Looks completely badass, by the way.

Not Orcrist [In reply to] Can't Post

I had kindof hoped that he would be holding Orcrist. (Correct me if I'm wrong, but that doesn't look like Orcrist to me.) I had hoped that they would've made a bigger deal about Thranduil keeping the sword instead of letting some dwarf use a blade of his people. Then it'd be a huge deal when Thranduil allows it to be buried with Thorin. Maybe we'll still get that stuff, just with Legolas instead of Thranduil. I guess that might set up LotR a bit better, and the negotiations leading up to the battle could be a nice place for a line or two regarding the sword. Perhaps I can hope!

I can't tell if it's Orcrist. [In reply to] Can't Post

The hilt kinda sorta resembles the shape that Orcrist is. But I can't quite tell.

Reminds me a lot... [In reply to] Can't Post

... of the Aragorn riding to war poster for RotK.

"I am afraid it is only too likely to be true what you say about the critics and the public. I am dreading the publication for it will be impossible not to mind what is said. I have exposed my heart to be shot at." J.R.R. Tolkien

We all have our hearts and minds one way or another invested in these books and movies. So we all mind and should show the necessary respect.

Not Orcrist [In reply to] Can't Post

It is Thranduil's sword. That sword has a distinctive pattern of black swirls adorning the hilt, which can be seen in the image if one looks closely.

Can't tell, but if it isn't Orcrist.... [In reply to] Can't Post

.. he's the King, doesn't it make sense that he would have his own special sword and might not want to set it aside for another?

Think it's fan art tho [In reply to] Can't Post

Like these:





Beautiful work to be sure - and not saying "fans" who may well be artists in their own right can't do as good, or often better, than whoever WB may hire, depending. I'm still thinking of the awful Empire collector's edition last year with the eagle and strange looking Thorin and Bilbo - meh.Unsure

Ah... Thanks, Elutherian [In reply to] Can't Post

Glad they used this shot for the poster instead of Thranduil on the Elk. Somehow seemed more in vibe with the badassery he gets up to in BotFAAngelicHeart

ETA: Poster is legit, Lee Pace tweeted it, and this is just one movie news site that carried it as well.

Nope, not Orcrist, and why would he be using Orcrist [In reply to] Can't Post

When he has his own beautiful sword anyway? And he has 2 of them to boot!

imo, Thranduil doesn't need to be seen using Orcrist in Battle for the big deal vibe to get through. Plus the big deal you're alluding to surely been's made the hell out of by Legolas when the Dwarves were captures in Mirkwood.

No, just no. Thranduil should be the one who lays it on Thorin's tomb, not Legolas. I can hope! Angelic

Amendment to ETA: Nope, not official apparently [In reply to] Can't Post

(reposting from the TA thread)

There was this...


And then this...

Clearly, some evil is at work to deceive even Thranduil... ... have to wonder though, does LP actually understand what he's potentially asking for?CrazyTongue

Lol [In reply to] Can't Post

I thought he might have been trolling when he asked for Thranduil fan art if he knows anything about Thranduil fans lol. But I think he probably just wanted to legitimately see some fan art, he seems like a nice guy.

He does seem like a genuinely nice guy who probably means it. There's been a few examples of his tweeting that well, supports thatSmile

Though on the authenticity of that still... came across this and now I'm a bit wha... what? So it is real or not? Sure have not seen them on the movie site itself but there's been a lot of movie news sites that's carried that story as I've mentioned. Now there's a whole slew of posters! http://purpleshield1548.tumblr.com/...-armies-promo-stills
