i'm sorry to hear that the trailer won't work fo ryou--- do you need to install a Flash Player or something?
It's probably some overlap with Sil but here's what was said about it: The Children of Hùrin was one of three Great Tales begun by J.R.R. Tolkien as he recovered from the horrors of the First World War, and he worked on refining and improving it for the rest of his life. This tragic tale of adventure, heroism, suffering and love stands as one of the finest expressions of his skills as a storyteller and the narrative is as powerful as anything contained within The Lord of the Rings. Painstakingly reconstructed by Christopher Tolkien from his father’s manuscripts, it can finally be enjoyed as the author originally intended. So there *will* be additional material probably and to have it as one full-length book is interesting too-- i mean i've read UT and Sil about Turin but as many places have said, this one is a full-length story so there must be additional stuff that is worth reading about. :) And it's Tolkien. Can't get better than that. ;)
