Elves going west, Bilbo writing, Isildur in trouble, and Gollum on a log(!), and that’s just the Fellowship stuff. TORN.net gets their hands on tons of precious stills from The Two Towers and the extended Fellowship [Spoilers, and, if you’re keeping score, give yourself ten points.]

The One Ring posts some new info on TTT that includes some considerable spoilers, even for people who’ve read the books.
A Perfect Elevensies Treat.
One cake to rule them all. (Via Lots of Co. and Mermaniac.)
Mmmm…Full Screen.
No more hunting on Kazaa…the Two Towers trailer goes live.

Ian McKellen checks in from the TTT reshoots at his official site.
Third time’s the charm?
Not to be completely overshadowed by the TTT teaser (more mirror sites here), Lucas drops some Episode III tidbits. Looks like chances of the last one being better than the past one are steadily slipping away.
Aw, yeah, baby.
There is a union now between the Two Towers, Orthanc and Barad-dur… Update: The new TTT teaser is available here, although you’ll have much better luck downloading it from Kazaa. (I did.) For those of you who’ve also been watching the flickery bootleg of the post-Fellowship preview over and over again, there’s not much different here (other than a Galadriel voiceover, slightly more Grima, and a few new lines.) Gollum’s clearly had more work done on him, though. You can see it in theaters in front of MIB2 July 3.
There’s no snow in Mordor…
PJ and the WETA crew hose down the land of shadow for Two Towers reshoots.
It is a gift…let us use it.
Details emerge on the extended version of Fellowship, due out on DVD November 12. Of course I’m extremely psyched about the extra thirty minutes, but couldn’t they have put the original version on one of the discs too? Ah, well.
