LoTR: Return of the King - Pictures, spy reports and spoilers thread (ongoing)

Lord of the Rings:
Return of the King!
Pictures, spy reports and spoilers thread (ongoing)

Countdown to December!


Larger version of above image here

Beyond this point there be spoilers!

Like spoilers? – Keep reading!

Don't want spoilers? – Click HERE and don't look back!

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 RoTK 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 "RoTK 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!

One tip….. Don't embed images from TORN (TheOneRing.Net) on this thread. If possible, load the image to another server, or just post a link to the TORN page. TORN's servers are powered by fleas I think, and are horrendously slow, particularly when they have something that is particularly good!

I found the whole Osgiliath episode in the movie a bit jarring (still shoulda taken Best Picture). Frodo could not have faced down a ringwraith and lived--. And did you notice that he pulled Sting on Sam, supposedly in Faramir's captivity? Faramir would have removed all weapons.

The wraiths at the Prancing Pony absolutely terrified me. I loved the way they rolled into the room like they were floating, with that chorus in the background. The strange, greasy stuff on the horses' hooves, the Morgul blade...thought it was very effective. Such a lot of trouble taken with those costumes, layers upon layers of differing shades of grey. Must have weighed a ton.

re: C'mon, PJ! Throw us a freaking bone here!)))

And we have to wait until August to get our DVD of TTT. Potter's already been out a month. Now, why do we have to wait for our DVD?

Hair, looks like there is a video floating around of the footage from that gaming event. Harry seems to think it's taken from a teaser trailer that we may be seeing within weeks!
