Head over to TORN (http://www.theonering.net) and you will be able to download 2 new tv ads for our favourite upcoming movie, nothing spectacular, just some new lines. I believe the advertisement's for this will concentrate on the members of the fellowship, an ad for each character, the line 'His name is Frodo' does sound rather corny.

I've seen "Her name is Arwen". It was pretty cool but it showed some footage that gives hints that she might take the place of Glorfindel when he was looking for the Hobbits and Strider. Footage of her being chaced by the nine and in the ford before the horses in the water kill the nine. Also has some footage of her and Aragorn.

The guy who's hosting those in his Yahoo! briefcase just added a Gandalf one.

Look like I'm right, this advertising campaign is going to be like the 'One' theme with the Phantom Menace but with 'His name is' instead of 'One'. I can't get the Gandalf Tv Spot, I keep getting the 403 forbidden error.

on the her name is Arwen or Frodo it rather does sound like a really really corny song.

Where is this? I went to TORN and didn't find a trailer like the one you're talking about. I'll check again, but I didn't see it . . .

The Aragon ad is really well done. I have also seen the one for the Fellowship.
I am going to go look for the other ones now.

I actually say a couple of them on TV ...my family would call me back into the room everytime they came on. Very effective I thought. The ones that bug me are the ones that start out seeming to be about the movie and then morph hideously into the "collect you FotR light up glasses at Burger King."

Lol Lol Lol Lol Lol... That is not all... There are plastic toys also!!!:eek: actually they are pretty cool but kind of corny.
They also have a cool offer. If you buy four Toy Biz toys of them you can send in an order form to get an Uruk-Hai which looks preety authentic. :D WE SHALL HOLD THROUGH!!!
