Coming Attractions has nailed it! 3 teaser posters for the Lord of the Rings films!
November 8, 2000… The day that Tolkien fans around the world have been waiting for has finally arrived: feast your eyes on the teaser posters for the Lord of the Rings movies! The posters were sent to us by a trusted source who requests anonymity, but the image itself comes directly from within New Line Cinema and has been used in promotional material. All three posters incorporate a different primary color and Middle-earth symbol.
UPDATE
When we get confirmation, we GET it! New Line Cinema placed a call to TheOneRing.net offices to inform us that these three pics are NOT teaser posters at all. They are in fact early test compositions for some concept art for promotion, these are 3 that did not make the grade and will not be used. No posters were ever made from these pieces of work, they’re one of many designs New Line looked at for the films.

Many people have written in asking me about the LOTR trailer coming out in theatres all over North America this December. To answer you truthfully, we’ve tried checking in on the details but have come up with nothing, this is what we do know:
– There is a very strong probability that the LOTR will be out this December, according to some reliable people on the inside.
– At first we heard it would be attached to either ‘Little Nicky’ (November 10th), or, more likely the Kevin Costner suspense/drama ’13 Days’ (December 20th). This news, however, has changed recently.
– We reported last month that New Line Cinema, the same production company that is producing LOTR, bought the distribution rights to ‘Dungeons and Dragons’. ‘DND’ will be released by New Line on December 8th, and will, in my opinion be perfect fodder for LOTR fans looking for the LOTR trailer.
So the answers you’re all looking for? Well, if you live in a major North American city, and want to see either DND, 13 Days or Little Nicky, you’d be covering your bases.
