Part 2/7:
Both trailers commence with visuals from Peter Jackson's original trilogy, signaling a narrative continuity within the same universe. The Japanese trailer opens beautifully at Rivendell, showcasing scenes with the One Ring and Frodo, complemented by narration from Elrond. This narration sets the stage for the war against the Ring, but intriguingly introduces an untold story that takes place 200 years prior.
The visuals reveal a mix of familiar imagery, including the menacing Mumakil heading towards Edoras, and a cavalry of Rohan calling back to epic moments from "The Return of the King." Liana appreciates the aesthetic choices, particularly in recreating the atmosphere of Meduseld, the Royal Hall, showcasing a vibrant and detailed set design.
