The One Ring.net has a snippet of the Return of the King trailer, released today. Their download page is understandably getting hammered, so I figured I’d mirror the QuickTime file here [since removed], on my site. The file was recorded off E! and the brief glimpse is mainly dialogue scenes.Apparently, the trailer will debut online on AOL over the weekend. I’ll see if I can share that too, although it will be readily available at the official site on Monday. (I guess my laziness pays off, since, after seeing version 9, I’ve been intending to drop AOL for a while.) [11:24 AM]
Update: TheOneRing.net has a complete copy of the trailer available for download, from some overseas video source. I’m downloading my copy as I type. However, I’m at work, and my fear is the link will be shut down before I can get home and download the file there! (And it’s too big to simply e-mail.) [3:59 PM]
Update update: Just looked at it. It appears to be only 2/5s of it. I’ve tried downloading it again, but it appears 10 MBs is all I can get. Still, what I’ve seen looks pretty cool.
P.S. Wouldn’t the accent mark Tolkien uses in “Sméagol” make the name three syllables? Every time I hear it, in the movies and in the radio play, it’s pronounced “Smee-gill”.
P.P.S. Same goes for “Glóin” too. But they followed that for the Rohan names though (Théoden, Éomer, Éowyn).
