Rotk Spoiler Pics Inside...

[Elf Lady]

The image of Frodo (a full body shot, btw), was just part of the magazine layout, I didn't crop the pic to take him out...actually, in the original picture, Gollum is also shown with gaming miniatures.

[DolAmroth]

Looks like the Witch King was in the trailer

Who do you guys think are behind them?
Looks like Eowyn (or Legolas because of the hair) and Gandalf a little further away. Who is supposed to be there? And I'm pretty sure Pippin wasn't there when Merry got injured in the book...
Since the details are a bit hazy for me, was Legolas and Gandalf there at the time in the book?

[adt100]

DA those pictures aren't really 100% conclusive for me regarding the Wiki, there just from fans like us having seen the trailer on their PC. Having said that, being as the Nazgul in question was emerging for MM at the same time that the 'signal' was issued, I think we all assumed it was the Wiki anyway did we not. :)

[adt100]

LOTRfan, I'm pretty sure that in between Pippin/Merry and Gandalf is just another male Rohan soldier. You could see him from the shot in the trailer.

[LOTRfan]

thanks...that makes more sense. I didn't think to check the trailer. And that hair was throwing me off...

[Necross]

Wait a minute. Thats in the trailer? I didn't see it in the one on Lordoftherings.net and I watch it over and over. Where is the trailer with that in it?

[Necross]

Oh and the Witch King thing. Doesn't Frodo and Sam see him at the crossroads? They may have had to alter some parts slightly, but they wanted to still have Sam and Frodo see him. So anyway lets wait for the movie to come out.

[Mr. Frodo]

http://img-nex.theonering.net/images/scrapbook/9067.jpg

Mouth of Sauron? I think so because he was supposed to resemble a man.

[Nazgul-101]

Jesus F****** christ! is that mouth of sauron for real??? Looks FEAKING AWESOME!!!!!! where did you get that pic???

[Necross]

Disregard my last post please. I remembered that trailer was on the Two Towers dvd.

[Macbane]

Looks like just an orc to me...

[Mr. Frodo]

i got it from TORn its under the headline ROTK Advent Calander. I really think its The Mouth

[Nazgul-101]

Well then Mordor ocrs must look pretty cool eh? haha

[DolAmroth]

Thats not the mouth of Sauron its an orc. but here are some other new pics

http://img-nex.theonering.net/images/scrapbook/9061.jpg

http://img-nex.theonering.net/images/scrapbook/9058.jpg

http://img-nex.theonering.net/images/scrapbook/9062.jpg

[PsYkOoOoO]

i agree...i think its just another orc

[Macbane]

Those are some awesome pics, Dol.

[Macbane]

It's a Darth Maul orc! :lol:

[PsYkOoOoO]

hahaaa...

[The Moose]

cool pics there people. i'm wondering what gimli is looking at when he is staring. i think it's POTD, or it could be the Oathbreakers, or maybe the orcs at Pelennor

[DolAmroth]

The one of Eomer on his horse looking stuned I think thats when he first sees the amount of orcs on the Pelennor fields and around the white city.

[PsYkOoOoO]

for gimli...i think its at POTD..check out the background..;)

[The Moose]

i think it would be that too. but what about gimli?

[DolAmroth]

its Gimli at the entrance to the POTD

[Dogbert0228]

Thanks for the pics... I'm hoping that's MOS, looks completely different from any other orcs we've seen... Great pictures... Just what I've wanted for a while. New ROTK goodies...

[The Moose]

along with MoS, i really want to see his horse. really cool in the book

[Macbane]

I thought I read somewhere that Mouth Of Sauron would be man who wore a helmet that covered everything but his mouth? :confused:

[The Moose]

i want him to wear some type of helmet/crown. and i want to see his mouth too

[Smeagol]

Amazing pics. :applaud: I am surprised that given that we are only 2 months away from ROTK, we have only seen 2 'pics' from Mount Doom. Someone at New Line is being very careful so that they aren't leaked...it is, after all, 2 and a half years since they filmed that scene! :eek:

[adt100]

Originally posted by Macbane

He is. Don't worry, that's just some random Orc or some such. We've seen the pics of the MOS (played by Bruce Spence) having make-up applied to his jaw a long time ago.

[JEDI_THE_WHITE]

Listen to adt, because he is right...

Great call adt...:cool:

[coal-ash]

After reading the article over at torn about not releasing screen shots of the bosses for the rotk video game i wonder why NL does not wait to release the game until after the movie. once the game comes out we will get a good idea on how the wiki mouth of sauron, and shelob look. also the big surprise person that Aragorn fights. if that part makes it into the movie

any thoughts

[DolAmroth]

Well its no real big deal anyways so what we will know what the witck king looks like. Its not gunna really spoiler anything of what he does.

[coal-ash]

yeah i know but it seems like al of newlines efforts are in vien. by trying to keep things secret then showing them amonth before the film

[adt100]

I can understand NL's decision on the 1 hand, but on the other it does seem a bit pointless given that i) we've seen the Wiki, ii) we've seen Shelob iii) we've seen the MOS's jaw and helmet. I doubt a polygon model in a game will be too much of a 'spoiler'.

[Spy-Of-Saruman]

Anyone else seen this? Possibly an alterante helm for the Mouth of Sauron?
http://img-nex.theonering.net/images/scrapbook/4505.jpg

[downflow311]

that helm looks bad ass!!!!!

[Spy-Of-Saruman]

Sh'yeah it does!

[scifi guy]

Woah thats pretty cool. I hope they use that in the film.

[adt100]

Yep, that's the other pic (1 of 2) that has been touted as possibly the MOS's helm. I've never been too keen on it TBO, the downward horns look a little corny for some reason, and it relly doesn't fit with the 'style' of Mordor and Sauron IMO. With the full outfit I suppose it could look quite good though, we'll just have to wait and see. :)

Personally I'm a little disappointed that it looks like we won't be seeing the gold/black spiked crown anywhere in ROTK. I really liked the look of that design. :(

TOTALLY *****EN!

[adt100]

Sorry, but I have to say that picture of the MOS that DA posted looks sooooo camp!

[Dogbert0228]

Not crap, just nowhere near as good as it's described in the books and as PJ will portray on-screen...

[DolAmroth]

I always imagined the Witch King to look like some thing from spawn or like this pic

http://www.americanroyalarts.com/library/spawn-opc-5.jpg

[coal-ash]

now this is a cool wiki

[Necross]

I just wanted to confirm that the pic with of the Witch King with the Blue helmet with the point is the real Witch King. Its on Lordoftherings.net. Just for those who didn't know.

[DolAmroth]

where on lotr.net does it show that.

[adt100]

It's in the characters section. It was posted here the other day by Jedi I believe.

[adt100]

Incidentally, Sideshow Weta have just posted pics of their latest collectible, the Morgul Lord atop his Fell Beast. Not a very large picture and virtually impossble to see any detail of his helm/crown, but extrapolating from the picture we have seen on the official site, it does appear a bit more 'crown-like' around the rim, with the central spike eminating more from the front and curving back rather than from the very centre. (which is good BTW IMO :) )

congrats, and cool pic adt. thanks

[DolAmroth]

does anyone know what movie this orc is in cause its an real old famous pic

http://www.warofthering.net/photos/fotrorcs/images/orcassault.jpg

[Spy-Of-Saruman]

Ive wondered that before, because they look like Moria Orcs but are on the outside.. maybe testing the look of the Moria Orcs?

[adt100]

They're Moria Orcs, I think that pic is from the pursuit of the Fellowship into Lorien.

[Spy-Of-Saruman]

So they filmed it but never showed it?

[The Moose]

definitely Moria orcs. i would like to see the chase that the orcs gave, but i think that we never will, sadly

[Smeagol]

Originally posted by Spy-Of-Saruman

Yes, they filmed it. PJ said so on his FOTR EE Commentary.

[adt100]

Yes, it's covered in 1 of the many, many features on the FOTR EE.

[Dogbert0228]

One of the scenes I loved in the book, the chasing of the Fellowship into the forest, and then the Orcs coming to a stop because they don't dare enter... Hopefully we'll see it eventually in one form or another...

[Glordreen]

Maybe they'll add it to the "Special Trilogy" in about 5 years or so.

[Necross]

I have a feeling we will see it in a "Speacial Trilogy" in the future as well. They did film it...well because they said it but also there is a scene of it on the Fotr trailer at lordoftherings.net, with Legolas getting ready to shot an arrow while the rest of the fellowship runs past. Also in Fellowship EE, there is a scene of that that they had for the storyboards. Picture of Legolas preparing to shot the arrow, but then hundreds of arrows fly out from behind him at the orcs.

[bmp72178]

Anybody got the LOTR Trvial Pursuit game? Here's some spoiler from it:

Legolas kills Wormtounge
Aragorn fights and kills the Mouth of Sauron
Gollum tells Frodo Sam is trying to steal the ring from him

There's a whole host of them out there, but those seem to be the most interesting.

[PsYkOoOoO]

this pic was posted before...but much smaller and lower quality..here is a bigger and better vers of the pic of frodo and sam at the crossroads..

http://img-nex.theonering.net/images/scrapbook/9075.jpg

[Necross]

Wow that was kinda blunt BMP.....oh well lol.

[DolAmroth]

Is that in ROTK cause what part is that at

[Cloud Buster]

Good guess, and I hate to disagree with you adt, but they're not moria Orcs. Look at the eyes, they're far too small -- Moria orcs were designed with very large eyes to see in the dark -- go check out FOTR and see. Not to mention this aspect of their design is something that's covered in one of the special features, I believe it's one of the lordoftherings.net featuretts on the FOTR theatrical DVD.

Furthermore, the sequence of being chased into Lorien occurred in the forest setting, you can see more than one part of the sequence by digging through the trailers on FOTR.

[The Moose]

cool, thanks CB

[Mr. Frodo]

hey guys have you seen the new 30 second ea return of the king game clip it shows sam stabbing Shelob in the head. There is a really cool shot of the Nagul raising their swords ala FOTR Weathertop with yellow lightning in the background! its sweet go here to find it www.warofthering.net

Tsk, tsk, disagreeing with me! That'll never do. ;)

Ther definitely are Moria Orcs as identified by their armour, and not all of them had HUGE eyes. If you don't believe me just check the EE - both the film and the picture galleries. :)

[The Moose]

Mr. Frodo, is that clip in the teaser trailer for the ROTK game?

[Spy-Of-Saruman]

I agree with ADT, those are Moria Orcs, the armour in the distance looking "cockroach-ish" as PJ wanted and the Orc closest to the edge at the front has rather large eyes too.

[Spy-Of-Saruman]

Anyone else seen these

awesome...

[scifi guy]

I don't know if this has been posted but heres "The Crossroads"

Edited: i just found the same pic a page back so i removed it.

[PsYkOoOoO]

the models above looks like something from gamesworkshop

[Shagrat]

I don't think it's Shagrat, mainly because I think the 2 photos below show Shagrat and Gorbag.

As much I'd like them to be, those two orcs are not Gorbag and Shagrat. Follow the link to see them. The one with the mace is a generic orc. I think Shagrat might be the Uruk.

http://www.thegd.com/photo.asp?image=/images/Toys/PlayAlong/SS_MordorOrcs_Press.jpg

[adt100]

What makes you think they are Shagrat and Gorbag? There's no indication to make that assumption that I can see.

[Spy-Of-Saruman]

I have to agree with adt, I beleive Shagrat and Gorbag are the pics posted up top.. I mean theres no indication that that is Shagrat, it just looks like a normal Uruk and if I remember Shagrat wasnt an Uruk

[Shagrat]

Two reasons:

1) The three pack is called Gorbag, Shagrat and Orc with Mace

2) On Games Workshop website, they have pics of the new ROTK products. One is a two pack of Gorbag and Shagrat. They are the same green one and long haired one.

I think that's proof conclusive. I don't really like the green one though, I would've preferred the ones you said adt100

Well why didn't you say that before. Comparing those pictures from the Green Dragon site, and the miniatures from Games Workshop (SOS posted them in the other thread), they do look very similar, and certainly different from those that I posted, which have long been around the 'net and assumed to be G and S.

I would say that you're right, it's pretty conclusive. Like you though I preferred the pics I posted due to their similarity with the Alan Lee painting. :)

Well why didn't you say that before

Yeah sorry I just realised that. I should've said the other stuff before.

[king_of_hetzer]

http://www.ninecompanions.net/funnypics/final/merry_sword.JPG

From EE of Two Towers... I KNOW! Wrong thread, but hey! Still!

[king_of_hetzer]

And dont you dare question me, it IS from TT. That is NOT knife in the dark

[Spy-Of-Saruman]

Dont get all hostile, **** sake

[Spy-Of-Saruman]

Although, why would Merry have a sword out? Really wouldnt the Uruks have taken their weapons and why does he look like hes just caught it? And why does it look like a cave? Sorry, but if you ask me this is a Knife in the Dark

[Glordreen]

THere is now way thats from the TT EE, its Knife in the Dark.

[Spy-Of-Saruman]

Oh and, this is from FOTR considering its under the funny pics section over at NineCompanions.net where the rest of the pics are SHOCK HORROR from FOTR!

[Spy-Of-Saruman]

http://www.ninecompanions.net/gallery_pics/tttpics/grouphobbits/ttt_frodosam_13.jpg

[scifi guy]

I think thats a new one SOS.

[Glordreen]

yes I believ it is a new one, but I have seen frodo like that in another pic.

[PsYkOoOoO]

look at the way frodo is eyeing sam...WOW

[Macbane]

Wow... that picture is great... Frodo looks so suspicious of Sam, and Sam looks so hurt. There are gonna be some great preformances in this movie.

[PsYkOoOoO]

exactly..which might earn him a nomination..u never know

[The Moose]

cool pic there SoS

[legolas_lass]

yeh cool pic, but it's basically one thats been seen nefore, with a way cooler b/ground! cool though :)

[PsYkOoOoO]

i dun remember seeing frodo looking at sam like this before

[Mr. Frodo]

in that little book thing that came with TTT DVD on the page with the one ring, thats the pic of frodo but sam isn't on it.

nice pic though. finally the poster has been blown up.

It's an awesome image that covers the entire trilogy. I would love to have this as a poster on my wall.

your joking right? Elijah Wood for best actor in the oscars? there is no way that would happen. i guarantee it. i think sometimes you guys seem to forget the academy nominates not fans. BTW, im not meaning to insult you psykooo if it seems that way. but you guys forget the academy has shunned LOTR and they will continue to do so. its all politics with them. and they know how PJ feels about them.

[DolAmroth]

Wow it looks so much better blown up

i said MIGHT downflow...MIGHT

[DolAmroth]

I will be surprised if The ROTK doesnt get best picture. One being its gunna be incredible and will diserve it by itslef Two there really hasnt been any other movies out this year that great.

[PsYkOoOoO]

only the last samurai....which will be coming out soon...

[adt100]

Nice picture, is that for some special ROTK premier tickets or something?

On a side not, I think the only big pushes for acting awards will be for Viggo Mortensen, Sir Ian McKellen, Sean Astin and Andy Serkis.

[Wyn]

Ohhhhhhhh I love the poster, except...... Wheres Faramir???
& Eomer?? but most importantly Faramir evil people grrr lol I really love it but why no Faramir :( sulks
Or am i just being totally blind!!! in which i will take it all back tehe

[Glordreen]

They probably couldnt find a place for him on the already crowded poster

then be surprised because it wont. it will only win technical oscars. no acting, no best picture.

[adt100]

I would disagree with that anaylsis downflow. The momentum has been building behind ROTK all year, and unlike last year there have been relatively few challengers, and those that were touted as being hot contenders have been receiving less than stellar reviews.

Of course there are never any certainties, and we all know how bizarre some of the Academys decisions can be, but ROTK has as strong a chance as any film out this year.

These things tend to happen in phases, we haven't had a big 'epic' win best picture for a few years now (Gladiator was the last) so this year is shaping up nicely for ROTK.

[downflow311]

Lost in Translation not a challenger? Sophia Coppola and Bill Murray not challengers? i suggest seeing this movie if its out in the UK adt. it will sweep the oscars IMO. the Academy will continue to shun PJ and LOTr. and since ROTK is considered by the academy to be a sequel, its further proof it wont win anything beyond technical awards. Academy doesnt award sequels. History ('cept Godfather 2) proves that.

im not trying to be hard on you guys but im just trying to ground you all. in reality it will in 3-4 oscars at most and only technical awards IMO. i cant beleive some fans think it will win 7 or more. its completely biased and ridiculous IMO.

BTW i want ROTK to win just as many as all you guys want it to. but when realization sits in just doesnt make sense.

[bmp72178]

Lost in Translation will not win best picture, it probably wont even be nominated. It may get a nod for Murray, Coppolla, and the script, but that's it.

[downflow311]

i guarantee it gets nominated for best picture. the academy loves this type of movie. the most critically praised movie this year and a landmark for Bill Murray's career.

I've not heard anything of that film yet downflow so can't really comment, but it's not a film that I've heard mentioned in any of the build-up at all. Yes it may get a nod from the Academy with regard a nomination, but be sure that will be all. They may like that kind of film, but unlike many award shows AMPAS usually shower 1 main film with multiple awards, and rarely (if ever) is the Best Picture award given as a separate entity.

You mention Godfather 2, and wisely so. I see no reason why ROTK cannot follow this success. 2 other films I would compare are Titanc and Braveheart. BOth of which in mnay areas you can consider very similar to ROTK and ample evidence that the Academy are willing to reward such films.

[downflow311]

titanic and Braveheart were not sequels though. they were original pieces of film. i think this sequel thing will sway the academy's decision; as it has always done.

Lost in Translation has had more buzz then any other film this year in the states. and since its from Sophia Coppola, Frances' daughter, i think that the politics of the awards will play a major role in the academy's decision.

BTW theres no doubt in my mind ROTK will get several nominations. i just dont see it winning; just like in the past. i dont see a reason why the academy wont continue to ignore PJ and crew.

[adt100]

Maybe this discussion should continue in here - http://www.comingsoon.net/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=19525 :)

[downflow311]

i think the discussion is over pretty much anyway adt100. we have both made some pretty good points and plus i dont like disagreeing with you anyway because i like you.

[DolAmroth]

found this on Amazon.com its kinda a small pic but its new

http://images.amazon.com/images/P/B0000CDVTP.01.MZZZZZZZ.jpg

[The Moose]

new as a montage poster, but i think it's legolas on the horse on the right, that's something i haven't seen before

[the_one_ring_03]

PJ will most definatley win best Director for his efforts in the trilogy. It mite win Best Picture because ROTK does look more emotional than the previous 2 and it is the crowner film of the trilogy. The academy love emotional films. If you look at Oscar related sites ROTK is at the top of the list for Best Picture. At least thats a start. Go to www.oscarwatch.com and there is links down the left hand side of the page to other Oscar related sites Can u imagine if ROTK does win Best Picture. It wud be absolutely amazin.

[PsYkOoOoO]

Nice Poster there by the way..;)

I cant wait until Nov 6th cause thats when the ROTK game is coming out and its gunna have lots and lots of new ROTK footage. I cant wait to buy it on my X box.

[DolAmroth]

Is that Dennethor about to burn Faramir

http://img-nex.theonering.net/images/scrapbook/9175.jpg

[Macbane]

Looks like it, DolAmroth!

[PsYkOoOoO]

yes...

[JEDI_THE_WHITE]

It has to be...


This film is going to rock!

[PsYkOoOoO]

i have a qn though..in the books pippin stole the palantir when gandalf was slping...that is correct but however..i remember they were slping in some woods when pippin stole it...not some house like the one in the pic

[DolAmroth]

I wouldnt think that Dennethor would burn him there I would think he would do it out side somewhere not inside.

[JEDI_THE_WHITE]

Those pics with pippin and the palantir shed some light on of the scenes in the trailer. Obviously the palanir event takes place in Edoras, now at the same time Pippin is taking the palantir, Aragorn and Legolas could be outisde looking toward's mordor talking about "the eye of the enemy is moving..." When Pippin looks into the palantir and Sauron sees him, that could lead to Legolas saying the line "he is here..." For the eye of Sauron would have shifted from Frodo and Sam to Pippin at Edoras.

[DolAmroth]

yeah could be

[PsYkOoOoO]

ooooo...could be could be...

[Macbane]

Sounds like it fits together pretty well, Jedi.

It's true, the event was changed to have the event take place at edoras instead of in the dark forest like in the book. Although we still have the spirit because we will see Gandalf riding with Pippin on shadowfax in the dark forest.

[PsYkOoOoO]

right...and i still see frodo's finger its supposed to be gone right...

[JEDI_THE_WHITE]

That pic is just a rough pic, no VFX. The removing of Frodo's finger could be done digitally.

[Macbane]

I'm guessing they'll use CG to remove his finger, not actually chop it off. :p

[Mr. Frodo]

i agree jedi it would be akward to have your finger taped down while trying to act i would assume.

[PsYkOoOoO]

digitally?that might suck...

[JEDI_THE_WHITE]

Guys, could this pic be Pippin preparing to light the beacons to signal Rohan to come to the aid of Gondor???

Well, it's just the removal of a finger, I doubt that WETA would really screw up the removal of a finger. If they can create an army of 200,000 orcs, then they can easily remove a finger and make it look convicing.

It is Pippin is lighting the beacon of Gondor. it even said it was on theonering.net

[JEDI_THE_WHITE]

BOY!!!! That is going to be a sight to see when that baby is lit!!

Can U imagine what the sight will be like from rohan encampment??? To see this haunting light up in the pitch black sky. This also connects to a scene seen in the new vid, where Aragorn tells Theoden they must ride at dawn. If they see it from the camp, it does support what Aragorn says about Gondor being under attack and they must ride at dawn.

[DolAmroth]

Its not that big, I mean its not like that green light that shoots from Minas morgul. its just a small little bon fire.

[JEDI_THE_WHITE]

I have a feeling it will send chills down my spine, just to know that when the rohan see that light in the sky, the chilling realization will be that the an entire city is under siege.

I think it going to be awesome.

[DolAmroth]

Yeah espeacially when they start charing. That will be the most incredible

[glecoq]

how do you post pictures, i have one to post, but i dont know how

[JEDI_THE_WHITE]

Get the URL of your pic then put the URL between these:

[ img ] url [ /img ]

Don't use spaces like I just did...

[glecoq]

what if it is saved on my hard drive?

[Macbane]

you gotta host it somewhere first. try picturedot.com.

[glecoq]

alright...did this work. if it did, then save it to your hard drive, open it, and it should show up much larger

http://members.cox.net/oscarsights/bestpicture.htm

[JEDI_THE_WHITE]

DOL, I believe as of right now that one of the most haunting images I have seen of ROTK is the one where we see the rohirrum massing on pellenor field and in the foreground we see Minas Tirth competely ablaze.

I have said it before, to see this beautiful city, the stronghold of mankind set ablaze by the fire of saurons forces is completey haunting.

[DolAmroth]

Are you talking about this pic

http://www.elflady.com/legolasgreenleaf/rotk/trailer/images/119.jpg

Yeah it is an awesome pic, but im still wondering how there actually gunna win the battle.

[glecoq]

see, how were you able to just put the picture straight onto your post?

[JEDI_THE_WHITE]

Yeah...

[DolAmroth]

right click on an image highlight and copy its properties and then put (image's properties)

And no spaces.

[Macbane]

Dol beat me to it :p

[JEDI_THE_WHITE]

This one???

http://members.cox.net/oscarsights/images2/rotk.jpg

[glecoq]

thats it, have you all seen it before?

[Macbane]

That's not official, is it Jedi?

[DolAmroth]

No its not official

[JEDI_THE_WHITE]

No, this is fan made. It appears to be just a collage of those calendar pics. It is a nice one though.

And No Glecoq I haven't seen this. It's nice

[glecoq]

i thought it was well put together as well, but you're right, all the photos are ones we have already seen elsewhere.

[JEDI_THE_WHITE]

Yeah, it's very nice.

I would love if the final one sheet had Gandalf's quote on there some where...

Or maybe have THE JOURNEY ENDS somewhere on the one sheet.

[glecoq]

yeah, i like in the trailer how it says, "this christmas, the journey ends." with it accompanied by the speech, and the music... It's awesome.

Very nice Jedi! That looks like a very good guess.

Those pics on page 96 BTW are going to be so awesome with the digital grading added in!

[Turin Turambar]

I like that fanmade poster with Frodo holding the phial right in the center. I woulda picked a better Aragorn one if I was going to put him off to the side, though.

[Smeagol]

They are sensational pics! :applaud: I especially like the Frodo and Sam dresses as Orcs picture, although I'm not expecting much - if any - of that to be in the cinema version of the film.

However isn't it light on the slopes of Mount Doom...I would have thought that they would have shot that scene in the evening?

[adt100]

i) It's inevitable Frodo and Sam's trek with the Orcs will be in the theatrical cut, it's not something they could simply leave for the EE. Besides, after CU they don't have much screen time other than Mount Doom, so it would have been strange indeed had they cut it.

ii) If your up the side of a baron mountain like that, the film crew don't want to be working in such a narrow time frame, and so dependant on weather conditions. Most of the shots are colour graded. For example, when Legolas give his 'he is here' line to Aragorn in the trailer, it was filmed in broad daylight.

[The Moose]

that's exactly what i was thinking about that pic of Mt. Doom. we see it in the prologue as dull and brown. obviously doing colour grading.

where did those pics come from? i know that they are hosted from somewhere in the Netherlands/Holland, but are they just random pics or were they part of some publication?

[adt100]

They are from the ROTK photo guide. The Dutch version apparently (obviously not out in the shops yet).

[The Moose]

what i was thinking is why would they put unfinished shots into that?

[PsYkOoOoO]

thats probably the best fan made poster ive seen

[Wyn]

Firstly WOW amazing pictures!!!!

Well u have just answered one of my Qs which was that they looked like they were out of a book and I would have guessed the photo guide I really dont know whether to buy the guide and the other books when they come out on the 6th November i bet I wont be able to resist the temptation though lol

Secondly I`m a little confused it concerns what Aragorn says on the latest video footage on MSN and now u are saying he says that possibly when the Beacon is lit correct me if i`m wrong but surely if it sticks to the book then Aragorn would not be with the Rohirrum at that time???? should he not arrive later at MT than them?? Help anyone?? Sorry if i`ve confused u all lol

[PsYkOoOoO]

hmmm...aragorn shld be at POTD and not with the Rohirrum...thats for sure...but i totally forgot the beacon...which is why im reading the book now

[The Moose]

yep, that's right. POTD. i totally forgot about the becon. i really need to read the book again

[PsYkOoOoO]

me too...ive almost finished FOTR...

[The Moose]

i'm just gonna read over ROTK, and the bits of TTT that will be in ROTK

[adt100]

Originally posted by The Moose

Because as you know, they have been continually working on ROTK up until the deadline for delivery, which is apparently next week. The guides will have been created a while ago, and as digital grading is one of the last things to happen to the film, it's not surprising that those pictures are in like that.

Also I wouldn't expect too many 'direct from the movie' pictures in it anyway. Mor like production shots, and behind the scenes things

[Glordreen]

Im just finishing TTT and am gonna start ROTK here ina few days. Of course I have read the trilogy many times before, I just start over again when I finish. That's how amazing the books are.

http://img-nex.theonering.net/images/scrapbook/9212.jpg

The only issue I have with this is that there is a visible portcullis in front of the gates, yet it is not in place during the siege or when the Orcs attacks from footage we have seen!

Frodo and Sam in Orc armour in Mordor -

Also to note, the skies have not been digitally rendered in the Mordor shots. I'm sure the skies won't be bright and sunny.

[adt100]

Indeed bmp. I found it quite funny on a few forums I've been browsing that some people are really concerned about how 'bright and sunny' Mordor looks in these shots!

(I think they need to look at their disks 3 and 4 of the FOTR EE 1 more time :D )

[scifi guy]

I still want to know how Frodo and Sam find orc armor that fit, since all the orcs we have seen in the movies are human sized, not hobbit sized. How can the pass for orcs? if they said goblins, smaller versions of orcs, I would accept it. But they spefically say orc armor, in the books and the movie.

[adt100]

Frodo and Sam in Mordor, presumably with very little water left in that pouch. (again, the detail and make-up work is very impressive) -

If you look at the pictures you can see that the armour (both clothing and helms) are quite big on the 2 Hobbits. Also 'goblins' is just another term for Orcs, who come in all shapes and sizes. I agree that it was always a bit questionable whether they could pass as Orcs in the book, but in the dark, with that armour I think it's possible. We're not talking about Urak-hai that would be the size of a large adult male.

I'm glad that Elrond's sons seem to make an appearence, although someone over at TORn claims that they have seen a photo from the ROTK Visual Companion in which Arwen is sitting with Elrond as Narsil is presented to Aragorn. :mad:

WOw those are awesome
