RotK EE Previews - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

AbercrombieOfRohan · 11-29-2004, 06:02 PM

THERE IS NOW A SIX MINUTE TRAILER OF RETURN OF THE KING ONLINE AT THE www.lordoftherings.net . Oh dear God! It is beautiful. It looks like they put everything back in. (besides Scouring of the shire which was a given) houses of Healing, eowyn and Faramir, mouth of sauron, merry pleding alegiance to theoden, aragorn and sauron'c confrontation through the Palantir. 6 MINUTES!!!wow! do they know how to abuse fangirls.

I advise that you go there right now and see it. It certainly lifted my heart about the ROTK:EE. I was a bit concerned when I first when I saw that first preview but now I'm really excited about it. the first preview seemded like they were still strecthing to make time, but they really looked like they had fun with this trailer. Anyways just getting the message out.

At lordoftherings.net (and at theonering.net) there are links to a teaser for RotK EE.

Very cool-- don't miss it.

The non-official, higher-res site loads faster.

Thank you for telling us, mark12_30! I really appreciate it.

I'm a little sad that we don't get a ten-minute-long previews like on the summer releases.

I'm glad the F&E romance is in.

Very sweet.

59 days!

What do you think of the mouth of saron? I think it locks quite weird..

Morquesse · 10-17-2004, 12:42 PM

The Mouth of Sauron looks like a orc in fancy, evil-appearing armor with metal teeth. I guess they didn't have crowns or gold caps like we do nowadays.

hey, I'm happy, only one bit made me cringe and that was Saruman attacking Gandalf with a big blast from his staff. Now I can't remember THAT from the book......

Dûrbelethwen · 11-20-2004, 08:59 AM

Having just watched it again I noticed something that I found interesting. In the scene with the Mouth of Sauron he said, " I have a token I was bidden to show thee. I thought that word unique becuase even though the phrasing was in an older style there seemed to be no words that would not be used in regular conversation.

I'm so disappointed with myself! I promised myself that I wouldn't watch the teaser. I even skipped all sites and files that could include spoilers and...well, I watched it yesterday. My overall impression of EE is pretty good. I felt the same enthusiasm over the film I have felt every year since 2001.
Now, of course, I still have to grumble about a few things.

Quote:

I really don't like the Aragorn talking with Sauron via the Palantir (I don't even like the idea of it). For me it's one of those things better left implied (I've always imagined more of a symolic battle of 'wills', something telepathic (Osanwe-Kenta?).

I agree. Of course, the clip we saw was very brief and it might look better when it's merged in the complete EE, but still...
Then there's the fire ball of Saruman. Maybe it was due to the resolution of the teaser or something but it looked way too cheesy to be in LotR.
And finally the Mouth of Sauron. I think he'll look just fine when we can see more of him, the whole scene, but now he resembled too much an orc.

Anyway, I'm really looking forward to December 10th, when I'll get my copy! This teaser was very short. I'm sure that 50 more minutes will include lots of material we all will like

ps. It's snowing! Feels like Christmas!

Garen LiLorian · 11-22-2004, 08:41 AM

Anyone know why there is a hobbit (assumedly Pippen) up behind Gandalf during his confrontation with the Witch-King? I guess the whole thing must be a bit out of order from how it happened in the book, 'cause Pip oughta be... let's see now... Ah. Here it is; "cowering into a shadow" having just turned the corner on foot.

Still, pretty cool! I especially liked the mouth. Always a fan of the archaic language. The whole movie could have used a bit more of that, in my opinion.

Dûrbelethwen · 11-22-2004, 11:35 AM

I think the scene with Pippen, Gandalf, and the Witch king was while they were on their way to save Faramir.

Elianna · 11-29-2004, 06:40 PM

Was that Éowyn beating up on Gothmog?! Don't know if I'm excited or angered about that... And I wonder about that scene between Aragorn and Éowyn in Houses of Healing (when Éowyn's wearing that blue robe).

Otherwise: Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh (sigh of relief), that's going to be great!

Sapphire_Flame · 11-29-2004, 06:53 PM

SHINY!!! *bounces around the room* I'm so excited now! And only two weeks left!!! *squeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!* The scene with the Mouth of Sauron looks absolutely brilliant, and the Houses of healing, and...

*squeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee...!*

[Saphy, stop it. You're embarressing.]

*...eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!* *gasp, pant* Okay. Breathing again. ^^

Wasn't the Houses of Healing; it was in Eowyn's room at Edoras.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmm, even more suspicious.....

THERE WAS THE JOURNEY TO THE CROSSROADS!

AbercrombieOfRohan · 11-29-2004, 07:41 PM

I though it was Pippin kicking Gothmog's orc/man/ ???'s booty. MUST watch again.

THE Ka · 11-29-2004, 08:04 PM

I wish i could see it but, it won't show me...

Do I have to have micromedia or something? I hope i'm close...

Fordim Hedgethistle · 11-29-2004, 06:53 PM

Fordim to self: Must not watch preview. Must save it for the full release. Must wait to have full effect and pleasure. No watching the preview. No watching.

Maybe just a quick peek. . .
