Full-Length 'Lord of the Rings' Trailer To Air On TV
Monday, September 24, 2001 12:00 AM EDT
Tolkien buffs on a quest for anything to do with the upcoming "Fellowship of the Ring" movie should make sure they are in front of their TV sets Monday night.
The Zap2It.com website says a full-length trailer for the opening chapter in director Peter Jackson's adaptation of "Lord Of The Rings" will air at 9 p.m., during the season premiere of the WB's "Angel".
Given the anticipation surrounding "Fellowship," it's very possible that the trailer may reverse the usual TV advertising arrangement: Instead of the trailer gaining exposure to "Angel's" audience, the TV show will very likely benefit from the rabid interest of "Rings'" army of fans.
Fans of the movie have feasted on a 30-second clip for "Fellowship Of The Ring" after it aired during the MTV Video Music Awards, so expect more of the same following Monday's trailer debut.
