The good folks at Mondo (who have history with regard to creating beautiful Tolkien related posters) are releasing a trilogy of posters featuring stunning art by painter and illustrator Riccardo Federici. Here at TORn we’re thrilled to have the exclusive reveal of one of them! Behold – The Fellowship of the Ring poster:

The poster show Sauron in full armour, his cloak sweeping around his shoulders and his left arm raised behind him, about to bring his enormous mace down on Isildur, who crouches, left arm raised in defence, in front of him. In his right hand, Isildur grasps the hilt of the broken Narsil - he is ready to strike on the right hand of Sauron, where we see the Ring gleaming. — ‘It was in this moment, when all hope had faded, that Isildur, son of the king, took up his father’s sword.’

This dynamic image shows Sauron – as we know him from Peter Jackson’s films – bearing down on Isildur, who grasps the hilt of Narsil.

The poster is part of a set – one each for Fellowship, The Two Towers (featuring Treebeard), and The Return of the King (featuring the Witch-king). They’ll all be available for a limited time, individually or as a set – and there is also a limited edition Variant set, showing Federici’s tight pencils of all three posters.

Image shows all three of the posters, with The Fellowship of the Ring poster in the front. The Two Towers poster is partially visible behind, in shades of green, while the blue shaded The Return of the King poster is at the rear. — Set of three posters

All three posters are seen in the variant version - tight pencil sketches by the artist. The image showing Treebeard raising a large stone above his head, with Orthanc in the background, is the central focus. — Set of three posters

All of the posters will be available for pre-order next week, from December 10th (11am CT) through December 19th (11am CT) only – pre-order yours here! Posters will retail for $95 each, $270 for the set, with the variant pencil sketch set going for $300. Treat yourself – ’tis the season…

Now this is some proper poster art. Fresh off the presses, enjoy this great teaser poster for The Hobbit: the Desolation of Smaug.

One observation, could Bilbo be on the Ravenhill? Though, perhaps it’s too close for that.

Plus now we know for certain, the teaser trailer will debut on Tuesday, June 11th, at 10am PDT (1pm EDT)! (Editor’s note: it does say PST in the original post, but I am going to assume that is a typo.)

If you’re not sure what time that is in your area, we’ve done up this little Event Announcer so you can look it up!
