Return Of The King Footage From E3 166

Posted by timothy from the photography-ongoing dept.
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.

      You intended that post as a joke, but there really was a novelization of the 1970s animated LotR film. It was marketed as a book for older children and had lots of illustrations taken from the film.
      • I've got that. It's really more of a coffee table book than a novelization. And, in that case, it is better than the film. I know that Bakshi film was cutting edge for it's day, but I saw it again a little while back and was bored.
        • I've also got it... Yes, it's sort of coffee table book in shape, but it's rather heavy on the text to be classified with your standard browsable fare. It was really a work of narrative fiction based on the film, attractively packaged so that people would buy it for their kids who might not have had the patience to read through the x-thousand-page Tolkien original. I agree that it's more interesting than the movie version. :)

      Which just goes to show there's no accounting for taste :) I thought the soundtracks were masterpieces all round: grand sweeping themes for the grand sweeping bits, a light and bouncy tune for the hobbits, some stunning pieces that somehow actually managed somehow to sound elvish, and excellent dark and brooding bits for Moria. The Academy agreed [imdb.com].
      The memorability of both Star Wars and Raiders is a factor of time and how much both have penetrated Western culture. The themes from both have been played, parodied, and imitated a thousand times over the last two decades. Also, both are much less epics than rollicking adventure films which lend themselves more to a contemporary theme. Don't get me wrong - I love (and own) both the Raiders and Star Wars soundtracks - but I went straight out and bought both Ring soundtracks as soon as they were available.
      • The score from LOTR is truely one of the best I've heard in some time. As an example of its depth, try listening to the end of the Balrog scene from Fellowship. There is a rather climactic rise to the music and then, as Gandalf falls, the music first is a stunned silence and then slowly moves into mourning as the film follows the rest of the fellowship from the mines.

        Now listen to the first track of the Two Towers. There is the rise, and fall with Gandalf, but instead of becoming a mournful piece, since th

      They should have gone for something like "Requiem for the Ring", which was used in the Two Towers trailer. For those of you who haven't heard it, it's a reorchestration of the "Requiem for a dream" theme, originally by Clint Mansell.

      Not neccessarily. If you recall the original story, the closer to Mordor the ring got, the more its power increased. Surely from that point of view, taking it to Mordor, which is basically what they did, would be worse? (And as we all know, that is the basis of the quest - they are going to take the ring to Mordor). My point is, just because the movie had a detour to Osgiliath, I fail to see what you're getting your knickers in a knot about. Yes, it does change the original story's details, but it isn't as terrible as you're making it out to be.

      The Lord of the Rings is a great piece of work and the fact is that if the One Ring ever went to Gondor then Sauron would've noticed it, GAME OVER. Journey to Mount Doom was only possible because Faramir unlike his hot headed brother had the good sense to allow Frodo onto Mordor unmolested. (I walked out of the last movie when this bit went wrong.) I have to say that other than this crucially important departure from plot the visualisation has generally been great; while I give Jackson some credit for a good rendition, the fact is that the book paints the original picture.

      You walked out? Because a detail of the story was changed in leui of the movie adaptation? Ok, I'm not going to comment on that. Let's examine the rest of what you said, anyway.

      If you read the original story closely, Faramir was NOT entirely pleasant while holding the Hobbits hostage. He was thinking about taking the ring to Gondor and interrogated the Hobbits pretty efficiently. Now, I agree that he was less hot-headed and far wiser than his brother, and during the section of the story where he and his men hold the hobbits hostage, he did have a change of heart and allow them to proceed with their quest unhindered. However, to say that they "weren't molested" is cutting it thin. They were blindfolded, tied up, and held against their will for a long time, interrogated, and not all that Faramir had to say to them was pleasant (in the beginning, it's hard to miss the threatening undertones of what he was saying, unless you are very unperceptive). Yes - the movie changed the details of this part of the story. Did it remain true to the spirit of the story, though? I believe so. Re-read this part of the story if you don't believe me. Crucially important departure from the story? Not really. The outcome is going to be exactly the same. I didn't like some parts of this departure either, but you're really making a mountain out of a molehill.

      I'm not a purist, I accepted that the films weren't going to be a mirror image, couldn't understand the need to screw up the end of the Fellowship, even managed to swallow Glorfindel being replaced by an Arwen who could cast spells, but this distortion of the fabric is unacceptable

      Sorry to tell you this, but Elves are "magical" in nature, and therefore can cast spells, and create magical items, to greater or lesser degree depending on the individuals themselves. Arwen is the daughter of Elrond, who has not only great Elf, but also Ainur heritage.

      One of the more important rules for storytelling in a visual medium such as film is that it is (almost) always better and more effective to show than it is to tell.

      As LotR has quite a fair bit of characters sitting around telling each other things, this is a bit of a problem.

      So, lets examine possible reasons for having the ring be taken part way to Gondor in the film, shall we?

      One of the most important plot points in RotK, if not the most important, is Aragorn's leading what remains of the hosts of Gondor against the black gate, in an attempt to fool Sauron into thinking he is in possession of the ring, thus taking his attention away from the ring's real possition. There is all sorts of supporting evidence for Sauron to leap to this conclusion, but its a pretty complex and subtle point to get across. In a movie even more so.

      By having the ring seen by an agent of Sauron, escorted by the troops of Gondor, selling to the audience that Sauron is convinced beyond all doubt that Aragorn has the ring is going to be far easier - One shortish speach from Gandalf about how He could never concieve of anyone willingly giving up the power of the ring, and Bam. Instant set up.

      Compared to the (admitably more subtle and interesting) evidence presented in the book - Pippin and Aragorn's palantir experience, the film's evidence is far more easily grasped.

      The films aren't messing with the mythology in any dire mannor - quite the opposite. They have gone to the trouble of setting up major plot elements, in the nature demanded of the different medium, well in advance, when they were needed.

Why wouldn't Aragorn already have taken the ring? Also when hobbits are spotted in Minas Morgul (or are you s

    Maybe I won't find out about Shelob and the ring getting into the Crack of Doom (heh...I just wrote "crack") as a result of Gollum biting off Frodo's finger and the part about Frodo not willingly throwing the ring into the hot MAG-MA! (Dr. Evil impression there).

    OTOH, the spoilers could involve the numerous plots inserted into the movies that did not exist in the book, such as the horse-kissing part, Aragorn going over the cliff, Arwen, the elves at the Hornburg, etc., etc.

    The Comic Book Guy needs to have a talk with Peter Jackson.

      While a lot of the embellishments were purely to adapt the book to movie form, a lot more (including a lot of the Arwen storyline, if you grant Jackson a little artistic license) are actually taken from the Appendices.

      I was surprised to see how much tied together from those "broken" parts havi
