I know you do, but it has not been released yet! JUST KIDDING! I posted it below! What do you guys think? Thumbs up, down, or to the side?

I am giving a THUMBS UP! He is a perfect mix of sweet, scary, and blending in. He looks like a real tree, but he has just enough magical look for you to notice him. He looks sad, but I guess Treebeard is sad for all the trees Saruman is destroying. WETA has outdone themselves. Beautiful!

I think he looks amazing. I love the eyes and I'm curious to hear him speak.

You wouldn't happen to have a picture of Gollum's face too, dh1989?

Here is cool shot of Sam grabbing Gollum! As for the eyes, he is blinking, I s'pose, but it is a cool shot of face and upper body.

Another cool photo on the net is this Grima trading card. It is really spooky. I think Brad Dourif is going to be great as the slimeball. I look forward to his performance. Here is the shot....

Well I couldn't have said it better. That's absolutely fantastic!

They succeeded! He looks like, a tree!! I always thought James Earl Jones should have been the voice for Treebeard, but I guess John Rhys Davies will do.

I dunno, it looks a lot like what would be an illustration for the book. I'm not too sure it's really from the movie. I'm not hugely impressed with the still image, but I'm sure the moving Treebeard will be amazing in the movie.

Well I was always worried about the look of Treebeard, based on the fact that pictures of him from John howe and Alan lee are all very dodgy! Have you seen them? He looks scary.
Here he looks sad, and you have some kind of sympathy for him, instead of thinking he looks like a freak.
