(I don't know if this was already mentioned but here it goes anyway)
The Lord of the Rings: Return of the King EE will include the following EE.
Spoiler tags just in case for the people who haven't seen or Read Return of the King, Which I doubt,but here it goes.[SPOILER - highlight to read]: This one isn’t going to come as a surprise, but for the record: we’ll be seeing Gandalf and company confronting Saruman after the Helm’s Deep battle, followed by the multi-coloured one falling to his death.
- Merry will pledge his allegiance to Theoden in a scene similar to the Pippin/Denethor bit. Toss points out that shots from this scene have appeared in an early ROTK teaser, as well as a *very* early LOTR teaser from way back in the beginning.
- Following his acceptance of Anduril from Elrond, Aragorn uses the Palantir to reveal himself to Sauron. Sauron shows him a vision of Arwen’s sickness. This stuff was used instead during the dream sequence just before Elrond arrives at Dunharrow in the theatrical cut.
- From the horse’s mouth: ‘Remember the scene in which the Witch King is asked what he’s going to do with Gandalf, and he says I will break him? This pays off big time in a battle between the Witch King and Gandalf as Gandalf and Pippin ride to save Faramir from the pyre. At the end of the battle, the Witch King breaks Gandalf’s staff and then the Rohirrim turn up and the Witch King gets distracted. The beginning of this confrontation is one of the $$$ shots in the ROTK trailer: the Witch King’s fell beast landing on the ramparts in front of Gandalf and Pippin on Shadowfax.’
- ‘We see Gamling die on the Pelennor Fields theres a quick shot of Eomer bawling in the ROTK trailer.’
- ‘In the Houses of Healing, Aragorn heals Faramir, who then meets Eowyn and they fall in love. Aww.’
- ‘A disguised Frodo and Sam join a column of marching orcs on the way to Mt Doom. Their master is a ferocious orc captain with a whip. Remember the line heard over the sweeping shot of the orcs marching down through Mordor right after the Cirith Ungol sequence? That’s him, yelling Come on you slugs!.’
- ‘The Mouth of Sauron scene changes the emphasis of the entire final battle between men and orcs at the Black Gates. In the theatrical cut, Aragorn and Co. ride up to the gates, they open, and orcs come out to fight. In the extended version, they are greeted by the Mouth of Sauron (played by the Matrix’s Train Man, Bruce Spence), who has pointy teeth and a pointy helmet that covers his eyes (he doesn't need them, see? He's just a mouth). He rides out to show the heroes Frodos mithril vest, recently stolen by the orcs at Cirith Ungol, and to let them know that Frodo is dead and the ring is on its way to Sauron. Aragorn believes him, and the heroes despair. Going into battle at the Black Gates, the heroes have no hope at all it’s their last stand for sure, and Aragorn’s line 'for Frodo' refers to his sacrifice, not to buying time.’
The first cut of the ROTK was originally 4 hours and 55 minutes long.. but you cant expect people to be in a cinema for that long... its ´different with the DVD... With the DVD you can sit, lie down walk around.. watch over several nights.. That gives the movie a whole new dynamic.. so I can reassure fans and others that the DVD version of ROTK is going to be even longer than 4 hours and 55 minutes... ".. Says Peter Jackson and laughs.We've also heard that the drinking game at Edoras between Gimli and Legolas will be added back in, along with possibly more footage showing other characters going into the West at the end of the film.
Oscar-winning epic The Return Of The King is to be the first Lord Of The Rings film to get a summer release on DVD.
The all-conquering finale of Peter Jackson's Middle Earth trilogy will be available to buy on DVD from May 25, three months earlier than previous installments The Fellowship Of The Ring and The Two Towers.
However, the director's cut of the Sir Ian McKellen-starring film will not be ready until winter 2004.

This is all good news. The spoilers seem great. I believe that the ROTK EE will be just as magical and mythical as Jackson’s other 2 instalments. My only query, will the scouring of the shire be featured? Most people would say no. But we see this vision in Galadriel’s mirror from Frodo. I really hope we do see this. It would round of the story perfectly, and be a fitting tribute to Jackson’s stunning work, while staying as close to the original story as possible.
How do you know for sure no HoH? I bet it is on there, regardless, it will be great, but I am wondering how they will have the Faramir, Eowyn additions without HoH.... Is this 100% for sure? I simply cannot wait regardless though, I hope it is November!
