Susan Thea “Frodo” Posnock writes: I must say, I’ve done an excellent job of keeping my Lord of the Rings: Return of the King anticipation (read: obsession) from consuming me so far. I only check Theonering.net every couple of weeks, and I merely “toyed” with the idea of getting faux fur permanently glued on my feet. [More]

E! News Live will be showing ‘exclusive ROTK footage’ this Thursday at 7pm EST. We expect this to be a portion of the trailer shown in front of ‘Secondhand Lions’ this coming Friday. Set those VCRs! (Thanks to the loads of Ringers who sent in the scoop)

From Ringer Spy Jon comes this “friend-of-a-friend” report on the upcoming ROTK trailer. Despite the roundabout way he got his information, some of it co-relates with our earlier ROTK trailer report… and is VERY cool! HERE BE HUGE SPOILERS, so read at your own risk! [More]

From Ringer Spy Jon comes this “friend-of-a-friend” report on the upcoming ROTK trailer. Despite the roundabout way he got his information, some of it matches our earlier ROTK trailer report… and is VERY cool!

  • Gollum looks really angry talking to himself about the “precious” and something about wanting Sam to die…
  • Pippin in the dark with a teriffied look on his face, then saying: ‘I saw him, Gandalf. He’s coming after me.’ …
  • Gandalf telling the lord of Gondor about a huge force coming from Mordor, but the lord tells him his news is too late and he already knows. Followed by a closeup shot where Gandalf looks very suspicious…
  • Shot of what looks like Gandalf and others on horses passing through the ruins of Isengard.
  • The screen says: ‘For every victory…’
  • Merry being put on a horse…
  • HUGE charge seen with lots of horses and men yelling…closer up it shows Merry pulling out a sword…
  • Flying Ringwrathes swooping around a city and over a field …
  • A guy falls of his horse and someone else holds him in his arms.
  • The screen then says: ‘There are great losses…’
  • Elrond saying that the sword that broke should be in the hands of the king again…
  • Lots of quick battle shots and scenes with Legolas and Aragorn fighting…
  • The screen says: ‘For those who survive…’
  • Frodo running through that dark tunnel with the monster chasing him with the lightbulb glass in his hand…
  • Sam shouting in anger as he tries to stab something offscreen with his sword (maybe Gollum?)…
  • The lord of Gondor bending down over Faramir saying how he has lost both sons…
  • The screen says: ‘Many will suffer…’
  • Pippin voice-over: ‘Something’s wrong with the lord. He’s not in his right mind.’
  • Gandalf outside telling Aragorn about being the true king and need for his leadership. Then Gandalf looks across to Mordor and says how everything
    depends on Frodo’s quest…
  • Sam on the ground in the cavern where the ring was made, yelling out to Frodo not to put it on…
  • Then just the dark screen where it says when the movie’s coming out and whatnot…

And another great picture! This time it’s DK who chimed in with the following: “Five mile press have brought out a calendar for release in Australia, and in the front section there are some stickers. One of them is a clear shot of Dernhelm.” Take a look at the picture here! Mind you, if you’ve never heard of the character of Dernhelm there’s a spoiler waiting for you!

Ringer Paladin emailed us this link to this excellent picture from the current issue of Studio Magazine. It features Merry and Pippin in front of an Oliphaunt on the Pelennor Fields! Check it out in our scrapbook! SPOILERS! [More]
