Realm of the Ring brightens up the Nazgul picture - Lord of the Rings news - J.R.R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings

In our desperate search for new LOTR movie-related news we have uncovered a secret image retouching project published by The Realm of the Ring. They are brightening the picture of the Nazgul charging across a road on horseback.

Okay, maybe it's not quite so secret a project. In a bold move they have placed AFTER and BEFORE images of the scan on their Web site. The image is taken from the licensing show poster recently scanned and made available by Dark Horizons.

Nazgul appear to be charging along a dirt road, probably The Road (between Bree and Rivendell), perhaps near the Ford of Bruinen or possibly in pursuit of Gandalf as he leaves Weathertop. The shot is one of several depictions of the Nazgul from Peter Jackson's "The Lord of the Rings" movies being filmed in New Zealand. New Line Cinema and Three Foot Six studios seem to have no problem with showing off the Nazgul, but they are limiting images of Sauron, the Big Baddie of the movie, to one highly acclaimed shot published on E! Online's Force of Hobbit.

In a stunning exclusive revelation, Xenite.Org's top-flight analysis of the new image reveals that one of the Nazguls is wearing a Rolex knockoff on his left boot. When we play the image backwards, we can distinctly hear the words, "Paul is dead. I killed Paul."

And can you see the Ent in the trees behind them?
