The Official Site is back with another Quicktime clip from the Extended Edition. This time it’s Philippa Boyens talking about some added scenes with Treebeard, Merry and Pippin. There’s even an amazing little snippet of the action itself. Thanks to everyone who wrote in with the link! [More] !!!Major Spoilers!!!
Ringer Spy Karin adds to the recent flood of Return of the King images with this really nice picture from the Ravensburger puzzle of Aragorn and Arwen. I’ll say no more, but it definitely is a spoiler! [More] !!!Major Spoilers!!!
