TRAILER
The decision has been made to release only one trailer for ROTK but to make it the most “kick ass” trailer on screens this September, laden with spectacular special effects and powerful emotional elements. The exact debut date for this trailer will depend on how quickly Peter Jackson can finish the sfx shots so for the moment it’s a floating trailer release date, as early as the beginning of September, but no later than September 26th.
