New poster on Tumblr Can't Post

This has appeared on Tumblr - not sure if this is an official Japanese (or maybe Chinese?) poster:

This one [In reply to] Can't Post

is actually much better than the Dwarf collages, IMO.

WOW [In reply to] Can't Post

Now I hope THAT'S the official poster. Looks amazing, the best we've got thus far, with Bilbo/Sting coming in second. And it's got a FotR vibe to it, as well. I think we'll see this poster roll out either tomorrow or Tuesday (English versions).

Not perfect but i expected something like that as the official poster. [In reply to] Can't Post

Instead we got that unfortunate dwarf group photo. What were they thinking? I guess, i'm beating a dead horse... Unsure

the root post to make it clickable.

A handy tip: Even if the link is not clickable, depending on your broswer you may still be able to open it without cutting and pasting. Just highlight the link and right click. Many browsers will pop up a menu allowing you to open the link in a new tab or window. Makes it nice and easy.

Hi and welcome to TORn Elena! [In reply to] Can't Post

I was just wondering, could you translate the writing in the poster just above "The Hobbit" for us? Thanks! Smile

I am almost positive that this is the official poster [In reply to] Can't Post

It is almost completely parallel to the FOTR one! Just compare them: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Lord_of_the_Rings:_The_Fellowship_of_the_Ring

Bilbo corresponds with Frodo. Gandalf and Gollum correspond with Aragorn and Arwen. Thorin = Gandalf and Galadriel = Galadriel. The three trolls correspond with the three other hobbits. Radagast corresponds with BLG. And the dwarves are EXACTLY where the nazgul are in the FOTR poster!

SO COOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Blush

Thank you [In reply to] Can't Post

For the translation! That's pretty cool; it sounds like a good tagline for the movie. I can't wait to see this poster at the movie theaters (assuming it is the official one).

It might be the official japanese poster* [In reply to] Can't Post

But i doubt it's official official, if you know what i mean. It's less than 3 weeks till release, they won't put out a poster now.

*although strange there are two Thorins - kinda sloppy

My favorite yet! [In reply to] Can't Post

I really hope they make this the official poster...or at least make an english print.

The double Thorin is sloppy... so replace big Thorin with Elrond! or remove Thorin from the group. Then it'll be perfect!!

But one Thorin is big [In reply to] Can't Post

And one is fairly small with the group of dwarves. Think about it, he's probably the third biggest character in the movies so he deserves to be featured with Bilbo and Gandalf. But also, what is a group shot of Thorin and Company without Thorin? Thus, I think it makes sense to use him twice. Evil

Double Thorin... [In reply to] Can't Post

Other than that, I'm happy!
I really liked that one, and I hope (if an angle from above replaces the big Thorin with Elrond) that this may be the final poster!
