Howdy,
I had heard this story before, but this is the first published story I've encountered which verifies it. (http://www.canada.com/montreal/montrealgazette/story.asp?id=7530006A-C103-4E13-9A55-F6EFCC111ACC)
It's the greatest and most spectacular battle in the Lord of the Rings trilogy.
But filmmakers faced one surprising challenge - how to keep the computer-generated soldiers from fleeing the battlefield.
Apparently, it took them two years to code a soldier who wouldn't just break ranks and run.
Well, they WERE aiming for realism...
