It's supposed to play in front of "Secondhand Lions" here in the US. I'm guess that this, being the first trailer, won't be as revealing as the second trailer will be.

But, we shall see.

They did... it was a little 10 minute preview thingie, like they did on the FOTR DVD for TTT. (Which was very cool... Pelannor Fields and the siege of Minas Tirith are going to makes Helm's Deep look like happy-action-fun-time.) I thing everyone is mearly hoping to see something new in the trailer that wasn't in the preview on the DVD.

I know... it's still going to playing in front of this film, because it's the major release from New Line right now.

The drawback is that, because it's up to individual theatres to change their preview reels, there's no guarentee that it'll play in front of the film if you go to a theatre with lazy projector operators.

Yeah, Secondhand Lions was released a week early here because it finished early, but the ROTK trailer is still starting when it would have normally opened. :)

As for me, I'll just find it by other means... ;)

Saw it with Once Upon a Time in Mexico. Too spoiler-y, but a lot better than the TTT one.

I found a rip of it... not bad... a little bit difficult to see, so I'll probably grab the official online release next week.

Content-wise... looks very good.

Forget the fact that a book containing the contents of the movie was released ages ago. :p

I still haven't seen TTT. I'll probably just wait and watch my brother's DVD, then go see ROTK when it's in theaters.

But what book readers NEED to watch a trailer? They don't need convincing, do they? The non-readers get affected though.

Sorry, but the book argument really raises my hackles. LotR may be more common on your bookshelf than the bible or an encyclopedia, but its not a movie prerequisite, folks.

He was just making a point about spoilers for people who HAVE read the books. I think. ^_^;

I guess I was the only one put off by the TTT spot...though mainly due to the music than the actual content.

Requiem for a Dream in any form, makes bile rise in my throat.

Keep in mind too, there will probably be another trailer released in November to give the hype a little bit of a booster shot. I've found that the second trailer for both FOTR and TTT was better than the first one. So, we may yet get more visual goodness before the film hits theatres in December.

I was making a joke, actually.

It was loosely based on the fact that it is difficult to spoil a movie which has been a part of popular culture in book form for many years, especially since many people went out and read all three LOTR books back when the first movie was released. :)

So hackles down, boy.

I didn't, and have no plans to do so. Therefore, its pretty easy to spoil.

You'd be suprised:

A - How easy it has been to know NOTHING about LOTR.

B - How many I've met who have never read a full LOTR novel.
