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

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!

Hi Hair, you have a better ping list than I do, so I'll just note it to you...

for those who werent able to grab the trailer (like me)...someone else did and set up some screencaps on the KD thread...naturally, they are Pippin-centric, but I will keep an eye out for others...there *is* one of Merry...

My heart is gonna be PULVERIZED...

Yeah - your boy needs a hug....

Go share this if you like, with your other friends.... We had quite a debate this morning in the Hobbit Hole as to who the two characters were in the screencap below:

The chain mail makes sense for Pippin in RoTK costume, holding Merry.

Spoiler alert!

I know it is hard to follow the trailer today, but this is a good article! PJ puts to bed some of the rumors (like a physical Sauron) and starts some new buzz:

Media Watch: Official LOTR Mag Talks PJ
7/30/03, 2:55 pm EST - Xoanon

Elf Lady sends along these scans from the latest issue of the Official LOTR Magazine. It features a great PJ interview (and don't worry...the rabbit is fake -Xo). [More]
