The Lord Of The Rings Teaser [HD]

[airdriver]

I remember seeing this at the theatre. It had been almost 25 years since I read the trilogy as a freshman. But when the teaser started, I thought, They damn well better get this right. When I saw that they had split it up into three movies, I knew they would. And they did.

[Turk3yAndGravy]

just think... what if the first movie bombed in the box office... would the other two even have been released?

[Jaaqo]

I don't know about you guys, but for me the video does indeed have a wrong aspect ratio. Everything's too wide.

What's The Song At the Ending?

[1destined]

BEST...FILM...TRILOGY...OF...A­LL....TIME!!!!!!! BETTER THAN EVEN THE FIRST STAR WARS TRILOGY (AND I KNOW I JUST PISSED OFF A FEW PEOPLE SAYING THAT, BUT I DON'T CARE)!!!!!!

[Breveglieri]

1 person was rooting for Sauron

[nightwishfan1991]

I am going to shit my pants when I see the Hobbit trailer :)

[thebigrussian]

Thats cool they used footage from all three movies in the very first teaser

[michaelforthriller]

THE Prequel is coming out !!!! it's called : THE HOBBIT . cant wait !!!

[kornkid22]

Saw this in the cinema and nerd gasmed. Ahh went with my dad to see all the lotr films. Awesome times :)

[sixpointneuf]

A Hobbit teaser will be released within the next couple of weeks, according to andy serkis, some say it will be shown before tintin

[sticmann27]

I thought that a teaser for the masterpiece that is LOTR would be alot better or at least less hollywood, still very looking forward to the hobbit tho!!

[smash37]

THATS a fucking good teaser!

[Ruca77]

EPIC! 1st time that saw probably :) went to see all movies with family at cinema :) Good Old Times! :)

[sixpointneuf]

this teaser is so cheesy, I guess that's how they used to be. can't wait for the hobbit teaser, which should be coming in a couple of weeks

[TheAsfaloth]

Chilling looking back at how unknown and thinking just how epic the next 3 years would be.

[gorantokio]

I wonder had they shown Balrog in this trailer, would I be as dumbfounded about it when I first saw the movie in the cinema or not...? I probably would. ^^

[Scotch7000]

lol this trailer is so bad! great movies though

[nightwishfan1991]

I so can not wait for the Hobbit. I love this trilogy and I know Jackson will do it justice :)

[Geologyisnotascience]

Words cannot tell the might and greatness of this trilogy. The greatest movies ever made, nothing less.

[P00PD0G89]

what was that song they used?



[KolorowychPsow]

I remember watching this teaser as a preview to Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon my freshman year of college. This movie defined Epic for me.

[jishimushi3]

Absolutely love LOTR!!!! I have no doubt The Hobbit films will be as good as these....who knows, maybe even better! Peter Jackson is directing :) btw I really wanna know the music from 0:58 - the end

[cstinia]

brings back memories where me and my friends were getting through our final exams in high school just to watch LOTR after school. lol

[cenarules222]

[Darusdei]

[furious0331]

America Online Keyword...LOL!!!

[oscarxp25]

I mistake has become pretty popular..hahah

[swishtrack]

@oscarxp25 i dnt agree tht it was a mistake, i just figured you meant that you felt, sort of thin and stretched out, like bilbo did when he finaly got rid of the ring in the fellowship...

[fai3sai3]

I can't wait till it's out!!

[gsandoval64]

I was 3 and my mom wanted to see it

[nightwishfan1991]

I went to go see the extended editions in theaters a few weeks ago. I felt like I was 10, 11, 12 again

[lie31337]

10 años despues....todavia #HYPEA!

[spacemountaineer91]

[jegriva]

@spacemountaineer91 Lucky bastard ;)

[TheTAKES06]

this is truly one of my favourite trilogies...epic!...i was taken away when i watched this movie at age 11...i would go home n literally dream about the shire

[iookafka]

I was 8. Cant believe it was that long ago~

[cenarules222]

i know this would be a tad early for a normal film but how epic would it be if the first trailer for the hobbit was with....THE AVENGERS???????

[BenBeanin]

Whoa...brings back memories. My family and I were so excited!

[timvitkuske]

Best trailer ever made.



[vxpal]

i remember watching this at cinema and have no idea how awesome it will be

[bigfaggykitty]

good trailer, bad voiceover

[koolgool]

Huh... don't remember seeing this trailer, but I went back to see what it was like. Does NOT do the series justice. XD

Love Lord of the Rings.

[ConcreteSurfer420]

I remember seeing this Trailer when I saw Saving Silverman on the big screen

[pixargod]

This trailer was released in 2000.

[CJ62394]

Who else thought of Clerks 2?

[swishtrack]

i hope the Hobbit does something like this as well...like release a short trailer 1 and a half years before the actual release

[oscarxp25]

I can't believe how long I am. I remember seeing this teaser in the movies. I was 17 at the time.

[Casarzino]

@oscarxp25 how LONG you are? lol

[TheTAKES06]

@oscarxp25 how long you are..., but it was epic right

[oscarxp25]

@TheTAKES06 I just noticed my mistake...haha..

[Moue666]

@oscarxp25 How long are you?

[mitchellcorona]

@oscarxp25

I just figured you were talking about years in Entish.

[jrrtolkiencolossus]

@mitchellcorona LOL true

[comeondown12345]

@oscarxp25 i was 9 xD

[300warrior300]

@oscarxp25 lol i remember seeing this trailer or a similar trailer before watching the first harry potter. I was 7, very excited and very scared

[adafal]

any chance you could repost this masterpiece without it being distorted?

[FilmTrailersChannel]

Distrorted... You mean the widescreen.... :)

[jegriva]

@FilmTrailersChannel or it means "corrupted by the one"!

[j3ff86]

@FilmTrailersChannel No, I think he means the noticeable stretching :)

[FilmTrailersChannel]

@highrollin2 Incorrect, this isn't a 4:3 trailer stretched, the film was actually filmed in 2.35:1 ratio, there is nothing wrong with this trailer.

[IanJenn356094]

@FilmTrailersChannel

what he means is that the aspect ratio is off.

[FilmTrailersChannel]

@adafal Incorrect, this isn't a 4:3 trailer stretched, the film was actually filmed in 2.35:1 ratio, there is nothing wrong with this trailer.

[highrollin2]

@FilmTrailersChannel Yes, I know it was filmed in 2.35. I'm very well aware of 2.35 as it's my favorite aspect ratio. This isn't it.

Look at the New Line logo at the beginning. That's usually a perfect blue circle behind it, but it's noticeably ovaled. This copy of the trailer was original LETTERBOXED in 4:3. That letterboxed image was then stretched to 16:9. The image is stretched. It's not a big deal, but it is.

[FilmTrailersChannel]

@highrollin2 Its not stretched, I pulled this this from the DVD as it is. Check at 0:12 , it is a perfect ring circle. Are you seeing black bars at the top and bottom of the video, if not, your YouTube player needs adjusting because is is being stretched to 16:9.

[highrollin2]

@FilmTrailersChannel Yes, the Ring at 0:12 is noticeably ovalled.

I know what 2.35 looks like and this is wider than that. Look at any other 2.35 trailer on here and look at the difference in thickness between the black bars on them, and the black bars here. They're supposed to be about half as thick.

I don't know why you can see it, but considering that I'm not the only noticing it, don't you think you're the one that's missing something here? It's stretched.

[rossumsmelt]

@FilmTrailersChannel It actually is stretched. Everyones YouTube player is 16:9 nowadays. If you uploaded it in 4:3, that explains it.

[kmccarney88]

@highrollin2 - I'm just going to chime in on this little debate. There is absolutely no question whatsoever, this trailer is a little distorted. It's not horrible but it's definitely not in it's original form. It appears to be a little bit stretch horizontally. The New Line logo is the obvious giveaway.

I know for a fact because I've had an obsession with trailers for years and have them all on my computer. I'm looking at the original right now and this one is distorted by comparison.
