Minas Tirith
<< Of course, you've already seen it briefly in FOTR, but you're going to be seeing a great deal of it in ROTK. Galleries: Numenoreen; Herr der Ringe; Elbakin; Tolkien Online
>> Top: two Howes and a Lee. Bottom: bigature and two real-life sets.
<< A "guard" at the FOTR Cannes screening. Do the city guards look like this?
>> Gandalf and Pippin arrive (E3).
<< Gandalf muses on the city's defense.
<< Denethor: Alan Lee's depiction (Rolozo Tolkien).
>> Calendar shot (note Faramir in upper corner); Denethor and Pippin from official site (hover cursor for descriptions).
<< Boromir: Someone is going to have flash-backs, although we don't know who (his father? Faramir? Aragorn? Frodo? Pippin, for that matter?).
>> More Denethor.
The Siege of Minas Tirith
>> Gandalf inside the city.
<< Gandalf with his staff, although the image probably comes later in the sequence.
>> Things blow up real good.
<< Grond: A battering ram used at Minas Tirith; the second image is E3 footage.
<< Note the trolls wielding it.
>> Far right: The siege of Minas Tirith as illustrated by John Howe.
>> Doors open on a courtyard, and Faramir looks on in dismay.
Pelennor Fields
Just as a quick refresher note, the fields are just outside Minas Tirith.
>>Soldiers of Gondor: Yeah, people got all het up because "there's no plate armor in Middle Earth!" Well, suck it up, folks: there is now. Galleries: War of the Ring;
Numenoreen
Faramir: The general consensus on the web the last couple of days is that the guy on the right is also Faramir.
>> Is Faramir leading the charge?
<< Aragorn's in there somewhere. In charge of tents, it looks like.
>> Theoden rallies the troops.
Folks we can't definitively place at Pelennor or the Black Gates:
>> Eomer...
>> Gimli...
>> Legolas (see the Black Gates for another scene these pictures could be from)
Eowyn and the Witch King
Alan Lee (Rolozo Tolkien): the battlefield on the left, and the aftermath on the right
(complete with burnt-out Nazgul steed
remains).
<< Some people say this is a dead Nazgul steed. Others say it's just a dead oli-phaunt. We present it for your perusal either way.
>> Action figure of Eowyn/Dernhelm.
>> John Howe's "Eowyn and the Nazgul." <<Jackson has decided to reshoot this sequence because the Witch King "looked too much like Sauron" in the original footage (see helmet at left).
