Preview for Return of the King....

Ok this really needs its own thread as well. As most of you know there is a 10-minute preview of Return of the King on the TTT DVD that just came out a couple days ago.

Let's get some dicussions going on about it

I watched it again today and I am kind of worried about the whole Eowyn thing. In the preview it appears that she rides with the Rhorrim, along with Merry, as Eowyn and not as Dernhelm. There is a shot of her and Merry on the same horse and it is clearly her and not dressed in armor like Dernhelm. Hopefully that is before they leave for Gondor and not on the trip there. If you look further there is also a shot of Pippin holding Merry as Merry is in obvious pain, that is most likely after the slaying of the Nazgul dude.

Gollum should be awesome again, because we are going to get to see his treacherousness once again, and of course SHELOB!!!! If you watch the end of the preview just as it cuts back to PJ there is a shot on the TV they are watching of Frodo trying to cut Shelob's webs at the cave exit

I also posted this in the other DVD thread:

Ok so I got the TTT DVD yesterday and I've watched the 10-minute preview for Return of the King. I want to comment on one thing, my favorite part of RotK, which is the Paths of the Dead. I will spare those of you who haven't seen it yet with the spoiler code

Ok, so I am all very excited about Return of the King, because it is going to be the best movie out of all of them, just as the book was the best out of all of them I've been sweating wondering if Paths of the Dead was going to be in the movie and now I know it will be because I saw the 10-minute preview on the DVD. I am however going to be disappointed if it turns out the way it looked in the preview. Only disappointed in the sense of who goes to the Paths of the Dead, not it's looks. It appears to only have Aragorn, Legolas and Gimli going to the Paths of the Dead and there are none of the Dúnedain taking the trip as it happens in the book. I really hope it doesn't happen that way, because that would mean the Dúnedain will most likely be cut from other things and this would suck because they are such an integral role to the story of Aragorn Either way I will be happy and excited to see Paths of the Dead, but disappointed in that respect!

In this place will I abide, and my heirs, unto the ending of the world.'

'Then Tuor arrayed himself in the hauberk, and set the helm upon his head, and he girt himself with the sword; black were sheath and belt with clasps of silver. Thus armed he went forth from Turgon's hall, and stood upon the high terraces of Taras in the red light of the sun. None were there to see him, as he gazed westward, gleaming in silver and gold, and he knew not that in that hour he appeared as one of the Mighty of the West, and fit to be father of the kings of the Kings of Men beyond the Sea, as it was indeed his doom to be; but in the taking of those arms a change came upon Tuor son of Huor, and his heart grew great within him. And as he stepped down from the doors the swans did him reverence, and plucking each a great feather from their wings they proffered them to him, laying their long necks upon the stone before his feet; and he took the seven feathers and set them in the crest of his helm, and straightway the swans arose and flew north in the sunset, and Tuor saw them no more.' -Of Tuor and his Coming to Gondolin
