Cannes 2001 preview reel.

Didn't know if this has been officially released publicly, but saw this link to it on that popular video sharing site, so I guess it's been making the rounds. Has the Peter Jackson and Ian McKellen intro, some alternate takes, angles and cut-scene snippits, that I see have been shared in other threads, here. https://sp.rmbl.ws/.../V/5/D/IV5Dk.haa.mp4
1080p stream

Friend has informed me (must have escaped my brain-cell), that this was included within the 4K Collectors box-set, as an extra. Oops! If I'm violating/infringeing, please remove this post. :-x

Lifelong fan and I'd never seen that before. It was a jaw-dropper. If I had been an international distributor at Cannes that year I would have traded a literal arm and leg to get my hands on that movie. What an epic reel.

"Thank you. And so it goes with God."

"By Elbereth and Luthien the fair, you shall have neither the Ring nor me!" ~Frodo
"And then Gandalf arose and bid all men rise, and they rose, and he said: 'Here is a last hail ere the feast endeth. Last but not least. For I name now those who shall not be forgotten and without whose valour nought else that was done would have availed; and I name before you all Frodo of the Shire and Samwise his servant. And the bards and the minstrels should give them new names: Bronwe athan Harthad and Harthad Uluithiad , Endurance beyond Hope and Hope Unquenchable.." ~Gandalf, The End of the Third Age , from The History of Middle Earth series

I had read about the preview reel and it's impact, but had never seen it. (I don't have the 4k set.)
No wonder it made an impact! Now it's interesting to compare this footage to the movies in their final form.

Thanks for posting this! The last LOTR home video release I purchased was the Blu-ray version of the EEs (including the Costa Botes documentaries), and if I heard about the Cannes reel being included with one of the 4K releases, that knowledge had slipped my mind. It was fun to note the little differences in dialogue, and I grinned at how the Balrog's appearance was tilted much more towards shadow than fire, since they were so intent on keeping the design secret.

Fantasy lit being derivative of Tolkien is kind of par for the course no?
This got me thinking.
What are the great high fantasy novels post Tolkien that are NOT extremely derivative? Any recommendations?
I'd love to get into a great story or series but I always get so distracted by the tedious and derivative nature of most fantasy storytelling.
Any good works out there you can send my way that are exceptions to this?
For example - the Narnia stories, or the Earthsea novels are all terrific and overlap in some ways (magic, talking animals, wizards, dragons etc) without feeling like photocopies of photocopies.
What's out there?

Garth Nix's Old Kingdom trilogy is worth a look.

They're YA but Nix still wigged me out during book one - Sabriel, Lirael and Abhorsen. All three are excellent.
Also try The Fifth Season by N K Jemisin (followed by The Obelisk Gate and The Stone Sky).
Celebrimbor: "Pretty rings..."
Dwarves: "Pretty rings..."
Men: "Pretty rings..."
Sauron: "Mine's better."
"Ah, how ironic, the addictive qualities of Sauron’s master weapon led to its own destruction. Which just goes to show, kids - if you want two small and noble souls to succeed on a mission of dire importance... send an evil-minded beggar with them too." - Gandalf's Diaries, final par, by Ufthak.
