New LOTR Trailer !!!!

[isildur]

<sigh>

I had always hoped to see Patrick Stewart as Gandalf...


I never did get much support for my casting choice of George "Gheorghe" Muresan as Aragorn either...


LOL

 

[Siva]

that wasn't a cave troll, wasn't that the balrog in the mines of moria? or was it just an orc? I'm pretty sure that was the mines they were in...

 

[ElFenix]

balrog should be bigger and fiery

 

[Electric Amish]

Yeah, the cave troll at the beginning of the mines.

Most definitely NOT the Balrog!

amish

 

[isildur]

No, that was NOT the balrog. That was the cave troll that breaks into the room with the well.

The Balrog doesn't appear until much later - one of the latter images in the trailer shows the party in an open cavern surrounded by a huge number of orcs. The Balrog shows up there, but isn't seen on screen (from what I've read) until a little later (on the bridge, as it should be).

Some spoilers posted from people who were treated to one of the screenings (i.e. Cannes) indicated that the Balrog should make a very nice impression - none of this crappy lion's head stuff - I can't remember if it is going to have wings though, anybody remember?

 

[fatalbert]

Balrog won't appear until the movie. There is no way that will be given away.

(Drooling).

Can't wait any longer. I may have to sign off Anandtech just to go reread yet again LOTR!!!!!

Well, instead of getting Professor X, you get Magneto!

 

[Passions]

Dang, I didn't know Lakers coach directed this movie, THAT'S INCREDIBLE!!!

 

[isildur]

Hey man, don't I know it - I can't believe nobody took that suggestion seriously!

 

[KDOG]

You guys are going to want to see my post!!!

 

[Optimus]

Excuse me, I seem to have soiled myself.





Drooooooooooooollllll......

There must be something wrong with me because I was deeply disappointed in the trailer: too rapid! Flash, one scene, flash, another, flash, next...it's too fast, you can't see any detail when each scene lasts only 2 seconds (though the small QuickTime window doesn't help). They are trying to shove too much into 30 seconds. I'm sure it looks better on the television.

I saw the trailer in the theaters before i watched the others
and man, it was dope! cant wait til it comes out! december was it?

 

[kami]

mithrandir, that's why you have to watch it frame by frame like I did...you even catch a VERY short glimpse of Gollum. It's IMPOSSIBLE to catch it without going frame by frame.
