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!

Short 20 second preview of the trailer from E!:

here.

Also, check this out not sure what it is yet. Looks like a preview of the trailer in Spanish

Finally, here is all the dialogue from the trailer:

---

Legolas: "The Eye of the enemy is moving..."

Elrond: "The end has come..."

Aragorn: "Every day, Frodo moves closer to Mordor"

Gandalf: "How do we know Frodo is alive?"

Aragorn: "What does your heart tell you?

Smeagol: "Come master....Come to Smeagol"

Elrond (to Aragorn): "This is your test. Every path you have trod, through wilderness, through war. There is an end to this road."

Elrond (to Arwen): "The Enemy will never let Aragorn come to the throne of Gondor"

Arwen: "It is time" "Give him the sword of the king"

Elrond: "Become who you were born to be"

Gollum(looking in puddle): " The Precious will be ours"

Sam: "He means to murder us!!"

Gollum" "Never!"

Frodo: "I'm not sending him away...Come, Smeagol"

Gandalf: "The Board is set, the pieces are moving"

Frodo(?): "He is here"

Gandalf: "We come to it at last"

Aragorn(to a huge army): "I see in your eyes the same fear that would take the heart of me(?). The day may come when the courage of men fails, when we forsake our friends and break all bonds of fellowship.
But it is not this day!"

Dernhelm(to Merry riding in front of her): "Whatever happens, stay with me!"

Aragorn "This day, we fight!!" crowd cheers

Gandalf "All you have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to you" i think this was voice-over

Merry to Pippin: "I'll see you in the shire again"

Elrond to Arwen: You gave away your price(??) of grace. I cannot protect you any more

Eomer: "We cannot achieve victory with the strength of arms"

Aragorn: "Not for ourselves, but we can give Frodo a chance"

Sam (in a very hot place, screaming) :"Noooo!!"

[maquiladora]

This will open a 50 second streaming clip of the trailer in Windows media player.

Hey, did you get the full thing? All 26mb's? TORN put up the wrong file first, it was only half the trailer.

Btw, it'll be online on Monday on the offical site anyway.

I made it myself!

[Pyro7480]

Ping your lists! Here's another place you can view the trailer (isn't it amazing!). This is a low-res version, unfortunately, but this may work better for those who have dial-up connections.

Yes...yes you did!

Aragorn(to a huge army): "I see in your eyes the same fear that would take the heart of me(?). The day may come when the courage of men fails, when we forsake our friends and break all bonds of fellowship. But it is not this day!"

Ugh...here's to hoping its not some lame "Braveheart" type of speech. Imitation is NOT the sincerest form of flattery. Otherwise the film looks to be awesome!

[My back yard]

I finally got the trailer loaded from the aol link and watched it. Something that was interesting is how Gollum at the top of the cliff says to Frodo "Come Master, come to Smeagol" and then almost a smirk. Is the wording the same as when Frodo was leading Smeagol to Faramir? "Come Smeagol, come to Master"

[My back yard]

Jackson sticks pretty close to the Tolkien quotes for that kind of address. Thing might be though -- since Tolkien wrote so much from real historical events, which one is the imitation; the Braveheart or the ROTK? Has the director of Braveheart read Tolkien?

[KantianBurke]

"Jackson sticks pretty close to the Tolkien quotes for that kind of address."

Where in ROTK does Aaragon make that sort of address?
