View Full Version : Make a prediction: What will the teaser poster for ROTK look like?

Going by the past (FOTR's was the Argonath and TTT's pictured Baradur and Isengard) it makes sense that the teaser poster for ROTK would feature another piece of Middle-Earth scenery.

However, I think that it's going to be a little different this time.

The poster will feature a close up of Aragorn's hand holding up Narsil.

I have a feeling Minas Tirith might find its way onto the poster.

Mount Doom.

Now that would make one awesome poster!

However, Minas Tirith is the first geographical location that popped into my head. So how about Minas Tirith with Mt Doom rising in the background?

Or Minas Tirith with Mount Doom Rising in the background with a face of Aragorn and Arwen looking at eachother seperated by a slightly diagonal Narsil.:D:D:D

This certainly plenty of material to choose from.

If PJ wants to play up the fighting aspect of the film, he could show the Army of the West spread before the Back Gate.

PJ could show Aragorn at his coronation or marrying Arwen (while wearing a crown of course).

Or poor Mr. Frodo and Mt. Doom could show up. This of course is the crucial plot line, but I'm not sure that it will end up in the poster.

I think Mount Doom and Minas Tirith will be on it, plus Aragorn and Frodo's faces.

I am guessing Aragorn will be in the middle foreground, holding Narsil. Then on the right side we'll see Minas Tirith with the faces of Denethor, Faramir, Theoden, Gandalf, Eomer, Eowyn, Merry, Pippin, Legolas and Gimili. On the left side we'll see either Mt. Doom or Barad-dur, with the faces of Frodo, Sam, Gollum, Mouth of Sauron, Nazgul, Shelob, and maybe even Sauron himself. Personally I rather have a much simpler poster with only one or two charachters on it, but I'm guessing they'll try and stuff everyone into it.

Oh, I'm sure they'll try and cram as many faces on the final poster as possible. No doubt about that. ;) But for the very first teaser poster, I predict something simple.

For FotR it was just the Argonath: http://imagecache2.allposters.com/images/120/002_3520.jpg

For TTT it was just the Two Towers: http://imagecache2.allposters.com/images/146/LORDOF2AOS.jpg

So for the first RotK poster, I would think they'd go the same route. (Then there'll be about 50 more posters released until they release the "final" poster which I'm positive will have everyone's faces cluttering it up.)

I'd say it would show Barad-Dur and Minas Tirith, but that would look too much like the Two Towers teaser. I'll go with a picture of Mount Doom, with Sam and Frodo barely visible climbing it, and Gollum not far behind.

Knowing how PJ likes to show Arwen at every available opportunity, it'll probably be a big picture of her...naked.

Seraph that is absolutely disgusting. I highly doubt that PJ would do somthing so un-Tolkien and something so perverted.

Anyway, I think that I agree that an Image of the White City in the sunlight with Mordor in the background overhung with shadow would be an excellent poster if it is to stick with geogrphapical images like the first two teasers. But I also think that an excellent spoiler poster would be an image of Aragorn's hand grasping Narsil would be exellent. It would be even neater if there was an image of Gondor reflected in the blade.

I was joking! Of course I don't really think he'll do that, or that he should.

This isn't official, but it looks good:
