'Lord of the Rings: Return of the King' in QuickTime
September 30, 2003 - 15:55 EDT Apple's Movie Trailers page features a teaser for "The Return of the King," the next installment in "The Lord of the Rings" trilogy, exclusively in QuickTime format. The film will hit theaters on December 17. Other recent trailer additions include "Kill Bill," "The Alamo," "Stoked" and "Lost In Translation."

My Comments: I downloaded the Return of the King trailer and it's pretty kick butt.. I can't wait to see it! Although Im looking forward to the next Matrix much more :)

Wonder how many Macs where involved in this movie. Either for production or personal use. For some reason, I would think there would be a lot, for some reason.

I believe that happens when you farm things out to different venodrs to do the job.

I read the books at least three times over the years. It was very difficult to make the movies, because of the details, and large amount of information in the novels. Jackson mostly had a hard time of what to put in and what to leave out. I like the first movie, I need to see the second (curently waiting on the second extended DVD set). Then I will most likely see the final movie. I am really looking forward to seeing final movie.

Yes, the third one is "supposed" to be the best. That's what all the cast members and director said.
