Actually, that promo came out last December, for the RotK theatrical release (I have it downloaded on my computer).
Willow: Something evil-crashed to earth in this. Then it broke out and slithered away to do badness.
Giles: Well, in all fairness, we don't really know about the "slithered" part. Anya: No, no, I'm sure it frisked about like a fluffy lamb.
'Never Leave Me'
LotR - The Return of the King: "We named the *dog* 'Strider'".
Frodo: Please, what does it always mean, this... this "Aragorn"? Elrond: That's his name. Aragorn, son of Arathorn. Aragorn: I like "Strider." Elrond: We named the *dog* "Strider".
A discussion of Lord of the Rings - The Return of the King. If you're a pervy hobbit fancier, this is the place for you.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I had never seen it! Why did TNT tie their promos in with a theatrical release?
Anyway -- I've seen the extended preview, and it brought a tear or two to my eyes, a smile, and Lord, do I want to know what Dom said after hearing "Look how beautiful I am!"

I think that TNT ran it because they had already bought the rights to broadcast the whole trilogy, so they had motivation to try and ramp up its Oscar chances. I can't imagine them doing it for another movie series, though if The Godfather Part 4 came out, you never know!

There are scans of a great article by Empire Magazine here (scroll down a few entries to the thumbnails). It looks like it's probably a compilation of previous interviews over the past three years, but there are definitely some new quotes that I hadn't seen before.

Not to get your hopes too high, Susan--it looks like it might be just a flash of him, but it is new footage, and not a flashback, like Pippin's memory of his death .
Oh, and I just looked at the Amazon entry for the EE--Lawrence Makaore is listed as being on the cast commentary, along with the usual group!

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
TORN has a download of the six-minute trailer, which is so, so great. It's .mov. I believe this feeling is called happiness.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

Hey, cool! And Kathy, your whitefont has me bouncing and squeeing, especially Sam seeing the star. How can I wait these last two weeks?!
