theonering.net has the RotK trailer!

I'm working on downloading it right now, so I haven't seen it yet. But I had to let you all know!

*bounces*

Gah! I need more bandwidth! I can't wait another twelve minutes for it to download!

Posted by msquared (Member # 4484) on :

I'm going with the mirror one, because I had the same problem.

It's taking a while to download, but I think it'll actually work once it's finally done, so it's worth it, I think. [Smile]

edit: err...I actually read your post this time, and I meant, the QuickTime one didn't play for me at all, so that's why I'm getting the .rar version. [Big Grin]

Posted by twinky (Member # 693) on :

Er... Vana, isn't .rar a file compression format? Like .zip?

I expect when you uncompress it it'll just be a bigger QuickTime file [Wink]

Posted by msquared (Member # 4484) on :

I don't think that this will be the official trailer. Here is what the site says "TheOneRing.net brings you this exclusive first look at THE RETURN OF THE KING! This file was sent to us by person or persons unknown, it shows 1:35 minutes in GLORIOUS Quicktime a TON of shots from ROTK. Sam and Frodo in Mordor, Pippin and Merry, Gandalf at Minas Tirith, fell beats, Pelennor Fields, Orcs and Men fighting, Aragorn and MORE! !!!MAJOR SPOILERS!!!

It just has tons of shots from ROTK. That does not make it the official trailer.

I still would like to see it.

yeah...you just need to download Winrar so you can unrar it.

GO CABLE MODEM! [Big Grin]

Posted by Vána (Member # 3262) on :

Ahh...I'd never heard of that format before. Turns out you were right, of course. [Smile]

And also about the officalness of the trailor, I'd guess (still haven't successfully seen it, actually - but I'm going to keep trying!).

Posted by Vána (Member # 3262) on :

Ah-ha! Success!

[Big Grin]

Yay!

Posted by twinky (Member # 693) on :

Where'd you find the .wmv version?

Posted by Shigosei (Member # 3831) on :

Ack! The pages for the mirror sites won't even load! [Mad]

Posted by Maethoriell (Member # 3805) on :

Crap...I am blinded but not deaf!!

Sounds sooo cool.

They pulled the trailer off of theOneRing.net

UPDATE: New Line Cinema has kindly asked us to remove the links and files with the ROTK trailer, sorry folks!

They took it down. Is there anywhere else to get it?

Posted by Strider (Member # 1807) on :

i'm sure there will be as soon as people upload it to p2p networks.

Posted by Vána (Member # 3262) on :

Oh no! [Frown]

Posted by Vána (Member # 3262) on :

I'm sorry, guys. But I bet Strider's right. And maybe it'll be officially released soon.

*hopes*

Posted by sarcasticmuppet (Member # 5035) on :

They're a little late releasing the trailer, aren't they? I've seen the first two as early as June, with the summer flicks.

It's still up there.

Posted by Sarcasm (Member # 4653) on :

Up where? I see the Two Towers trailer, but not the one for Return of the King.

Posted by Nick (Member # 4311) on :

Same here. [Mad]

Could somebody email me?

Posted by Nick (Member # 4311) on :

Nevermind, the images in the trailer where just spliced stills. It isn't official. Look:

Posted by Vána (Member # 3262) on :

Nick, you're a punk. [Razz]

It seemed to be a real, if short, trailer - especially since New Line pulled it. And it was in fact moving scenes, with dialogue and music.

I hope it (or a better, longer one!) shows up in theatres soon. But, at very least, we'll get a preview with the theatrical TTT DVD at the end of August.

Posted by Shigosei (Member # 3831) on :

Fortunately, I still have the window with the trailer in it open. The URL is: http://img-nex.theonering.net/movies/rotk_768.mov

Posted by msquared (Member # 4484) on :

The link is not working now.

I bet it was part of what may eventually be the official trailer, but until it is at the official site we will never know.

msquared(who already has Dec. 17 off work so that I can see the ROTK 4 times that day.)

Posted by Shigosei (Member # 3831) on :

It still works for me. Maybe it's because I already have it in my temp internet files?

Posted by Pat (Member # 879) on :

Get it while it's hot...

[Cool]

Posted by Head Ditch Digger (Member # 5085) on :

Pat-Thanks for the link. Now get out!

Posted by Fitz (Member # 4803) on :

A friend of mine insists that this trailer is fake, and that any new footage is in fact from the extended dvd edition of TTT. I don't know, I don't see anything which would cause me to disbelieve him.

For example, why do we not see the spider (Forgive me for not remembering her name)? There are no scenes in this trailer that don't look like they couldn't easily come from TTT, and nothing startlingly new that would indicate RotK. Where are the Mordor scenes?

Posted by Vána (Member # 3262) on :

There are at least two scenes that are most certainly from RotK and not from TTT, plus all the shots of Aragorn in his royal armor. I'm not saying they won't be in the RotK preview on the TTT DVD, but they are not from TTT itself.

I won't say any more, because I don't want to spoil anything for anyone.

Posted by Head Ditch Digger (Member # 5085) on :

Except the footage of them in the caves. Though that happens in the second book they included it in the third movie.

Posted by Darwin (Member # 5473) on :

Shelob the spider.

*faints*

Posted by Maethoriell (Member # 3805) on :

Unfortunately, I still can't see it [Frown]

.

The TT EE is out already?

[ July 30, 2003, 09:00 PM: Message edited by: Maethoriell ]

Posted by Fitz (Member # 4803) on :

Not yet.

Posted by Vána (Member # 3262) on :

No, no. Not until November for the EE, I'm afraid.

Posted by Maethoriell (Member # 3805) on :

Ok..I was beginning to wonder why some people weren't going crazy about it if it was out.

It's so unfair how people get clips of anticipated movies and try to show them off.

Posted by ak (Member # 90) on :

Oh, that looks so good! I got chillbumps. Oh, man, I can't wait!

Posted by Eaquae Legit (Member # 3063) on :

The nazgul is just how I pictured it. They've drawn heavily on the John Howe artwork, and I love it!

"Ride for ruin and a red nightfall!" I'm strangely happy they included this line. [Big Grin]

Hopefully this will be a great movie!

Posted by Narnia (Member # 1071) on :

*Hugs Pat*

I weep in anticipation. Why are they making us WAIT so long?! (don't worry, no one has to answer that, I'm just being dramatic.)

Posted by Nick (Member # 4311) on :

*preordered TTT EE months ago*
*grins evil-like*

That doesn't to justice, we need a evil smilie! [Wink]

Posted by Human (Member # 2985) on :

Oh. My. God. RotK WILL make up for the less-than ideal TTT. This is gonna rock.

Posted by Nick (Member # 4311) on :

We can only hope, Human, we can only hope.

Posted by newfoundlogic (Member # 3907) on :

I wish death upon you Pat for now I will die of anticipation. [Mad]

Very frustrated that I will have to wait another 4 months. Worries that it will not live up to its potential like the second. The first time I saw the trailer for the second my mouth was left hanging open. [Angst]
