(Aw, he’s not heavy, he’s my Frodo, man.) Since they look so grand and since this space has seemed mighty empty of late, here’s the new RotK teaser posters (to go with the Aragorn one released a few months ago.) Enjoy.
It’s Getting Heavier…

Here Comes the Bride.
The teaser poster for Kill Bill (pt. I) makes it online. More appealing than the first trailer, at any rate. Also, in movie news, the trailer for Matrix: Revolutions is now available in Quicktime. I haven’t seen it yet, but word is it’s similar to the footage from Enter the Matrix.
Fractured Mirror.
Shut him up or shut him down.
Speaking of Chewbacca, Rick McCallum seems to be spilling a lot of Episode III knowledge these days, including who dies in the first reel and who (sigh) doesn’t die. Megaspoilers, if you care.
Good Namor Hunting.
Matt Damon as the Sub-Mariner? No, no, no…that’s just plain goofy.
Ditch the Speeder.
TF.N gets a first look at Episode III Obi-Wan…and his ride. Help us make Ep. 3 decent, Ewan, you’re our only hope.
The other franchises.
Lost in the hubbub over yesterday’s RotK footage were these two fanboy nuggets: the new Spiderman 2 poster and lots of new shots from Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkhaban. Well, ok then.
Just a Fool’s Hope…
A special treat today…At long last, a Return of the King trailer! Judging from the lines and the lack of New Line stamp at the beginning, this looks to be the trailer included on the theatrical version of the Two Towers DVD, to be released August 26. And it looks GREAT!
Update: They’ve stolen the preciousss! Fortunately, I was one of the lucky ones who obtained a copy before New Line dropped the hammer. ‘Tis really a beauteous thing.
Update 2: I’m getting a number of e-mails from people asking me to send them the trailer. This won’t happen. My advice is (a) go here or here, (b) if they don’t work, check out the comments in this AICN thread for a new location (beware major spoilers), and/or (c) fire up Kazaa.
Avast!
For those of you desiring more creaky ships and cannon broadsides in the wake of Pirates of the Caribbean, the trailer for Master and Commander is now online. Speaking of Pirates, its success has helped make Johnny Depp the frontrunner for Tim Burton’s Willy Wonka remake. (Michael Keaton, another Burton favorite, had been previously rumored as the lead.) I say, if you’re going to do it, Depp’s the best bet.
Taller Towers.
“The land had changed. Where before the green dale had lain, its grassy slopes lapping the ever-mounting hills, there now a forest loomed.” A lucky AICN spy from down under has seen the extended Two Towers, and he’s compiled a list of the major additions to the film. Massive spoilers here…spoilers that make me very happy.
