Another short new clip:

"Spirits in the shape of hawks and eagles flew ever to and from his halls; and their eyes could see to the depths of the seas, and pierce the hidden caverns beneath the world."

Not bad! A little hammy, but nice.

But who is that character in the picture above? If you believed some people's comments, he doesn't even exist in these films. ;)

Calm down now, V-man. There's still about 2 hours and 27 minutes of film for him to be drowned in. :)

Short clip of Bard:



There's another clip of Dol Guldur but I actually have managed to follow Dcole's advice and not watch it, and I'm not going to link to it here.

Peter Jackson Says THE HOBBIT: THE BATTLE OF THE FIVE ARMIES Extended Cut Will Include Around 30 Minutes of Additional Footage

http://collider.com/the-hobbit-3-extended-cut-details/
The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies doesn’t even come out for another two weeks, but Peter Jackson is already making plans for his extended edition of the film. Steve is currently at The Hobbit press conference in London where Jackson just revealed that there will be an extended cut of the film on the Blu-ray with around 30 minutes of additional footage. The extended edition of An Unexpected Journey clocks in at 183 minutes long (13 minutes of additional footage) and the extended cut of The Desolation of Smaug is 186 minutes long (25 minutes of additional footage) so when the time comes to marathon the entire The Hobbit trilogy, we’ll be spending about 543 minutes in Middle Earth, which is actually significantly less than the Lord of the Rings extended trilogy’s 680-minute grand total.

Jackson may already know about how many minutes he’s adding to the theatrical cut of the film for the extended addition, but he does still need the time to actually put the thing together. Jackson noted that this should take him around four or five months to get done after he returns home. Assuming that happens at the end of the month, he should have The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies extended cut complete in the middle of 2015

Hmmm, don't know why that doesn't work.

Here's another short clip of Gandalf (aka Mithrandir) and Thranduil.

Dave, I'm not sure I agree with you. ;)

Just heard from someone I know that there ARE character drawings at the end. Somebody was wondering about that in some thread!

:)
“Wilbur never forgot Charlotte. Although he loved her children and grandchildren dearly, none of the new spiders ever quite took her place in his heart. She was in a class by herself. It is not often that someone comes along who is a true friend and a good writer. Charlotte was both.” E. B. White, who must have had vison in mind. There's a reason why we kept putting the extra i in her name in our minds!

I hope they're the same style as the drawings at the end of RotK. I thought they made a lovely last look at the characters.
“There, peeping among the cloud-wrack above a dark tor high up in the mountains, Sam saw a white star twinkle for a while. The beauty of it smote his heart, as he looked up out of the forsaken land, and hope returned to him. For like a shaft, clear and cold, the thought pierced him that in the end the Shadow was only a small and passing thing: there was light and high beauty for ever beyond its reach.”
― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Return of the King

Yeah...loved Christopher Lee's line. Need to see the clip in the context of the whole sequence to make a proper judgment.

The images just appear as little boxes with x's that say "image". At least for me.
