It seems like the LOTR trailer should start playing in France as of January 31th before the movie Le Pacte des Loups. It’s a movie that’s produced and distributed by Metropolitan Filmexport, a company that has an exclusive deal with New Line and who will be distributing LOTR in France. And besides, Le Pacte des Loups is a XVIIIth century dark adventure movie, so it seems to have the perfect audience match with LOTR.
Ringer Spy Knut sends along word regarding the LOTR Trailer in Norway.
Since you’re putting up news of the international releases of the trailer. I’ve been informed that it will start showing in the major Norwegian cities on January 12th, with the movie “Sleepwalker.”
No, my dog didn’t walk on my keyboard, that is the name of the movie folks in Sweden will have to line up for to see the LOTR Trailer on January 19th:

I just got a mail from SF (a major motion picture-distributor in Sweden). I asked when the new LOTR trailer would hit the screens here in Sweden. He said that the trailer would premiere January 19th with the movie “Eva och Adam – Fyra fodelsedagar och ett fiasko” (a swedish movie for the “younger audience”).
This movie will probably just show in Sweden, but the date might give some hint to the premiere here in Europe.
Not only does the movie look good (I’m a very big Cold War/Kennedy/Cuban Missile Crisis buff) but you WILL see the NEW LOTR Trailer before the movie. It will be out January 12th in North America, I’m not sure if the trailer will be with ’13 Days’ or other movies the following week for the folks in the UK, but overseas fans will see the trailer very shortly, and not in a few months. It is very likely that it will then be posted on the new official LOTR site after this time.
The super duper entertainment site, E!online has just updated it’s “Force of Hobbit” section, which is just crammed with spicy LotR news! Curious about what Minas Tirith will look like? Wanna hear the latest scoop on the cast wrap up party? Check out all the details in this December update! [More]
It is very possible, and people from AICN to some close frineds on the inside have been hinting it, and now this:

Below is some publicity stuff I got from Random House/Ballantine Books, with the news that a commercial for LotR will run during the Super Bowl.
Tolkien, Tolkien, Tolkien-The Movie is Coming.
The Tolkien Boxed Sets, as well as individual books and tapes, continue to just blow away. But it won’t end with the Holidays, as 2001 begins the countdown to the movie!! Here’s what we know so far: the trailer will start showing 1/12/01 (attached to the new Kevin Costner movie about the Cuban Missile Crisis) According to insider gossip, this is the hottest and most anticipated trailer since Star Wars. Posters for the movie will also begin to go up into theatres at that time.
And to get the buzz really going. . .a commercial will run during the Super Bowl on 1/28/01. Since coverage of the Super Bowl commercials is sometimes wider and longer than coverage of the actual football game, people will definitely be talking about Lord of the Rings. Please keep the books and tapes up front and to stay well-stocked.
