Don't say we didn't warn you! Spoilers are what this thread is all about. So bring your rumors (substantiated or not!), spoilers, spy reports, and bones of contention about them here as the snippets of TTT news, photos and interviews come rolling in.
I wouldn't even recommend pinging people to this thread unless you know they want to see them. There are a lot of purists out there that hate to have anything given away before the movie comes out. I, however, am not one of those.
I will start a "TTT spoilers ping list" separate from the other Tolkien ping lists… so let me know if you want to be on the spoiler alert list!" If we use this thread for that kind of stuff, we won't shock people who don't want to see it. (though I bet they look anyway!)
Report 'em if you got 'em!
LOL! Just read this..You are SO bad!

As most of you know from the discussion this morning, the new trailer is out, it is not yet the nice high resolution version that we hope is coming tonight to the official site, but the sneak preview that was posted at AOL...
To download it, go HERE: Official Site - AOL exclusive sneak preview (don't need AOL to get it from here)
Here are some screen caps I have been able to grab this morning, Looks Great! Check out the screen caps that are at the official site too... they are smaller images, but better quality, and they could capture the really fast moving stuff that I can't.... Like the WARGS....
UMMMMMM Let me think about it!.... YES!!!! - It's wonderous!
Spoiler alert!
Treebeard ALERT!
Anyone got the Oliphaunt yet?

PJ really captured the many, many years Treebeard has seen with those eyes, hasn't he?
Maybe it'll look better in motion...Treebeard still reminds me of Pocahontas' "Granma Willow"...LOL!!

Treebeard looks GREAT. The wargs look AMAZING....
Ohhhh, I've got a very good feeling about The Two Towers.
:-)
I think Tolkien gave so much substance to the characters that a devoted re-reader with an inspired, bright, visual imagination and enough $$ could do them all well, especially if the recreator has it in mind to stay true to Tolkien, which PJ & Co. did.
Re best picture possibilities, I felt, when FotR came out, the superstitions of Hollywood -- they knew PJ had two more in the tank and they knew this thing was massively great. They weren't about to give best picture to him three years together, no way. Or to look so foolish as to give best pic to parts one or two but not three, so they are gambling and hoping no one comes up with something better during the year Return of the King is released ... because that's when they are hoping to bestow best picture on PJ et al.
I also think the power brokers in Hollywood have a plan to give PJ & Co. some sort of achievement award at the end of the trilogies being released / honored, whether he gets a best pic eventually or not.
Oops, looks like the site I linked it from moved it. And unfortunately, I did not think to save it, so I can't put it on my server. D'oh! Anyone else happen to get it?
