Return Of The King Footage From E3
Arathorn writes "TheOneRing.net has a Quicktime movie up of just over a minute's worth of live footage from Return of The King , as shown at E3. The quality's pretty abysmal, but it gives a much-needed taster of what RoTK's going to look like. The soundtrack (such as it is) is from the final act of The Two Towers." Update: 05/21 18:47 GMT by T : Reader Adam Roben has set up a BitTorrent session as well.
For the novelization!!! I hope it's as good as the movie.
Okay. Why is 'T' capitalized, but not 'o'? Don't capitalization rules stipulate that both short prepositions and articles begin with lowercase letters in titles? Normally I wouldn't gripe about this, but we're trying to make a new acronym here. Let't not screw it up!
The goatse guy for president. Win one for the gaper!
More like the worst.
COOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL!!! AAAUUUUUGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH. I. CAN. NOT. WAIT. Seriously, this trilogy has been freakin' awesome. Peter Jackson and a few other directors, like Bryan Singer, have captured their subjects about as well as could be expected from big budget movie studios. I know the all caps post above is overly enthusiastic, but I don't think many would disagree that for a long, long time, there's been little to be very excited about, movie-wise.

Fading in and out of poor quality images of faces we know from the previous movies. Zooming through New Zeealand landscape. Some bows aiming upwards. Riding through the forest on Shadowfax.
And it ends with some crappy looking fighting by Gandalf that HAS to be from the video game, or I would kill myself watching that on a big screen.

It mentioned this being a "spoiler" on the website,but who the fuck hasn't read the book?

lot of good THAT did us!
It might look like I'm standing motionless, but I'm actively waiting for my problems to go away
Oh yeah, like something from Britney Spears? Maybe Jackson should have just stepped aside and let George Lucas screw the movie up for him?
Go back to your Star Wars, Hollywood f00l.
Ummm... Somebody tell this poor dude that we are talking about a movie..
Also while you are at it, tell him that Saddam is not tying up with Sauron to kill the infidels and anyone who plagiarize the book including Peter Jackson

I didn't see any glimpse of the new character in there so it must not be the trailer I've seen.
Also while you are at it, tell him that Saddam is not tying up with Sauron to kill the infidels
Hm. Saddam. Sauron. Saddam. Sauron.
"The Evil One's power is again rising", Secretary of State Colin Powell told a stunned press conference Monday. "Saddam was defeated, but he is not dead." As the Secretary mentioned the name "Saddam", an ice cold wind seemed to enter the room, and an unexpected, brief solar eclipse occurred.
"Could someone close the windows please? Anyway, to finally defeat him, the Fellowship must go to Mount Doom just outside of Tikrit and throw the One Ring into the hellish fire that burns eternal there, vanquishing Saddam forever."
"The Fellowship being the Ringbearer-President George Bush, his trusty aide Dick Cheney, the mighty warrior Donald Rumsfeld who will give his life to defend the Ringbearer, and myself, who shall never be King. Probably never."
"And, oh, Paul Wolfowitz listened in at our briefing so he gets to tag along to."
"It will be a long, hard, perillous journey, on foot, but it is the only way."
A strange, crouching shadow bearing an uncanny resemblance to Attorney General John Ashcroft was seen crawling in the shadows behind the Secretary, muttering "My Precious"...

Dude, you shouldn't have left. That part of the movie was later revealed to be a dream.
