Yet more Lord of the Rings wizardry hits the net

A new trailer for the first of The Lord of the Rings trilogy, The Fellowship of the Ring has been made available on the movie's official website this week.

The trailer is available either in a full-screen Quicktime format or in a series of 100-plus scene-by-scene small stills with a script of the trailer voiceover.

It roughly follows the story chronology of the first of Peter Jackson's Tolkien adaptations and shows most of the major characters - including Liv Tyler in warrior maiden mode - and a frightening array of orcs, goblins, trolls and ringwraiths.

A cinematic version is expected to be on local cinema screens in two weeks. Viewing the trailer comes recommended to anyone suffering hobbit fatigue.

Just the thing to revive that sense of anticipation for the first LOTR film which starts on December 19.
