The WB is thrilled to present an exclusive behind-the-scenes preview special for the year's most anticipated feature film - "The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers." The first chapter in the "Rings" trilogy grossed over $900 million worldwide and became a pop culture phenomenon.

"Return to Middle Earth" follows the celebrated "Rings" cast as they return to New Zealand to shoot additional footage for the upcoming movie, "The Two Towers." Each cast member gives his/her personal take on the arduous three-year shoot and what is was like to be part of this historic filmmaking experience.

Viewers will get to know the people behind the films' amazing, heroic characters through a series of interviews with cast members Ian McKellan, Elijah Wood, Liv Tyler, Viggo Mortensen and Orlando Bloom (winner of this year's MTV Movie Award for 'Breakthrough Performance'). The audience will also be treated to multiple world-premiere clips from "The Two Towers," including an extended look at the film's climactic battle scene.

This one-hour special will air on December 4 at 8 p.m. ET.
