The ROTK Trailer is here!

Black Breathalizer · 09-27-2003, 07:44 AM

OMIGOD! LOTR-Geek Nirvana has hit!!! What an incredible two minutes of film!!!

Can a trailer be nominated for an academy award!?!?!?!

After seeing what Peter Jackson did with the first two films, I had every expectation that ROTK was going to be amazing. But after seeing this trailer, it's clear that PJ has exceeded even my high expectations for this film.

Two things: I was thrilled to see a couple shots of Dernhelm in the trailer. Also, Aragorn's speech to the troops was incredibly moving.

This truly is going to be The Best Film I will ever see in my lifetime.

I think that you forgot to put where is it?

Artanis · 09-27-2003, 08:22 AM

It's been released in the cinemas. yesterday there was a free view of TTT at the cinema here, and they also showed the trailer.

Black Breathalizer · 09-27-2003, 08:30 AM

In the US, the trailer is featured before the film, Secondhand Lions. Also, TORN is featuring a poorly lighted version from Asia (because it was taped off of TV) on its site if you want to see it now.

The trailer is so damn good, even the TORN version gets your heart pumping.

Pretty good tralier not as good as the fellowship ones but still quite good as BB said it is poorly lighted so you cann get too much of a clear picture its certinally shaping up nice. Love the shot of Gandalf upon Shadowfax charging the Nazgul thats allmost an image that been plucked from my head somebody better be shouting 'white rider....white rider'

Cannot wait

Which movies has it been a preview for besides Secondhand Lions? I don't really want to see a movie just for a preview of ROTK, but I will if there aren't any better choices than Secondhand Lions.

Im sure this is just an american thing but here in england i think they just put traliers on pretty much on any film they want. I would Imgin here it will go before all the films that are on

Balrog_of_Morgoth · 09-27-2003, 02:56 PM

Wow, you guys are killing me! I have a policy with these films that I don't watch the trailers before hand. I don't even watch the ones that are included on the DVD. I like to be totally surprised. I was able to hold out with the TTT, but I don't know if I can this time.

kennebecc · 09-27-2003, 07:03 PM

Both TORN and Herr der Ringe have the full version trailer for download. It's poor quality and dark, but . . . cool too.

For those of you who can't download it, there are screen caps here:

Evenstar1400 · 09-28-2003, 12:49 PM

yes! must go see secondhand lions. cant wait for Rotk! only... 2 1/2 or so months left!!! ooh... must reserve tickets.....

Shadowfax · 09-28-2003, 05:04 PM

This trailer is truly awesome! I cried when I saw it (I'm going to be bawling at the actual movie!), it gave me shivers, it's just sooo good! Aaaaaaahhhhhhh! Hooee!

***IronParrot*** · 09-29-2003, 02:40 AM

I've downloaded a small version of the trailer. I'm still buzzing with excitement after seeing that. I'm just... overwhelmed right now. Now if only they could post the full-screen... then I'll go into a lot more detail about what I noticed...

Wow.

"We cannot achieve victory through strength of arms." YES. YES! Gandalf's speech in V.9 ("The Last Debate") is, to me, one of the critical passages of dialogue in the book (kind of like how the "Samwise the Brave" bit at the end of TTT nearly brings me to tears every time). I was cheering in front of my computer when I heard that.

Look how red Sauron's eye is in that one flash-cut.

Eomer weeping by a dying or dead Theoden...

Dernhelm's identity is pretty obvious by the voice, but we'll see how that is handled... There's a GREAT shot of Eowyn pulling off her helmet at that critical moment in the Pelennor Fields - it went by so fast I didn't even catch it the first time...

Galadriel reaching out to Frodo - where is that? It looks like Lothlorien... how does this fit in?

Aragorn meets up with Elrond again - does Elrond go to him to deliver the reforged sword, or what happens?

SHELOB!!! (Actually looks a little small but I was watching a small trailer... in fact, I think that's just her head)

As for the LAST SHOT in that trailer. I think that's self-explanatory. The big moment.

Oh, and they back up the trailer with the NEW Howard Shore score! It's a fully fleshed-out rendition of the Gondor theme that we heard once or twice on a trumpet in The Fellowship of the Ring.

Thats acctually in the book its a very short sentance in the two towers when frodo first touches the Phail. I think they probably have put that in there to remind people what the phail is and for the non exdended addition people a bit more detail.

Goatee · 09-29-2003, 01:02 PM

Here is a pretty good version.

Enjoy!

I literally got chills watching this trailer. You can just tell that this movie is going to be good, and the best of the three. This will define the fact that this will be an epic adventure. I think this one will not only be the best movie of the three as ROTK is the best book as well, in my opinion, but I also think PJ will finally receive praise from many of those who disliked what he did in the first two.

We finally saw a quick glimpse at shelob too!!
