I still think that the speech in the trailer is Aragorns. In fact I have listened to it perhaps a dozen of more times and the voice is Viggo’s.<BR>The description of Theoden’s speech does not necessarily negate this. As I see it there a couple of scenarios. <BR>The first and most likely is that there are several ‘rousing’ speeches in the film. I have no doubt that Theoden makes one but I would guess that Aragorn will make one before going to the Black Gate too. Lets face it, one Hell of a rousing speech would be required before I would go to certain death at the Black Gate.<BR>The other and less likely possibility is that the Viggo says the speech in the trailer and yet in the film it is Theoden. I recall another film (I forget the name of it) wherein certain lines in the trailer were spoken by the ‘name actor’ and not the person who said them in the subsequent film, maybe due to audience recognition of some such. As I say not likely but possible.<P>Having listened to the trailer so closely I still believe that the likely option is that it is Aragorn and that Theoden’s speech is a different one.
