Image Spoiler Thread: The Two Towers

[Fatty]

Well pu tup the first load from the fullscreen trailer. See them here (http://warofthering.net/movies/photos/afirstlook/)

[Keverzwijn]

The mumak has 4 teeth, I don't know how to call them in English. Tou know, the ivor stuff...pointy.

[Illuvatar]

WHOO HOO!! :whoohoo: :whoohoo: :whoohoo:

All Right Fatty!!! notworthy notworthy notworthy

Fatty Fatty he's our man, if he can't do it, no one can!!! lol

Outstanding job my friend!

[TheRingBearer]

I thought that Mumak was the Oiliphant :rolleyes: lol

[Bonos-Girl]

do you mean tusks?

[Hans_Schuder]

It's a 6 tusker actually. Someone on another forum pointed out the two very much smaller tusks above the two huge main tusks. Mumak amazing!

[Sindarin]

The CG Gollum looks great! :thumbs:

[TheRingBearer]

Yeah, Gollum will rock

[Fatty]

What do you think folks should we enable image posting in this thread, so if you find an image you can post it and so we can discuss them etc?

[Catz]

yeah i think thats a good idea Fatty....itd be nice to be able to see what were talking about...;)
:catz:

[Bonos-Girl]

mmm...at the moment i don't have a clue so i'm having to imagine it.

[TheRingBearer]

Yeah do it Fatty :thumbs:

[Legolas]

yeah, enable pics



i can't wait for this movie

this site is hazardous to my health

[Eowyn]

yup! we want pictures

mumak looks so good! :grin:

[Fatty]

Hmm well lets see if it works. You know we had to take down old treebeard at New Lines request, here is another. This is from Weta's new range of medallions.
http://warofthering.net/images/newsimages/med_large13.jpg

Looks cool, I have them all so far. Signed up to the collector thing. Sad I know but..............

And Mumaks here we go 6 tusks or 5?



http://www.warofthering.net/movies/photos/tttspecial/images/finaltr0199.jpg

[Bonos-Girl]

whoa...thats so much scarier than i imagined.....aaaarrrrrgggghhhh...*scampers off to hide*

[TheRingBearer]

It looks to have 4 tusks as the top two appear to be part of the 'carridge' thingy.

[Legolas]

i like this shot
http://warofthering.net/movies/photos/afirstlook/images/ttt0138.jpg

[Nessa]

roflmao roflmao roflmao

Sorry! *wipes tears* That pic makes me giggle....... the next one is better.

The mumak is incredible! Can't wait to see those in action. ;)

[TheRingBearer]

That explosion in the wall of helms deep looks great, little bodies go flying hehehe ;) but I can't help wondering what would cause an explosion? :huh: its not as if they have bombs or anything lol

[Keverzwijn]

There were explosions in the book, Saruman had discovered gunpowder.

[Adamenta]

That Mumak thing must be damn hugh, cause those riding it look really, really small.
Watching the trailer and seeing those Wargs, I had to crack up; oversized Guinea Pigs did come to mind. :( :( Not my fault. Some person on another forum dumped this image inside my head.
In slo mo, though, they look pretty villainous and wicked, so its made all the difference.:thumbs:

[Gowpon]

Guys! Look closly and you can see Leggy standing in the back!!! It is right when Theodon says "I will not risk open war"

http://warofthering.net/movies/photos/afirstlook/imagepages/image78.shtml

[Fatty]

More goodies just out.

http://www.warofthering.net/images/newsimages/wormtongue.jpg

http://www.warofthering.net/images/newsimages/gandalf.jpg

http://www.warofthering.net/images/newsimages/eowyn.jpg

I like Gandalf's brooch, and nasty Grima with his hanky. What a sickly character :grin:

[Catz]

what? no comment about Eowyn, Fatty?:naughty: ;) :angel:
god yes.....doesnt Brad Dourif look disGUSTing....uuurrggghhh
:catz:

[Undomiel]

that pic of Eowyn-it's just how i imagined her in the book. except i thought they would all have blonder hair. I guess coz they've made the elves pretty much all blonde the had to make the Rohirrims' hair less blonde (if you see what i mean). Still, amazing pics. There isnt much point in me putting any of mine on coz i got them all from this site lol

[TheRingBearer]

Great, they all look how they should be :thumbs:

Woah! I thought that was TreeBeard for some absurd reason!

[Smaugger]

If you look at wormtoung you can see a sacar or something on his lip!:naughty:

[Pil]

Yeah...he's all bumpy and dirty and ew! :o

The COMPLETE opposite of leggy...and that's how it should be...

Anyway...i would just like to ask...what's going on here...?

http://warofthering.net/movies/photos/afirstlook/imagepages/image180.shtml

[Bonos-Girl]

i know..he looks like he got his lip pierced or something!!

[Polly Sandybanks]

That Mumak. I thought that was the Oliphaunt for some reason. Looks like it. :)

[Pil]

ok.......i dunno where THAT came from... :huh: lol

i meant...why is sam reaching down frodo's top...?! lol

[Nessa]

http://warofthering.net/movies/photos/afirstlook/imagepages/image180.shtml

My theory is Frodo was struggling with temptation from the ring, and Sam was reaching to pull his hand away from it. :grin:

Polly, Mumaks and oliphaunts are one and the same. ;)

[Bonos-Girl]

ermm....i HOPE thats what was happening....*struggles to drag her mind out of the gutter*

[Ephel Duath]

isnt that picture to do wiv shelob?or maybe we r all right in thinking its got sum continuation of sams fascination wiv frodos chest in fotr wen he shows the mithril.
sam-"oh, its beautiful!"stroke,stroke
aragorn-"whats that sam?"
sam-"oh, er the mithril, yes the mithril.ahem"
lollollollollollollollollollol

[Undomiel]

lollollollol hehe. i agree with nessa about the ring temptation thingy. i assume that's what it is.

[Quickbeam15]

FATTY WILL WE SEE TREEBEARD FIGHT!!!!!!


WILL THE HOURNS FIGHT AT HELMS DEEP!!!!!















I WANNA KNOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Tar-Ancalimë]

OK... wow... calm down.

I have already answered your auestions to the best of my ablility numerous times in different locations. Here they are again: Originally posted by Quickbeam15
WILL WE SEE TREEBEARD FIGHT!!!!!!
Probably not! We think they aren't going to show Isengard being destroyed... and anyway, Treebeard doesn't exactly fight...WILL THE HOURNS FIGHT AT HELMS DEEP!!!!! no I don't think they are showing Huorns.















I WANNA KNOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! [/B][/QUOTE]

[Fatty]

The simple answer is we don't know. From what we do know we will not see the destruction of Isengard live. Certainly the aftermath and perhaps some flash backs. Personally I think it is a pity as the scene had great cinematic potential. THough who knows we have been thrown off before.

Huorns as Tar says, I doubt. None of the vendors have any products based on huorns so I doubt they made it...............

[Catz]

Ouickbeam.......i know youre excited about this, we all are...and everyone is willing to attempt to answer your questions, within reason. But there are some things we just dont know. And please, dont keep asking the same things over and over, OK?
thanks,
:catz:

[TheRingBearer]

Yeah, its like i said. We'll have to wait and see ;)

[Gowpon]

I have a question...
Even if we are not going to see Treebeard and his gang fighting, are we going to see the flood?:grin:

[Fatty]

Yes I think we will see Isengard flooded............maybe not the flood itself, if you get my meaning..........but we cannot be sure yet. :-)

[Bonos-Girl]

we just want to be able to have some peaxe, and if you've already had a question answered then you surely don't need it again.

[Quickbeam15]

Huh?

If you people want me to go I will...


But I dont want to go comeon....can't we all get along??

[Bonos-Girl]

we don't want you to go at all...sorry if you misunderstood my message but i wsa just saying that if you'd already asked a question then you shouldn't need to ask it again. I don't mind particularly but some people do.

[Catz]

Quickbeam.....we love having you around ...and we love answering your questions...but i have to keep these forums for everybody, ok?
so while we dont want to have to keep going over the same stuff.....were all only too happy to answer any new questions you may have, if we can, OK?:thumbs: :cool:
ok back to the topic i think lol
as for the Huorns at Helms Deep....in the book they just surrounded the area, and any orcs that went among them disappeared.....they also buried the dead...
:catz:

[Quickbeam15]

Ok...so the Huorns berry the dead elves and men?

How about the orcs?

[Grond]

Originally posted by Quickbeam15

How about the orcs? The Huorns didn't bury dead elves and men. That was done by the survivors of Helm's Deep in a great mound. The Huorn's single-handedly destroyed most of Saruman's Orc army which was waiting outside of Helm's Deep. from The Two Towers, Helm's Deep
The land had changed. Where before the green dale had lain, its grassy slopes lapping the ever-mounting hills, there now a forest loomed. Great trees, bare and silent, stood, rank on rank, with tangled bough and hoary head; their twisted roots were buried in the long green grass. Darkness was under them. Between the Dike and the eaves of that nameless wood only two open furlongs lay. There now cowered the proud hosts of Saruman, in terror of the king and in terror of the trees. They streamed down from Helm's Gate until all above the Dike was empty of them, but below it they were packed like swarming flies. Vainly they crawled and clambered about the walls of the coomb. seeking to escape. Upon the east too sheer and stony was the valley's side; upon the left, from the west, their final doom approached...

...The hosts of Isengard roared, swaying this way and that, turning from fear to fear. Again the horn sounded from the tower. Down through the breach of the Dike charged the king's company. Down from the hills leaped Erkenbrand, lord of Westfold. Down leaped Shadowfax, like a deer that runs
surefooted in the mountains. The White Rider was upon them, and the terror of his coming filled the enemy with madness. The wild men fell on their faces before him. The Orcs reeled and screamed and cast aside both sword and spear. Like a black smoke driven by a mounting wind they fled. Wailing they
passed under the waiting shadow of the trees; and from that shadow none ever came again.

[Grond]

That Mumak. I thought that was the Oliphaunt for some reason. Looks like it. :) As you can see from the following quote... Mumak = Oliphant.from The Two Towers, Of Herbs and Strewed Rabbit
'Ware! Ware!' cried Damrod to his companion. 'May the Valar turn him aside! Mumak! Mumak!'

To his astonishment and terror, and lasting delight, Sam saw a vast shape crash out of the trees and come careering down the slope. Big as a house, much bigger than a house, it looked to him, a grey-clad moving hill. Fear and wonder, maybe, enlarged him in the hobbit's eyes, but the Mumak of Harad was indeed a beast of vast bulk, and the like of him does not walk now in Middle-earth; his kin that live still in latter days are but memories of his girth and majesty. On he came, straight towards the watchers, and then swerved aside in the nick of time, passing only a few yards away, rocking the ground beneath their feet: his great legs like trees, enormous sail-like ears spread out, long snout upraised like a huge serpent about to strike,. his small red eyes raging. His upturned hornlike tusks were bound with bands of gold and dripped with blood. His trappings of scarlet and gold flapped
about him in wild tatters. The ruins of what seemed a very war-tower lay upon his heaving back, smashed in his furious passage through the woods; and high upon his neck still desperately clung a tiny figure-the body of a mighty warrior, a giant among the Swertings.

[TheRingBearer]

I'm glad that's cleared up. I was getting a bit confused myself.

[Catz]

whoops....heheheh:blush: i plead minor brain fade there lol lol
thanks for the correction Grond....dunno what the heck i was thinking:rolleyes: lol
:catz:

[Quickbeam15]

Thanks Catz!

Hope we get to see them.

[Eärendil]

TTT trailer was good. They had wargs, orcs, and all the upcoming dudes :)

[Hans_Schuder]

Hee Hee It was pretty cool! :) I thought it was interesting that there's a clip in the trailer that shows a few Rohirrim moving among a carpet of dead bodies, arrows covering the ground, and you can tell they're on the bank of a shallow stretch of running water. Looks like the Crossings of the Isen and the aftermath of the battle fought there. Maybe they're looking for Theodred's body?

[Fatty]

Yes could be I know the clip you mean Hans.

By the way folks this is an image spoiler thread. You are supposed to post images in it. Preferably new ones ;-)

Fatty

[TheRingBearer]

Aren't you the one with the new pics ;)

[Fatty]

:) LOL well sometimes, but the idea is they can get posted in here too and then discussed. :-) You can use th IMG button to insert photos etc. Though don't put huge ones in the thread.
http://www.warofthering.net/images/newsimages/whitedwarf.jpg

[Undomiel]

oooo that's a gr8 one

[Lady Ashley]

Great pic! Almost the Golden Hall, perhaps! I see Leggy with his quiver off. Oh, look! You can see Gimli's axe over Legolas's left shoulder! I wondered for a second where our dear Dwarf had gotten off to! lol

[TheRingBearer]

Cool I aint seen that one before :thumbs:

[Quickbeam15]

One question....wher and when does gannydalf fight?

[Bonos-Girl]

sorry quickbeam..i'm not ignoring you but......
lady ashley..i didn't know where gimli had gone either till you pointed out his axe...obviously not very observant today!! lol
leggy looks great...as usual!!! roflmao

[TheRingBearer]

Oh I can see Gimli nowl.
And Quickbeam Gandalf should ride into Helm's Deep with the Riders of Rohan as backup for the fighters... I think thats right. It's been a while. lol

[Quickbeam15]

Is that all Gandalf fights?
Do he not fight anywhere else??

[TheRingBearer]

Unless they show him fighting the Balrog (which they do), then yeah

[Quickbeam15]

Does he actually fight at helms? rohan?
isengard?

[Tar-Ancalimë]

dont think so... noooo... and NOOO he doesn't (to all your q's)

[Quickbeam15]

Okkkkkkkkkkkkkk same to u.

[Narsil's weilder]

If you wanna see some good spoilers play the PS2 game. It shows Helm's deep when the orcs flood the inner chambers and Aragon with Thoeden charge them out of the caves!

[Fatty]

It sure does :-)

Check the main page for video and more images. :-)

[Keverzwijn]

I like those images but I'm not going to look at the video, I'm already spoiled enough.

[TheRingBearer]

Nice. The game does actually look quite good. Shame I don't have a PS2 lol

[Keverzwijn]

****** (darn, it wasn't even a bad word, I just said ****** not **** or something like that) I looked at the video dispite my strong will. AND I LIKED IT!!:grin:

[Fatty]

LOL Keverzwijn..it is hard to resist. think of us we don't get a choice we have to look at them to put them up )-: ;-)

[Keverzwijn]

oh, you poor man. Yes, think of all the goodies and footage that you get to see before everyone else. No, serious I appreciate your work. You're a nice guy.

[Undomiel]

http://www.lordoftherings.net/film/exclusives/poster/images/poster.jpg

I hope this works- what i want to know-WHERE are Merry and Pippin????????????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Fatty]

Yes its an odd one. I mean its soso. Odd compostion with that big moon. Hmmm

[Keverzwijn]

bwah it aint bad, but the composition could be better. by that I mean the way the characters are arranged on the poster. I reaaly liked the Argonath poster. That rocked.

[Fatty]

Check these out: http://www.warofthering.net/movies/photos/brandnewttt/

[Fatty]

Poor Little Pippin!
http://www.warofthering.net/movies/photos/brandnewttt/images/ttt-7-360.jpg

[Undomiel]

awwww. :( those pictures are fantastic-really good.
as for the poster I'm not that keen on it-i feel like they left some important characters off. One good thing though-Aragorn looks gorgeous :)

[Lady Ashley]

eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeekkkkkkkkkkkkk

DERN ELROND AND ARWEN IN TTT!!!!!!!!!!!! But DUDE, those are some GREAT pics, anyway!

[Keverzwijn]

I like those pics, there very nice.

[Keverzwijn]

Here's an interesting pic, it shows Merry and Pippin on the ground so it should be when they're with the uruk-hai right. It don't see any uruk-hai, but their is a man on the backgrund. Where is this??

Here's the link, I'd tried to post it but I don't know how.
http://www.warofthering.net/movies/photos/brandnewttt/imagepages/image17.shtml

[Nessa]

That does look like a man in the background! Weird.......

Regarding the Two Towers Poster: Its decent. At least they made Frodo seem of some importance, although Sam is ridiculously small and Merry and Pippin don't seem to be there at all! Arwen is MUCH too large, (but Legolas is nice and out of the way...... hee hee)

[Lady Ashley]

Out of the way? Tsk tsk.

And yeah, there's a Man in the background in the pic of Merry. another one of those accidental things? Like the mondern device in Legolas's "Horses" picture.

[PippaUK]

could we see that pic of legolas? sounds interesting

[Keverzwijn]

http://www.warofthering.net/movies/photos/visialcomttt/images/FrodoSamGollum%2520Kopie.jpg

Can you guys see this, if it doesn't work out, could a mod make the pic visible cuz it's really worth it. I'll post the link again so you can see it anyway. http://www.warofthering.net/movies/photos/visialcomttt/imagepages/image14.shtml

It is a shot of Gollum and I think it is just amazing. This must be the best piece of CGI I have ever seen. At first I didn't like Gollum as he was looking in the trailer but this is pure magic. I almost fainted when I saw it. I can't believe this, I could ramble on forever about this pic. I'm so freaking hyped about the movie that I am about to have a seizure. I really should stop now and put my head in the freezer. UNBELIEVABLE STUNNING PICTURE

[Lady Ashley]

I mnow! Gollum looks SO REAL! I can barely tell that that's not an actor, but a real person....Gosh, thumbs up to PJ's CG team!

CAN YOU BELIEVE THE TREEBEARD AND HOBBIT PIC??? ME LOVE TREEBEARD!!! He's too cool. He's gotta be one of the most interesting people of Middle-Earth.

But what's that Arwen pic about? That's her dress from the new Fellowship scene, leaving Rivendell. Unless she's trying to wear her clothes more than once, perhaps a SE pic got mixed it!

I was freaking out myself at these new pictures. *glares at clock that holds her prisoner in school for about two more hours* *can't wait to save pics at home*

[Keverzwijn]

I'm back, still overhyped, the freezer didn't help. Here are some more stunning pics that we should discuss.
http://www.warofthering.net/movies/photos/visialcomttt/images/Eowyn2%2520Kopie.jpg
First of all, who is this kid, it's the second time I see her/him (the hair is confusing). I read somewhere that it's Dernhelm but that wouldn't make sense cuz Dernhelm is eowyn. Puzzling


http://www.warofthering.net/movies/photos/visialcomttt/images/Treebeard%2520Kopie.jpg
Hrum Hoom I like the way he looks nuff said

http://www.warofthering.net/movies/photos/visialcomttt/images/Theoden%2520old2%2520Kopie.jpg
This is very nice, Theoden looks really old and sick.

So what do you think?

[Fatty]

Ye sthey look great. To post images you have to put the actual image url in the img tags. Not the page, so http://www.warofthering.net/movies/photos/visialcomttt/images/Eowyn2%2520Kopie.jpg rather than the html.

Like this

http://www.warofthering.net/movies/photos/visialcomttt/images/Eowyn2%2520Kopie.jpg

[Keverzwijn]

Darn, Could you fix mine, fatty?

[Illuvatar]

Oh...and the best way to get the proper link for the pics is to right click on the image and select Properties. That will give you the proper path to put into the IMG button. ;)

[Fatty]

Fixed your post Ker,

This looks crazy stuff.
http://www.warofthering.net/movies/photos/visialcomttt/images/Treebeard2%2520Kopie.jpg

What will be intersting is Treebeard's gait and movement.

[Keverzwijn]

Thank you very much. I'll try to remember. So what do you think about the pics. I'm also very interested in the movement of the CGI's. If you think about it, the latest trailer really sucked. I wasn't impressed at all. But this :grin: :elfeek: :thumbs:
P.S. TORN still hasn't noticed these pics on the internet, I guess they're asleep. Nice scoop for you guys.

[Bess the Bard]

The Gollum picture blew me away. notworthy I kept thinking it must be a puppet or something because each hair on the head is 3-dimensional. I know Gollum is supposed to CG but are we sure in some really close-up shots there isn't a real prosthesis or something? If this is CG, the technology bar has just been raised through the roof, ....heck, the ionosphere. notworthy

Gollum looks so real, so fantastic, that Frodo looks a little unreal.

And Treebeard--I am speechless. :whoohoo:

When I was looking at the pictures, I felt like was on a caffein high, I felt so jazzed. I am way too obsessed with this movie! I'm a soccer mom, for heaven's sake. :blush:

Totters off to have nice cup of cocoa and drool over these pictures some more.

[Undomiel]

o i'm dead upset. I was trying not to look at Treebeard pics and i've stumbled on them by mistake-AAAAARRRRRRRRRRGGGGHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm so annoyed-i should have thought more carefully. Anyway, I think he looks so cool. As for that pic of Theoden, i htink it's good except that i really dont think the messy hair was necessary. I mean he would have had servants to brush it and stuff. Other that that though :thumbs:

[TheRingBearer]

OMG. That's the first proper pic I've seen of Treebeard and it blew me away. And what can I say about the Gollum pic. I knew he looked great from the trailer but seeing this still pic in context with an actor is simply stunning :thumbs: :thumbs: :thumbs:

And need to cool down also *starts hyper inflating* lol

[A! Elbereth]

Unreal? :huh: Please elaborate further

[Lady Ashley]

where'd you guys find these pics?

[A! Elbereth]

Fatty found them... they were on the front page but he was told to remove them, I suppose. They were there about 10 minutes ago - sorry, hun.

[Fatty]

Well somone posted them on COE, scanned fromt he book which is out tomorrow. The Visual companion. I have ahd to remove all links to them as Houfton miffen are not too happy.

Personally I thought it would only make peopel want the book. But they thiink otherwise so fair enough.

I have soem more images from a differnt source goign up soon. These one swill ahve to be removed tonight I am afraid otherwise we might face legal action. Rather amusingly New Line were not concerned. Very odd situation.

But we like to comply with people's wishes and are sure they know best what might effect their product.

[Adunauriel]

Dern those Houfton miffen people. They probably don't want people to see them so you'll have to go buy the book. Stingy peoplepfbbt

[Tar-Ancalimë]

ah Fatty... you took down the links... but does that mean you are going to take down the pics? because they are still up...

[Lady Ashley]

lol I hope no one minds that I've saved the pics on my puter...don't worry, I won't be selling them or doing things like that. Just looking at them!

[Bess the Bard]

A! Elbereth, I was going to go back to the picture to be able to explain it better, but of course the picture is now gone. I meant that Gollum just looked so vivid--Frodo seemed to be backlit in the scene and he looked less real than Gollum. Now memory has faded a little and I can't explain any better. Sorry.

[Nessa]

I think I know what you mean, Bess, it his incredibly impossible beauty. ;) I'm sure Elbereth knows, too. lol

Sigh. Missed the pictures of course. I'll have to wait until the book comes out....... so I can flip through it in the store and then not buy it. Mwah-hah.

Gollum, huh? Bah. verymad :grin:

[A! Elbereth]

Dang.... I should have saved that picture. Nessa has stated why above me.... he's just too gorgeous - even when he's on the verge of killing someone :elfeek: lol :loveyou:

[Lady Ashley]

if anyone would like me to send any of the new pics, I have them saved...just PM me your email and we'll get you set right up!

[Quickbeam15]

Will there be more ent pics from the book creatures of middile earth?

[Fatty]

Hi QB, no as far as I know jus tth etwo photos we have seen.

[Aragorn68]

Very Cool, out of the latest trailer, eh? I can't wait to see the Ents as well as Aragorn receiving Anduril.....I have a pic of him holding it somewhere....not the best quality. Anyone have more info on this? This is one key area that the films differ from the books. We all know that in the book, Strider gets Anduril in Rivendell before setting out with the fellowship; later in Lothlorien, he is given a bejeweled scabbard with Anduril in gems on its length. ;)

[Quickbeam15]

Can anyone clarify this?

[Lady Melody]

Okay, firstly, I think the Oliphaunt looks more like an elephant than what it's supposed to be. Isn't Oliophaunts supposed to walk on two feet or something like it?

Conderning the Lady Arwen's pic being too darn large, it's the oldest trick in showbiz, get the hottest chick's pic on the darn poster, and both guys and gals would flock just the see them...regardless on what the film focuses on actually...

Posters that surprisingly suck at making the charactors and background make sense, over-creative people without research... boo...

Well, I'm looking damn foward to the movie, and also I'm saving up for DVDs....

[Lady Ashley]

no...as far as Oliphaunts walking on two feet...where'd you read THAT? they're basically elephaunts, who walk on FOUR feet.

Oh, I also have the Legolas and lembas photo among my many pics, for anyone who'd like to see it.

[A! Elbereth]

Oh yes... the Legolas and Lembas pic... made me laugh hysterically because the grin on his face is plain unnatural lol lol

[Lady Ashley]

Awww....I love the pic. He looks so happy and in awe. *grin* It's so rare when Orlie as Legolas smiles. It lights up his face, though those pics of him simply staring into the camera are *melts* yummmy.....

[Kalimac]

Has anyone seen the new Two Towers Topps cards? Would love to see some scans of them . . . if anyones willing.

Here's an example of the Topps Trading cards. They just released 90 movie cards from the Two Towers. Just wondering if anyone here had seen them yet.

[Kalimac]

I just saw an outstanding card of Frodo covered in spider webs . . . also a cool one with Frodo in pain in front of Faramir . . as soon as I can put them up I'll do it. There were also some familiar scenes . . . wow . . there are 90 of these. :o

[Kalimac]

As promised!

[A! Elbereth]

AHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WANT NEED!!!!!! PICTURES OF FRODO!!! AHHHH! *cough*

I must know where I can get these cards!!! WHERE !?!?!?!

And where are there more of these????

[TheRingBearer]

Wow, this film is gonna rock. Look how concerned Faramir looks towards Frodo. That's more like the Faramir we know :)

[A! Elbereth]

http://www.warofthering.net/movies/photos/verylatesttttphotos/imagepages/image26.shtml Its the sewers!!!!!!!!!!!! AHHHHHH


And look at this! I heard from a little bird that Faramir accidently twists Frodo's wrist, and that's why he's favoring it.... but some birdies are liars, who knows?http://www.warofthering.net/movies/photos/verylatesttttphotos/imagepages/image22.shtml

(Probably should have just given them tortillas)

[Undomiel]

noo, that's it!!! Faramir would never do that surely????

[A! Elbereth]

I don't know.... but I've been hearing it everywhere

[Kazren]

I didn't realize you were all here. I thought the WotR.net was only on mIRC - so I'm glad to find you here where Fatty feels so at home (though I hope he'll visit over at CoE).

[Fatty]

Hi Kazren, glad to see you here. The forum has been up since day one. Maybe I need to promote it more or something. But I am always over at COE, in our favourite thread :-) Have fun here.

[Kalimac]

http://www.warofthering.net/movies/photos/verylatesttttphotos/imagepages/image22.shtml

If you look closely at Frodo's hand it appears that he is holding the Ring. I don't think Faramir has twisted his hand at all . . I think that this is the start of Frodo's reaction to Faramir or anyone trying to take the Ring from him. I think this is an internal struggle and the Topps card is the final result. Faramir is witnessing this process, not physically instigating it. ;)

There are more Topps cards at TOrN. They also have the back commentary for the Possession of Frodo card:

I've said it before and i'll say it again: This film will be amazing. Isn't that the pool where Gollum hides (I can't quite remember as I haven't read it in a while ;) )

[Nessa]

I believe the incredible shot in the middle is Henneth Anun, The Window on the West. I suppose that makes the pool beneath the Forbidden Pool, but I am shamefully unlearned.

Lembas! veryhappy

And another open-mouthed shot of Faramir. :rolleyes: But still good. ;)

[Lady Ashley]

LEMBAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YIPPEE! ME WANT THE EXTENDED BUT I DON'T GET IT TILL FRIDAY!!!!!!!! *moans*

mecry mecry mecry mecry mecry

eek, Frodo DOES look possesed in that pic of him holding the Ring with Faramir and Co. by him. The line "It's mine...my own, my Precious...." came to mind from that look on Frodo's face!*laugh*

Aragorn and Eowyn in a tender moment? Hmmm..... More likely he's just explaining to her why she must stay behind.... or something. ;)

The forbidden pool is lovely. :)

[Undomiel]

i hope ure right Nessa. I dont think they should have Aragorn straying, it would go against the love theme with Arwen

[Fatty]

These are great, I have collected all the new ones and made gallery of them.

http://www.warofthering.net/movies/photos/smalltttnew/

Thanks for the links and photos Kalimac :-)

[Green Man]

Great stuff, Fatty! Thanks for all of your work here and over at CoE, where you let us know about all of this stuff! :thumbs:

[Fatty]

Oh well your welcome Greenman, though usually as is this case it is down to another :-) Welcome to War of the Ring btw :-)

[Keverzwijn]

Wow, I just looked at all 365 decipher cards.... looks good. Apperantly Grima has a bodyguard, there are lots of story spoilers in the little text boxes at the cards?

[Illuvatar]

Hey Keverzwijn,

If asked, please don't post the link to those cards in here. There may be some legalities involved. ;)

Thanks

[Fatty]

Well a bunch of new photos posted, havea look and see what you think.

http://www.warofthering.net/specialnewspages/imagediscussion.shtml

[Fatty]

Well this one nwo looks to be Sam (cooking pots etc) approaching The Black Gate,

http://www.warofthering.net/images/newsimages/lotrtwotowers-240.jpg

I love this one, Merry and Pippin in Isengard looking forward to some real food......

Wow they're great. Grima really does look evil and that dead guy in the marshes :elfeek: Creepy!
The store room in Isengard looks just like I imagined it :thumbs:

[Keverzwijn]

Hi Fatty,

Nah, I won't link to that page, it looks kinda illegal. I mean ALL 365 decipher cards on the internet . It's probaly just a leak, that's why I looked at them all iun one time (they're probaly gone the next time) It took me half an hour.

[Undomiel]

wow those pics are v. good. That one of the dead marshes is so freaky

[Fatty]

Yeah Keverzwijn I think so. However, I did procure some of the images. Not the cards, since I don't think posting them is very fair on Decipher. But some great shots in them.

Anyway a few more new shots I have been sent. We have seen most but a few new ones, to the web at least.

http://www.warofthering.net/movies/photos/mostlynewttt/

Including

http://www.warofthering.net/movies/photos/mostlynewttt/images/aragornstabs.jpg

and

http://www.warofthering.net/movies/photos/mostlynewttt/images/urukhairam.jpg

[Fatty]

Well I thought I would post this in here first. Goign up on main in a tick.

Some great shots, small but well........interesting. A few are ones I have seen of Rangers in Ithilien. However, huge spoilers.

Beware, iamges of Southerners up close and even one of Boromir's Horn in the hands of either Faramir or Denethor.

See them here:

http://www.warofthering.net/movies/photos/ithilien/

What do you think?

[Illuvatar]

Now this is what I'M talking about!!!

Whoo de frigging hoo!

http://www.warofthering.net/movies/photos/ithilien/images/lotrtwotowers-243.jpg

[SirRyktor]

Could this be a picture of wormtongue laying on top of Orthanc holding a dagger... maybe the "spiked wheel" is out of the picture!!!

http://www.warofthering.net/movies/photos/mostlynewttt/images/wormtongueturns.jpg

[Kazren]

That is exactly what I thought when I saw the photo of Grima, obviously on top of Orthanc with a dagger. If the scouraging of the Shire is out, then Sharky may meet his end on the top of the tower.

[Kazren]

Here's what I found on the web:
Lord of the Rings, The: The Fellowship of the Ring--Special Extended Edition Platinum Series
New Line | MSRP $39.98

You can find: MTV spoof, "Two Towers" preview, DVD production credits

How to find it: Disc 1--Go to the Scene Selections menus, and highlight the horizontal picture of Chapter 27, the last chapter on Disc 1. Press down on your remote control’s direction pad to highlight a ring icon. Click on the ring icon to watch the MTV version of Elrond’s secret council.

[Quickbeam15]

When are we going to see some Ent pics?


Please dont ignore me!!

[Hans_Schuder]

Treebeard's an ent, but I think they'll keep images of any other ents, or huorns for that matter, from leaking out for a bit.

Ah, marvelous! Marvelous! So, those are the Southrons! Hee Hee :evilcool: nuts to political correctness.

[Quickbeam15]

Ok...? Will we even see an other Ent apart from Treebeard?

[Undomiel]

probably not until the film

[Sadogoat]

That photo of Grima hints at the possible death of Saruman - and I still think it may include the spiked wheel. As anyone who has read the books knows, Wormtongue kills Saruman with a dagger at the very end of the tale. Therefore, I believe he will STILL do that in the film - and the dying Saruman will fall from the tower and land on the wheel.

Logical, no? :)

[TheRingBearer]

Yep that's what I think now as well. Now that it is difinite that Saruman will not die in the scouring, Grima should kill him on the tower but I am still against the spiked wheel to some extent.

[Illuvatar]

Okay Quickbeam...here's one of the best Treebeard ones we have:
http://www.warofthering.net/movies/photos/verylatesttttphotos/images/treebeardlarge.jpg
Feel better?

[Keverzwijn]

The pic of Aragorn with the dagger and the uruk is so violent. I love it. Unleash your rage!!

[Undomiel]

i thought it looked a bit like the Uruk hadnt noticed though lol i think it's coz it doesnt look like it is moving, though i'm sure it is really.

[Fatty]

Yes it is a violent image for sure.

Here are a few more of Gandalf

Keep an eye on Tolkien Online for the source of all these recent images all at once. :-)

[Hans_Schuder]

Christopher Lee did say they had filmed multiple scenes involving Saruman's death. I really don't think we'll get to find out for certain until ROTK, but I was astonished to hear how much FOTR evolved throught the filmmaking process right down to the last minute. :elfeek:

[Keverzwijn]

Quickbeam, there aren't any other pictures available of the ents at the moment. There are 2 (I think) and you'll just have to wait like the rest of us for more pictures. Even if they ain't coming no more the movie is just 31 days away.

[Lady Melody]

Oh, cool... but you know the saddest tragedy (for me) is... Gandalf doesn't look much like a loving Grandfather anymore... and instead like a VERY powerful wizard (he's always been one powerful Maia right? But still...) *sighs* I still prefer to think of him as a real grandad...

[Fatty]

Yes, sorry Quickbeam, let me assure you if I had some additional Ent photos I would let you know :-)

[Kalimac]

I was pleased to see the cast list for Two Towers, finally . . had been trying to determine if Theodred would be listed or not. Had heard last summer that Theodred would be alive at the beginning of the TT movie but we would not see him. Than various images began popping up, including the Decipher one where people were speculating that the wounded man is Theodred.
Wounded . . Theodred? (http://images.auctionworks.com/hi/5/5056/lotrtwotowers-215.jpg)


I have a link to a Polish site that someone has told me that it confirms that the Decipher image is Theodred. I tried the translator but it didn't make too much sense. :p Can anyone here translate this?

[Ithielnor]

Hey this is a great thread, keep on postin' the pictures.

I don't have time to go searching for new pictures, let you guys do all that work pfbbt ;) (jk)

[Iarfirithwen]

Yeah I'm wondering about that "Theodred" photo. I thought it might be a bit young. But then in the photo where Grima walks in on an upset Eowyn, the body on the bed (whom I assume is the dead Theodred given the scene and the dialogue that supposedly goes with the scene) has no beard which i would assume would most unsual for a Rohorrim unless he was quite young.

[Kalimac]

TOrN has this picture of a Warg. First good picture I've seen of one:
Warg (http://img-www.theonering.net/images/scrapbook/5226.jpg)

[Bess the Bard]

Looks exactly like the head of a grizzly bear to me.

[A! Elbereth]

Bess is right.... lol hmmmm

[Ithielnor]

lol roflmao lol
actually......yeah
lol

[Illuvatar]

Jeez...that looks like a fake to me. ;)

That looks a lot different from all the other Warg shots we've seen, and the ones in the trailer defo don't look a cute and furry!!

A bear with a mohawk!! lol

[Undomiel]

i agree with Bess too. I dont like what they've done with the wargs. I mean i know they wanted them to be twisted versions of wolves, but IMO they now look more like hyenas and nothing at all like wolves whatsoever.

[Kalimac]

>>That looks a lot different from all the other Warg shots we've seen<<

Other than the toys, the EA TT game, and the trailer how many pictures of the Wargs have we seen? :p

I think it kind of looks like a Koala bear on drugs . .

[Iarfirithwen]

roflmao Kalimac. But I have to say that Koala's aren't bears. [Sorry to correct you but its a personal pet hate ;) ] But you did get me thinking. It looks a bit more like a Wombat (though one on speed because wombats are pretty slow) And then I remembered I'd seen photos of Prehistoric wombats and from memory they look a bit like it. Unfortunately the best piccy I could find is this one (scroll down to photo) Diprotodon head reconstruction (http://www.archaeology.usyd.edu.au/research/cuddie/cuddie.html) or drawing of Diprotodon (http://www.lostkingdoms.com/facts/factsheet48.htm) Maybe if you cross the diprotodon with a thylacoleo (http://dsc.discovery.com/news/afp/20020729/brief3.html) you get a warg. Well hey if New Zealand is Middle-Earth then maybe the Wargs came from Australia lol [Though I prefer to think of Australia as Valinor given we're West over the (Tasman) Sea from Middle-Earth (New Zealand) lol ]

[Kalimac]

Oops, you're right they're not bears :blush: . . guess I was thinking more of toys though than the 'real' thing . . but . . have a look . . could one of these be an altered Warg?

http://www.teachervision.com/images/koala.jpg
Too cute . .

or this?

Yeah, it definitely could be a Diprotodon.
Good catch,Iarfirithwen. :thumbs:

[Iarfirithwen]

That koala pic is too adorable, though they can get really nasty and viscious when provoked. Maybe if we gave the koala a set of new fangs, dyed its hair and put it on steroids (its got the better shaped snout than the wombat) roflmao
Attack of the Killer Wargoalas!

Nice pics Kalimacs - thanks - you're talented :)

[Hans_Schuder]

That Marsupial Lion and the last one there look close, but they might have had one of these in mind since their intent was closer to a hyena. :wave:

[Keverzwijn]

This thread is really getting hilarious.lol Keep them pictures coming.

[Lady Ashley]

Hi guys...in regards to the article in the French mag...is that a picture of Merry and Pippin and GANDALF???

[Iarfirithwen]

I'm guessing you're right Lady Ashley. The cloak is too white for it to be Saruman, and I can't imagine them introducing anyone else in white.
Short-cut through the plot perhaps?
Hoom!


p.s. Everyone repeat after me:
Koala's AREN'T bears
:grin:

:grin:
The photo of Merry and Pippin looking up at the white -robed wizard... on the Topps card it explains that they're telling Treebeard things and he picks them up saying he's taking them to the wizard - so I don't think the audience gets to see the face of the white-robed wizard, but if you've read the books you KNOW it would not be Saruman, since Treebeard hates him and his foul orcs.

[Ithielnor]

Koala's AREN'T bears
:grin:

satisfied?
p.s. I never said they were

[Iarfirithwen]

True I think we all know that, but you never know how they have changed the story around and condenced it. As they evidently have here: i.e., Merry and Pippin meeting Gandalf in Fangorn (if that is indeed in the Forest as it looks) rather him riding up to them at Orthanc.
I assume they're just condensing the story a bit Lady Ashley.


p.s Very funny Ithielnor lol

[Lady Melody]

*scratches head* I wish they'd just stick to the book sometimes... it just makes things so complicated...

[Undomiel]

me too...i get so confused

[Iarfirithwen]

True :) but if they stuck to each book it would go on for ever and ever and ever and .... Hey! I'd like that :grin:
Well I'm just glad its Peter Jackson doing it rather than some Hollywood wannabe who wants to condence 3 movies into a 90 min film or something. Now THAT would be both laughable and excruciatingly painful at the same time.

[Lady Ashley]

*ick* Yeah, you're right Iar...goodness....

But goodNESS. Them meeting up with Gandalf!? I think my jaw will break off in the theater at this rate!

[Kazren]

Well, don't forget, in the books, by the time the group from Edoras meets up with Merry & Pippin at Isengard, Gandalf had already spoken with them and this was his return trip.

[Iarfirithwen]

Indeed, that what I said. In 'Flotsam and Jetsam' Merry and Pippin recount their time with the ents and their advance or Othanc etc. At a time when they were near the gate to Orthanc trying find somewhere to lie down after a long day :
"Suddenly a great horse came striding up, like a flash of silver .... I could see the riders face clearly .... I just sat up, staring, with my mouth open. ... 'Gandalf' I said at last... Did he say:m "Hullo Pippin! This is a pleasant surprise!"? No, indeed! He said: "Get up, you tom-fool of a Took! Where, in the name of wonder, in all this ruin in Treebeard? I want him. Quick!' " (p.217, TTT 1954/1981)


Okay it doesn't really worry me, they' have to take short-cuts through the screen play . I expect that. No biggy.
This was just to clarify to whatever I said in the earlier posts about skipping through the plot in the books.
Iar
;)

[Lady Ashley]

I haven't read TT in a while...so forgive my brain. I'll be reading it something in December. (before or after the film I don't know.)

[Lady Eowyn Kenobi]

Originally posted by Chibi Melody

i'm fine with complicated. its making things needlesly complicated that gets me ****ed.

i can see the point of Treebeard plopping Merry and Pip before Gandalf as a way of saving time, but what i don't understand is why Treebeard and why at that point (right after their capture and before the attack on Isengard), it doesn't make much sense to me. can't they simply follow the timeline and have Merry and Pip act surprised and meet up with Aragorn and Co in the same scene?

anyway, i'll have to see how this plays onscreen to get me pacified.

[Iarfirithwen]

Your brain is fine Lady A. You haven't said anything wrong.

Yeah Lady Eowyn, I think you're right it does seem hard to understand now and that will get better when we see it. You think it's strange now, just wait till you see the movie lol ... ok, seriously, I think its hard to see how things will pan out at this point. They've condensed that part in the story but maybe that matches up with other changes they have made that we don't know about.
I'll be happy aslong as they don't make major changes to the characters... that will make me very unhappy (or if Arwen takes any of Eowyn's role)

[Hans_Schuder]

I thought Kazren did a tidy job figuring this one out from the start, guessing Treebeard would bring them to a 'white' wizard before Gandalf's resurrection is revealed in the film thereby building suspense by leaving the impression they have been taken to Saruman.

Nothing definite, but I think that's a good bet. :thumbs:

[Iarfirithwen]

I'm guessing that like the book they will try to maintain that suspence (even if Gandalf's Resurrection is already known), but from the rumours so far, don't we find out about Gandalf vs Balrog right at the beginning? Assuming the rumours are correct and the track listing on the CD is in order.

[Kalimac]

Some 'new' images . . I think.

Sam (http://i.timeinc.net/time/covers/1101021202/gallery/images/people_3.jpg)

Frodo (http://i.timeinc.net/time/covers/1101021202/gallery/images/people_2.jpg)

Arwen (http://i.timeinc.net/time/covers/1101021202/gallery/images/people_5.jpg)

[Iarfirithwen]

Oooo I've not seen them before Kalimac. I'm guessing Arwen's wearing that sky blue dress she's seen wearing in the trailer (i.e., her and Aragorn up clooooose). What do you think? I don't know if I've seen the Aragorn one in that same collection either, well I've seen something similar but I'm not entirely sure.

If you want these images you may need to save them . . not sure how long they'll be available. I'm not sure if these are 'new' or not . . I think we have seen similar images, but not with the clarity.

There are 'scene' pictures at the Time site too. We've seen them before too. Nice one of Elrond and Arwen.

Here's a picture that I found that was included with a story about Treebeard and the Ents. I think the image is a very early renedition of Treebeard (anyway, I hope so . . since it seems a bit off) Anyway, I don't believe I've ever seen this particular pose by Treebeard before:

Interesting pic Kal, looks like some kind of prototype for the animatronics or such. Hmmm cool though :-)

[Lady Ashley]

I love Theoden's armour! Check out all the horses! I broke my new rule about saving any new TT pics because that one was JUST PLAIN COOL.

I know this is mean, but I made this up. You know how it goes, but I just tweaked it a little...

I see London,
I see France,
I see horses
On Thedeon's underpants!

lol lol lol lol lol (hopefully they didn't go to THAT much detail.) lol

[Singe]

hoom, it reeks of MINIATURE! At least I hope it's a miniature... it could be the animatronic they used, but it looks way too small! Where is the article you found, my dear Kalimac? Is there anything we don't already know in it?

[Faramir]

There are two much better photos of Treebeard:

[Kalimac]

I found the picture with an article in the Honolulu Advertiser, of all places. lol

http://the.honoluluadvertiser.com/article/2002/Nov/27/il/il08a.html

Maybe it is a minature version of the present Treebeard? Would be interesting to know where the newspaper got this image, though since it is so different from the Decipher card that we've seen. :rolleyes:

Faramir, the point is that the two photo's that you pointed out and the few images from the trailers are the only ones I've ever seen of Treebeard . . except this one. And, this one looks totally off center from the others.

[Singe]

Ah, thanky kindly, Kali!

I wish I could take these ruddy threads off of subscription...

*bounce bounce bounce* Entses!

Welcome to WOTR darkstormcrow, hope you enjoy it here. Nice pics Kalimac.

[Ralenquil]

Thanks for the Welcome, I thought I should sign up I have lurked here as a guest long enough :)

[Undomiel]

i checked out the ones on Coming Soon! They are great. Some are better quality than the ones i had :thumbs:

[Keverzwijn]

I tried to see those pics but my pc kept crashing every time I visited the site. I just saw an interview of Peter Jackson on some American Talkshow. You should see his face when the trailer is ended. Hilarious!

[Keverzwijn]

Guys, check out Wormtongue's head, he has some nasty wound, I wonder if Saruman did that or maybe someone at Edoras.
