Kjeft sends along word that he/she was able to see the ROTK trailer! He/she sends along a rough description of it! Take a look!
Hmm.. well.. the trailer is fabulous! I actually dont remember so much of it, cause I was so suprised that they showed the trailer.
We see Eowyn and Merry on a horse, ready to fight.
Galadriel leaning against Frodo who is lying on the ground (it seems like it was a clip from a dream, that maybe Frodo has).
Gollum who talks to himself about taking the ring.
Sam who accuses Gollum for wanting to kill them, Frodo who kinda “protects” Gollum from Sam, and Gollum smiles in an evil way to Sam.
Arwen and Elrond; Elrond says to Arwen that he can’t protect her any longer (I dont remember.. but it was something about Arwen and a sword, and that the King should have it..).
There are enormous battle-scenes!
We see Eomer crying with a person in his arms (maybe Theoden?)
Many Nazgul attacs.
Legolas fighting.
Frodo running inside Shelobs lair with the phial he got from Galadriel, and we se Shelob running after him!
There’s something with a blue flame.
SAM IN MOUNT DOOM, AND HE SCREAMES “NO FRODO!”
And some of the text that was in the trailer: ‘In every battle there are great losses’ (or something like that..)
JRD At Blockbuster Video Signing in LA
Kailin writes: Here are some pictures from JRD’s signing event yesterday (Sept. 23rd) in LA. The event was actually to help promote the forthcoming Indiana Jones DVD boxset, so LOTR fans only found out about it today. Because of this, the Blockbuster in Hollywood was actually not very busy at all. It was interesting to see the reaction of the people coming into the store to just rent videos. If you have had bad experiences at signing events with lines that went on forever, this would have been the perfect event for you. Also, because JRD likes to chat with people, he didn’t feel as pressed for time to keep the line moving. It was a very relaxed atmosphere. Credits for the pictures. Primmy is the lady in the brown jacket that JRD tickles in one pic, Bill is in the Tan jacket, and I’m in the Green One Party, Two Towers shirt. [More]
Garfeimao writes: Antioch is releasing a set of High End special bookmarks for TTT. This is a scan of their sell sheet, which is something that bookstores are sent so they can order the bookmarks they want to sell. The general public can’t buy most Antioch stuff directly, but they can ask their local bookstores for some of these way cool items. [More]
