It's Here! Return of the King Trailer
 

OneRing has the Return of the King trailer. Be forwarned, it's a 10 meg download but well worth it.<P>I'll leave the discussion until more people have seen it.<P>***MAJOR SPOILERS***<P><A HREF="http://img-nex.theonering.net/movies/rotk_768.mov" TARGET=_blank>http://img-nex.theonering.net/movies/rotk_768.mov</A><P>H.C.

Yay! It's downloading now! Thanks HC!<P>Awww, didn't work. <p>[ July 31, 2003: Message edited by: peonydeepdelver ]

Hmm for some reason it does not appear to be compatible with my computer. I've tried to download it from <A HREF="http://www.theonering.net" TARGET=_blank>www.theonering.net</A> and from <A HREF="http://www.comingsoon.net." TARGET=_blank>www.comingsoon.net.</A> Any suggestions?

Aha! I've defeated my evil computer! It's downloading. Thanks for the info, I have been waiting for the trailer since January!

*hugs HC*<BR>Oh dear lordie...thank you! I was so disappointed when the other trailer wasn't available (a while ago; One Ring shut it down, remember) so this is SO GOOD! And now I wait.

*sighs*<P>Well it certainly didn't take those turkeys long to learn that theonering.net had it up as they had to remove it from their servers! I am more than a <B>LITTLE</B> ticked with TPTB at the moment as they make us <B>WAIT FOREVER AND TEN DAYS</B> for this trailer and when someone finally get it they can't let us enjoy hardly an hour before its gone!<P><B>GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR<BR>RR RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR<BR>RRRRRRRRRRRR RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR<BR>RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR RRRRRRRRRRRRRR<BR>RRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!! <BR>!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!<BR>!!!!!! !!! <BR></B> <p>[ July 30, 2003: Message edited by: Arathiriel ]

I don't think it is avaliable anymore. On TORn they were asked by New Line to remove it. And I couldn't seem to find it anywhere on Coming Soon either.

Yup, it's gone.<P>I'm not surprised it was shut down, but man that was fast. Hopefully a number of people where able to download it before New Line swooped in.<P>Editted to add: Here's a bit of a transcript of the trailer I put together.<P>***SPOILERS***<P>Shot of The Ring on the palm of a dirt covered hand (Frodo's?). Cut to Gollum leading Frodo and Sam through woods at night.<P>Pippin (voice over): Is there any hope, Gandalf, for Frodo and Sam.<P>Gandalf (voice over): There never was much hope ...<P>Cut to Pippin looking melancholy. Looks up. Cut to Gandalf looking at Pippin.<P>Gandalf (continuing): ... Just a fool's hope.<P>Cut to dirt covered Frodo looking up and struggling to climb. Cut to Merry. He's holding someone's hand (Pippin) who is obviously on a horse.<P>Merry: We shall see The Shire again.<P>Cut to a sad and confused looking Pippin who hesitantly nods. Cut to Gandalf riding Shadowfax through dark woods (I suspect Pippin is with him). Flash of the Eye of Sauron and then mustering Orcs. Cut to Faramir.<P>Faramir: My Lord, Osgiliath is over run.<P>Cut to men (orcs?) running through the streets of a burning city. Cut to Eowyn looking distant.<P>Theoden (voice over): I would have you smile again, ...<P>cut to Theoden.<P>Theoden (continuing): ... not grieve for those who's time has come.<P>Cut to a Gondorian soldier holding a wounded comrade. Gandalf is in the background. Cut to Aragorn looking defeated. Cut to Gandalf.<P>Gandalf: The board is set ...<P>As Gandalf continues in voice over, scenes change to Gondorian archers taking aim, orcs pulling large war engine, Aragorn in Gondorian armour leading the Host of the West from Minas Tirith. Gandalf a top Shadowfax as he climbs stairs to the battlements of Minas Tirith. Camera tracks over the wall to the army of the Enemy below.<P>Gandalf (voice over, continuing): ... pieces are moving. We come to it at last - the great battle of our time.<P>Cut to Gondorian calvary charging. Cut to orcs attacking the gates with a large battering ram. Cut to either a machine of war or a chunk of wall coming down on battlements and doing significant damage. Cut to combat on the streets of burning Minas Tirith. Cut to Nazgul swooping down on the battlements, knocking off a soldier. Cut to Sam and Frodo.<P>Sam: You don't see it do you?<P>Cut to Gollum talking to his reflection in a pool.<P>Gollum: Precious will be ours ...<P>Cut to catapults launching flaming balls which go over the wall and land in the city.<P>Cut to a disoriented Frodo.<P>Sam (voice over - continuing): ... He's leading us into a trap.<P>Cut to Frodo running through cobweb covered tunnels.<P>Cut back to Gollum by the pool.<P>Gollum (continuing): ...once the hobbitses are dead.<P>He drops a stone into the pool.<P>Cut to Aragorn and Legolas in caves.<P>Cut to soldiers charging.<P>Soldier (voice over - it may be Eomer or Theoden): Ride, now! ...<P>Cut to Legolas taking aim.<P>Soldier (voice over continuing): ... Ride for ruin ...<P>Cut to Aragorn in Gondorian armer charging.<P>Soldier (voice over continuing): ... and the world ending!<P>Cut to more soldiers charging and then to a beauty shot of Gandalf rounding a corner on Shadowfax as a Nazgul lands in front of him.<P>Title: The Lord of the Rings - The Return of the King<P>December 2003<P>H.C.<p>[ July 30, 2003: Message edited by: HCIsland ]

Anyone know of a way to get it?

Drat! I find this out too late, for it's already gone. Oh well, I guess I'll just have to wait.

Luckily I was able to watch it before New Line ruined my fun. Ooh...now I want to see the whole thing even more. Ack! *runs and reads RotK*

Now that's some good stuff!<BR>I can't wait till it makes it to the theatres... it must not be too far off now if it's complete.

Would someone (pleasepleaseplease!) e-mail it to me? (I can't find it on either site! GRR!) nosedive@att.net I promise, no spam or forwarded stuff!<p>[ July 30, 2003: Message edited by: Roccotari Eldandil ]

OMG, that sounds like such a good trailer...and such good dialogue!!! The part with Pippin talking about Frodo and Sam and then Frodo and Sam on their way to Mordor!! Oh, it makes me want to see the movie so bad! The bad thing is though, I'm not aloud to download anything on my comp, so I can't see the trailer. Oh, I hope they have real player trailers soon!!!

Why didn't I get up earlier today , Oh my gosh! That dialogue is so wonderful. I can't wait to see that. Lucky all you people who did

Drattit! I downloaded it at work, but my darned computer wouldn't play it. And by the time I get home, I find that it has been removed. <P>Thanks for the transcript, HC. Some of those scenes sound great. The siege of Minas Tirith and the Battle of the Pelennor sound (I wish I could say look) fantastic. I wonder how much of the Gandalf voice over is simply for the trailer, though.<P>Interesting too that Jackson has Sam thinking that Gollum leading them into a trap. As I recall, they don't realise this in the Book until they are already caught in it.

Could someone possibly send me the file? Perhaps someone can PM me for my email and send it to me that way.

Noooooooo!!!! Why me? Dang it! Why did I have to log on so late? The dialouge is great but that just makes me even more anxious to watch the trailer!!!! Any ideas on when it will 'offically' be out?????

Word has it there will be a trailer on the Two Towers DVD. I'm assuming this will be the one. Jackson says the trailer will be in theaters in September.<P>Now that this file is out there, I suspect it will be popping up on sites and will be screen-capped. I'd keep looking.<P>H.C.

PM me... that's all I'm saying

Argh! If only I had been able to be online for the hour that it was up! Oh well. <P> <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> PM me... that's all I'm saying <HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>Same here, if you find anything. As long as you don't mind.

Well, I've seen it now. I already have complaints. The Pellenor Fields are too desolate, the battle is too bright, and Frodo looks like an absolute idiot with his face covered with mud. My friends, we are in for a brief, brief summation of the final installment. That is all the griping material this trailer has provided me with, so I'll make some compliments. The nazgul are done excellently, as is Gollum and Shelob's Lair, and the Citidel in Minas Tirith. But, with the ridiculous waste of the Pellenor Fields as a background, the city looks ridiculous. It ought to be nighttime when they ram the gates, which are much smaller than they ought to be.<P>Finished,<BR>Iarwain

When I went there it said that New Line had asked nicely (something like that) to remove all threads to the trailer. I must be reallly unfortunate.

Drat it all, I'm too late! The trailer sounds wonderful, though; thanks so much for the transcript, HC! Keep us posted!

The trailer was wonderful! It all looked quite dark and gloomy. But I'm sure the Ride of the Rohirrim will be given plenty of sunshine! I cannot wait for the movie, I hope they release a high-quality (and official) trailer soon.

hehe, can anyone send it to me through e-mail?

I just saw it on this site.<P><A HREF="http://www.filmhobbit.com/forum/showthread.php?s=&postid=35416#post35416" TARGET=_blank>http://www.filmhobbit.com/forum/showthread.php?s=&postid=35416#post35416</A>

Thank you for the site Miraz!<BR>The trailer sounds awesome, thanks for the script so to speack HC!!<P>Its so weird because right at this exact moment I'm listening to the FOTR soundtrack, The Ring goes South and its playing the 'fellowship theme'... perfect timing!!<P>But wait... NO ITS NOT WORKING!!! darn computer!!!!!!! no.........<P>I'll have to try on another computer...

Thank you so much, Miraz. As usual, I was late yesterday!

Thanks Miraz<P>I was able to watch it yesterday, but silly me, didn't download it on my computer...<P>Now I have it, and it isn't going anywhere...

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> Pippin (voice over): Is there any hope, Gandalf, for Frodo and Sam.<BR>Gandalf (voice over): There never was much hope ...<BR>Cut to Pippin looking melancholy. Looks up. Cut to Gandalf looking at Pippin.<BR>Gandalf (continuing): ... Just a fool's hope.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>Awwww, poor Pippin! I just downloaded it from that site Miraz, I'll watch it momentarily... <BR>Thanks for the transcript HC! I also heard that the trailer will be on the TTT DVD. I'm so excited after reading just the transcript... *wishes there was a graemlin with wide eyes and mouth to express squeaks of joy* Oh well, this is the closest thing.<BR>

The trailer on the TTT DVD, I believe, will be an official one. The one we saw was pirated. I am still looking forward to the first big trailer released by New Line.

I'm downloading it right now, it takes like forever...

I saw it!!!<BR>I'm nearly crying...

It's Downloading!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What did we find out from that post? <BR>HC, thanks for posting it. But I, much though I loved it, don't think they should give us *that* much to wait for. Though the other trailers were too short...<P>Swan song,<BR>-Menelien<p>[ July 31, 2003: Message edited by: GaladrieloftheOlden ]

Ohhh, I finally got to see it. It is really great, except for one tiny little problem... It is WAYYY too Short!!!!<P>Other than that it is really cool. I love the part where Pippin asks Gandalf about if there is any hope for Frodo and Sam, that part touched me the most. I don't really think that is for the movie theaters though, it ends so abruptly.

<B>*DOWNLOADING!!!*</B><P>OMG, this is so cool! I wasn't expecting to see any kind of trailer for another month!!! Right on!<P>Abedithon le,<P>~*~Aranel~*~<P>[EDIT: bloody typos.....]<p>[ July 31, 2003: Message edited by: Sapphire_Flame ]

Oh, my goodness, that was the best thing I have seen in weeks. I hope they have a longer one on the ttt DVD, like they did with FotR. only 26 more days!!<P>Namarie

I saved the file (in case those tricky New Liners decided to crack down on ALL of the sites). If you give me your e-mail address, Meela (or anyone else who requests it), I will be kindly obliged to send it to you. If you know of a faster way for me to send the file, I'd be glad to do that also.
