Mike Cheney asked Jerry B. Jenkins:

I know I am to keep one consistent point of view throughout a scene. Yet I have a scene in which there is a room full of people, and I want the reader to be privy to a few side conversations going that the main POV might not hear. Is there any good way to accomplish this? Thank you in advance!

Jerry B. Jenkins Your perspective character is your camera and recorder, so we should see and hear only what he/she does. I would have him wondering what so-and-so is whispering about and then have another character sidle up and say something like, "You won't believe what I just heard..."

I just watched a trailer. It looks good. However I am left wondering if the film makers stuck to the book or did they embelish it and take liberties where they should not have? Thanks for your time and your books. :)
