-dûr as clearly visible from the Black Gate of Mordor, which is not the case in the book. Jackson portrayed Barad-dûr, like the other enemy fortresses of Isengard, Minas Morgul and the Black Gate, in "an exaggerated Gothic fashion" with a black metallic appearance. In "The Lord of the Rings", the Eye was within the "Window of the Eye" in the topmost tower, whereas in Jackson's film trilogy the Eye appeared between two horn-like spires that curved upwards from the tower top.
