An anonymous spy dropped this little gem into our mailbox just yesterday. What is it? Well, it’s a short video sequence of Gandalf chatting to Aragorn about the Ring in far more depth than we’ve seen previously. It could be from a Two Towers EE scene, a clip from the Two Towers PS2 game, or even a snippet from RoTK – we’re not quite sure yet. You will need the latest div-x codec – which you can obtain from here – to view this file, but it’s a free download. [More] Spoilers!

Update: About 50 people wrote to me to say that this clip does – as I suspected – originate from the the EA game of the Two Towers. [More]

Empire Online has this very early preview of Return of the King on their site. No really new information, but a few olds snapshots and a quote or three about Mouth of Sauron and the Dark Lord himself from Peter Jackson that you might have forgotten about. [More]

Kenneth over at IGN Filmforce dropped us a line to say that the site is doing a week-long special on Billy Boyd, focusing on his extensive film and stage career. So, while Billy might be most recognisable to you as Pippin Took, delve into this special feature and discover much much more about this talented Scot. [More]

I found these fabulous caricatures of Karl Urban, Peter Jackson and Elijah Wood while snooping around stuff.co.nz. [More]

In the most recent edition of the LoTR ‘Fan Club Official Movie Magazine’, an interview with PJ states that FotR EE had 32 extra minutes, and the Two Towers EE will have 43 additional minutes. That means the extended Towers will come in at 222 minutes in length – that’s a whopping 24 per cent more movie! Thanks to all who reported this! [More]

Apparently, nearly all of this new footage will consist of character scenes. There will be a good deal of Treebeard expansion as well as Huorns at Helms Deep. Also of interest was that Jackson denied that he was one of the Dunland wildmen. His only cameo was the Rohan spear chucker at Helm’s Deep.

Added to the we already have via the BBFC about some of the DVD extras, looks like the Towers EE release will be just as impressive as FoTR.
