LOTR: Return of the King trailer rumors

[kami]

OK, so there's nothin to back it up...but there haven't been enough LOTR threads lately Here's a "spy report" from TORn.

I was at a Halloween costume & party convention over the weekend in Chicago, and in one of the booths, selling lotr costumes and accessories, the guy running the booth had a copy of the ROTK trailer. I don't know where he got it -- I didn't ask and he didn't say, but let me tell you ... it was AWESOME!!!

Narsil was reforged, Eomer wept with Theoden in his arms on the pelennor fields, pippin lunged and pulled faramir off the funeral pyre, sam went after something (shelob assuredly, but they showed nothing of her) with the phial of galadriel, grima drew a dagger and leapt at someone .... those were just the highlights ... i'll attempt to go through it shot for shot as best i can remember ....

it opened with armies charging across plains, then cut to gandalf in theoden's hall at edoras telling aragorn, gimli, and legolas that they are running out of time ... oh hell, i don't remember the exact order now, but they do show the halls of the dead (a bunch of skulls lying on the floor in a dungeon looking set), they show aragorn riding at the head of an army with the white tree emblazened on his breast plate, they show eowyn and faramir in the garden in gondor embracing, sam crying out to frodo that "can't you see? He's betrayed us!", but the coolest thing of all is SAURON COMES BACK IN PHYSICAL FORM ... unless it was some weird flashback, which I doubt, in the final battle before the black gates, Sauron is back, decked out in the same armor he was wearing in the flashback sequence in FOTR, and he goes after Aragorn -- so it would seem ... Sauron is bashing his way through, they cut to Aragorn fighting off a bunch of orcs, they cut back to a shot of Sauron, and they cut to a shot of Legolas, shouting Aragorn's name, as if to say, "Hey Aragorn, look out, there's a huge %$^#$^&^ with a mace about to pound your skull in!"

all in all, the trailer was about two minutes long and showed a lot -- but my memory isn't what it used to be ... just thought I'd let you all know that there is complete ROTK in circulation ... again, I have no idea where this guy got it, but I'm kicking myself now for not giving him like twenty bucks, and asking him to dub a copy and mail it to me .... if I can sort out anymore of it in my muddled mind, I will let you know ...

The first trailer should be out by April/May! And that's just the "teaser"...the real awesome trailer isn't til Sept/Oct.

 

[Storm]

Its neat there is a bigger fan of Lotr than myself. Umm good work kami keep it up .

 

[Martin]

I am downloading some vids of kazaa right now all named "return of the king". I doubt they'll be the real thing, but if they are, I'll let you guys know.

I dunno, but I'll end up with 2 copies of the same movie again. One the way it should have been, and of course the vanilla theatre version. Course the theatrical version will be released first. :|

Some of us already have it... :Q

The theatrical version should be out in August, the "Special" version in November if they follow LOTR.

amish

 

[Anubis]

true or not sounds cool as sh!t

 

[CChaos]

I'm not sure the "Special" Two Towers will be worth it though. Unlike the Fellowship, apparently very little was cut from the Two Towers. I heard that awhile ago though so who knows...

 

[StinkyMeat]

No, I heard there's about 3 times as more footage cut out of Two Towers

Two tower EE will approach the four hour mark....Fellowship EE was 3 hours and 30 mins.

Plenty was cut from TTT
