MAJOR SPOILERS ALERT!!!

UPDATE 02/01/01:

• Added a small commentary from Ringer fan Rallas on the Saruman/Gandalf image. (page 04, image 05)

UPDATE 01/31/01:

• Ringer fan Jeff sent us some very HIGH quality full screen video captures of the trailer. I have replaced all the images with the ones he sent.
• We've added an .mp3 of the 'One Ring rhyme' in the first couple frames. Thanks do Dys for sending us this edited and clear version of the speech.
• Thanks to Dune, PipeSmoke, Thorongil, Gandalf, Berendir, Narvi, Pippin Took and Tinuviel for the help with the frame by frame descriptions.

UPDATE 01/20/01:

• I have swapped out all the old images with new ones. They should be a lot clearer.
• Added a few new images to page 01. Before, we didn't have images of the hand reaching for the ring.

UPDATE 01/14/01:

• Clearer picture of Meriadoc in front of King Theoden (page 02, 4th image)
• Cleaned up the 5th image and added 2 more screen shots of Gandalf thrusting his staff onto the bridge. (page 02, 5th, 6th and 7th images)
• MUCH clearer image of Gandalf and Saruman? Does anyone else see that 'head' in the upper middle?? (page 03, 5th image)

	As the One Ring is forged, we hear the words "ash nazg durbatuluk, ash nazg gimatul" being chanted in 'black speech.' This was spoken by Gandalf at the Council of Elrond. Click here to listen to the 60k .mp3 file.
	The flames heat up the ring, revealing the cryptic ancient Elvish letters.
	Here’s the same scene forwarded a few seconds. It has the One Ring floating in front of red clouds.
	The One Ring floats higher on the screen. The lava from Mt. Doom illuminates the red sky.
	The One Ring continues to float in the clouds with some lightning effects.
	The One Ring floats up into the upper right corner of the screen.
	A hand reaches up to grab the floating ring.
	The hand (most likely Frodo's) clasps the ring.
