Thanks for the pictures. The Poster has Smeagol on it. Great!

But, is it just me, or is anyone else bothered that Arwen keeps getting such terrific billing. Is she a main character? No... But her positioning in the poster gives her that. Above Aragorn, above Sam, Gimli, Legalos. Merry and Pippin didn't even make it. Neither did Theoden.

I know New Line wants to bring in the women, but for crying out loud. Maybe Liv had it in her contract... but the way she is positioned in the poster makes it look like she has the third lead in the movie. Even if I was going to expand her role, I couldn't think of enough things for Arwen to do to make her the third lead.

Arwen Scenestealer. Arwen Upstager.

I could see playing Arwen up in the first movie to draw the ladies in to see it. But you'd think that they wouldn't need to do that anymore since whoever saw FoTR will most likely be coming back to see TTT and RoTK no matter who is prominent on the poster.
