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 have never said he should totally shave, but just clean up a bit. ;I just keep thinking about how horrible he must have smelled before he got cleaned up. I mean, he must have gone for absolutely weeks without washing himself or his clothes, and with all that hard riding, running, and sword-fighting too! Ick.
Great pictures, though, eh? The stuff of fantasies. It's nice to fantasize that somewhere out there, there might be men with a fine sense of personal honor, strength, integrity, and high courage, like the heroes of Middle-Earth.

Spoiler alert! New Return of the King photo... The boys are going somewhere!
Legolas, Gamling, Theoden, Eomer and Aragorn leading...
TORN is hedging about whether this is an Extended TTT pic OR a RoTK pic, but I don't think they are thinking it through. These guys were never all together in TTT. So I think they are riding to help Minis Tirith myself!
Bigger version of photo here: (My photo place shrinks photos to this size)

I have to agree Hair. It cannot be The Two Towers since if this was before Helms Deep, Eomer wouldn't be there. After Helms Deep, Gandalf should be there. :)
Hubba Hubba and FMM Alert!

Good point!
Where is Gandalf? Perhaps he had to ride ahead? Off checking on Saruman? - Off getting Pippin out of trouble with the Pilantir? - Maybe he was the one who took the picture.

To: HairOfTheDog
Uh oh. If it's ROTK, then it's either from the ride to Isengard to confront Saruman (in which case, where's Gandalf?) or they're all riding together to rescue Minas Tirith - which would mean no Paths of the Dead? Maybe I'm missing another possibility?
To: Wordsmith
Hmmm...
The Paths of the dead are "in". PJ loves ghouls too much to skip that, and there have been reports about the filming of it.
Must be going to Isenguard, maybe Gandalf had a wizardy errand and he will meet them there, or maybe they are just going on a picnic! ;~D I dunno!
To: HairOfTheDog
Love the pic, Hair. Where's Merry & Gimli?
And, isn't that Eomer directly behind Theoden - kinda between Theoden and Aragorn?
To: HairOfTheDog; Wordsmith
They're heading to TolkienTown to pick up some supplies, don'tcha know?
Where/how do you abbreviate "dontcha"?
To: HairOfTheDog
You're probably right. I'm just worried about what they might cut since they've bumped a lot of important material forward to ROTK. I'm afraid that some great parts of the story will get short shrift. You'd think I'd learn to trust PJ by now!
It could also be a jaunt from Isengard back to Rohan, after Gandalf has ridden off with Pippen but before Aragorn heads for the Paths. But then, Merry should be in the pic. Hmm...
To: LinnieBeth
Gimli is probably behind Legolas on the horse.... He is short you know. ;~D
To: Wordsmith
Merry might be further back.... riding with Dernhelm.... ;~D
To: rightwingreligiousfanatic
I think "don'tcha" works.
To: Wordsmith
Yeah, it's a jaunt to TolkienTown!
Jaunting to TolkienTown, sung to to tune of Marching to Pretoria.... hmmm I'll think about it...
To: HairOfTheDog
Gimli is probably behind Legolas on the horse.... He is short you know. If you look closely, you can see the top of Gimli's helmet over Legolas' right shoulder.
To: Corin Stormhands
Very good then! At least Gimli is accounted for!
To: HairOfTheDog
Very good then! At least Gimli is accounted for!He's not still in the way is he?

About the pic with Aragorn in his kingly armor. He doesn't get coronated until after Frodo and Sam return, I don't believe he reveals himself until after Pelennor Fields, so why does he have his king stuff on already?

Hmmmm.... Maybe all heros of Gondor get to wear stuff like that. Maybe the king stuff is even better!
To: ksen
He's revealed himself on Pelennor fields, and the picture is him, revealed, riding toward the Morannon for the last stand. Remember, they proclaimed all along the way that the king had reclaimed the land. Then the Mouth of Sauron came out and spoke to them. Showed them Frodo's mithril coat.
Anyway, that's what I think...I think he's riding toward the Morannon, proclaimed as king by Imrahil.

This picture has got to be after Helm's deep, on the way maybe back to Meduseld? After Pippin and Gandalf leave?
