Casey Common notes that New Line has released a new trailer for "Fellowship of the Ring" exclusively in QuickTime, after a previous trailer for the first movie in the trilogy was released exclusively in RealVideo.

Yes, when they say "first movie in the trilogy" they're talking about "Fellowship of the Ring." There was a "preview" months ago (March?) that was on Apple's site. The first full-length trailer (in May) was never in QuickTime (except on unofficial mirrors) because of some deal New Line had with RealNetworks. This is an all-new trailer that was released Monday in QT only.
Hey, I can't see the trailer... it says that Quicktime 5.0.2 is required. Running exclusively on X, and there doesn't seem to be a 5.0.2 yet....
How surprising...
BTW my name isn't 0/; another OSX/ie explorer problem?
means, 'what am I bid for exclusive distribution on your technology?' It just sounds so good to the consumers (or at least it forces them to install client sw).
This is what passes for broadband content these days. Think different -- please.
The servers have just been slashdotted! I can't get the movie to play in a browser window so I tried to use the direct download. Each time I get an error that the file either wasn't found or the server is experiencing capacity problems. Must be pretty popular.
I've been to a couple of LOTR message boards and people are almost universally ripping on apple and on quicktime because they can't get the movies to load. Because apple didn't have the bandwidth to dish out the trailer people now think quicktime sucks donky you know whats. Bad move apple.
Apple didnt host the movie, Soresson have (god knows why)
I finally got hold of a download spot, but its chugging out at 2k a second (Im on cable) so it will take awhile.
Glad Apple got LOTR back though, so so many LOTR fans hated Real Player and its terrible quality, and wanted Apple back
I got it in three minutes and it is an awesome trailer. 10 megs a minute.

Huh?
I don't get it. For starters this is the first movie. And secondly I watched a trailer for it in quicktime at Apple's site many months ago.
