Ringer Spy Imrahil’s Babe<\/b> emailed us with a report of some footage for The Return of the King<\/i> she saw in New York City! Apparently New Line showed something that sounds like a trailer at a licensing show there. The report contains some minor spoilers<\/b><\/font>!<\/p>\n

The New Line Cinema booth at the Licensing show in NYC was showing some footage from the Return of the King! The room was very loud so I couldn’t hear exactly what they were saying, but it opened with the New Line logo and then Eowyn, standing still and looking brave. Galadriel was doing a voiceover but I couldn’t hear what she was saying due to room ambiance. Then it cut to shots of the main players, including one of Faramir standing in front of a statue of a man on a horse — probably Osgilliath but maybe Minas Tirith. Then a long tracking shot over a plain towards a hill — Mindolluin?? — then a tremendous shot of Gandalf with Pippin on Shadowfax galloping through the trees.<\/p>\n

Other scenes: LOTS of ground combat from the Pelennor Fields, probably, very up close shots. Also fireballs landing among men. Eomer in a different helmet than we have seen him before giving a war cry; Gondor soldiers soing into battle; Frodo and Sam looking apprehensive; Gandalf looking down from the battlements of Minas Tirith at something he doesn’t like the looks of…that’s all I can remember! Oh yeah a few shots of Aragorn looking brave and Legolas drawing his bow that I think we’ve seen before. Also Gandalf wading into battle with drawn sword — very exciting!<\/p>\n

All in all the screen lighting was far from ideal, so the footage looked a bit washed out. However, a crowd would gather everytime they showed it. I watched it three times myself.<\/i><\/p>\n

If anyone else was there who might have a better idea as to what was said in the footage for instance: we’d love to hear<\/a>!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
