Popular Post Jay 37,281 Posted May 25, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted May 25, 2021 I saw it in front of Pearl Harbor No Shore music is used, but other than that, this is an excellently assembled teaser Also: remember when trailers ended with things like "America Online Keyword: " ?

Nick1Ø66 4,688 Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 Man that was exciting. This came even earlier! That moment it transitions to widescreen....just epic and still gives me chills. And that choral music! They actually did a pretty incredible job with all the Lord of the Rings trailers. TSMefford 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,281 Posted May 27, 2021 Author Share Posted May 27, 2021 Wow, I've never seen that before! The description says it's from April 2000. The widescreen part from 1:19-end of that was reworked and extended to become this trailer that premiered in December 2000, in front of New Line's "Thirteen Days": Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh yes, I remember watching this countless times, partially because of the choral trailer music towards the end, which I found awesome. I was disappointed it wasn't included as a bonus track on the OST. Nick1Ø66 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jurassic Shark 12,024 Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 It's still the best library music I've heard in a trailer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick1Ø66 4,688 Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 Interesting that at some point between that original internet preview and this first trilogy trailer they dropped “J.R.R. Tolkien’s” from The Lord of the Rings title & logo (which also eventually changed). TSMefford 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I’m not THAT old 😛 Seeing Lord of the Rings at 10 was amazing but it must have been a different sort of amazing to see something like that on the bug screen at 20/21. I’d love to be able to experience these films for the first time again. And then discovering the extended edition before Two Towers came out… what a time to be alive.

They were really experimenting with those taglines eh? But yea, that FOTR teaser is glorious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's interesting to see how the tone of the marketing evolved as they got closer to the films' release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,281 Posted May 27, 2021 Author Share Posted May 27, 2021 That tagline describes Bilbo's situation in The Hobbit better than Frodo's situation in LOTR Chen G. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When they did the initial promotion just letting the world know a Lord of the Rings film was coming it made sense to put Tolkien’s name up front. But once they got down to marketing the individual films, it would have been a little awkward. “J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring” is a mouthful.

TSMefford 1,509 Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 Wow these are awesome! Thanks for sharing. I actually missed the first two films in theaters. I was on the Harry Potter train in 2000-2002 and only saw Fellowship and Two Towers on DVD before seeing RotK in theaters. I missed all this marketing. Very cool to see!

Edmilson 7,385 Posted May 30, 2021 Share Posted May 30, 2021 Great trailer! I was 8 when this movie came out, so I didn't watched it in theaters... but I did see Monsters Inc and HP1 at the big screen during that Christmas, so yeah, it was great. I only watched Fellowship months later at the DVD, and dubbed in Portuguese (it was weird hearing Goku's voice on Sam Tarly, lol). Still, it was an unforgettable experience.

MedigoScan 324 Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 Its kinda morbidly interesting to see all these early trailers with the deleted second-long scenes that still havent been seen anywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
