Here we see the verse move into larger scale, as the One Ring moves further into the background.

The crackling fire around the Ring consumes it in light. Another masterful touch by WETA Digital to symbolize the power within it.

The Eye of Sauron

The main title. The narrator reads, "J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings"

The word "one" appears and transitions into the cast credits

Top billing for the cast. They read in order: Elijah Wood, Sir Ian McKellen, Liv Tyler, Viggo Mortensen, Sean Astin, Cate Blanchette, John Rhys-Davies.

And this is the first teaser title of THREE. Just to let everyone know how long they’ll be waiting between films! "The Fellowship of the Ring, Christmas 2001"

The next teaser title: "The Two Towers, Christmas 2002"

The last teaser title: "The Return of the King, Christmas 2003"

And if this doesn’t make you feel impatient, nothing will! The text reads, "Now in production." Man, it’s gonna be a loooong wait!
