From Ringer Sylvan:
Greetings!
I work in a small independent rental video retailer, and was quite pleased upon arriving at work today to find we had received an official release date for The Two Towers! This came in the form of a CD-ROM “Digital Announce Kit” which contains everything from upcoming TV & radio promos, ad slicks and product images (including packaging art and DVD menu images), to computer wallpaper and icons, as well as two “countdown” screensavers. It also had a hi-res poster scan, very clever interactive menus “hosted” by Gollum featuring a 3 minute retailer trailer outlining the upcoming Merchandising Campaign, and most importantly, all of the pre-order and release date information. Release date for the Theatrical Edition will be August 26th, and the Extended Edition will be November 18th. I have uploaded a few of the images for your perusal. Enjoy!
UPDATE!
Ringer Spy Sylvan sent in this EXCLUSIVE! selection of fantastic high-resolution wallpapers for the Two Towers theatrical DVD release – as well as the DVD and VHS artwork! You’ll get a sneak peak at our as-yet unannounced new and improved Scrapbook as well! [More]

UPDATE II!!
Also courtesy of Ringer Spy Sylvan, we got our paws on this 30-second TV spot that will be promoting the theatrical DVD release. It’s encoded in Quicktime, so take a look! [More]
Correction: Insider sources tell us, ‘that the 30 sec. TV spot listed on your site isn’t made for TV. It was created only for the CD-ROM.’ Thanks for the note!
