We recieved this from the folks at Film.com:

On Friday, January 19th, RealNetworks and New Line Cinema will launch the Internet premiere of ‘The Lord of the Rings’ Movie Trailer in tandem with the debut of a brand new Lord of the Rings/RealChannel, within the RealPlayer.

The Internet premiere of the movie trailer will give the world its first online look at movie footage of the trilogy, which has been three years in the making, with all three stories of J.R.R. Tolkien’s infamous trilogy “The Lord of the Rings” having been filmed consecutively on location in New Zealand.

The Lord of the Rings RealChannel is the exclusive online video destination for all trailers, interviews and behind-the-scenes material from the making of the New Line’s epic adventure trilogy. The release will go on the wires on January 19th.

An advance look at the channel can be found at:

We’ve been getting some reports that Access Hollywood will air the teaser trailer on Jan 19th, and not as reported earlier, tonight (Jan 18th). I think we should just watch both episodes, and see what turns out.
