ROTK Extended Edition [merged]

also which exa/cyn said along ago, we will get to see what happens to the flags and horses of the Gondor/Rohan/Dunedain soldiers at the black gate

cool

There's one error in the film messed up (theatrical).

Now if only they could go back and photoshop in some crumbs on Sam during their talk, that would actually make that scene really good.

right

Is there a burning of the Shire?

hope so

No, there isn't.

yea peter jackson never liked that part in the book, he never shot it, i kinda found it a bit dragging in the book after the destruction of the ring and all their toil to keep the shire safe and its still gets ruined, kinda dumb really. Glad it isnt in the film.

Tolkien added that scene just to continue the story. He wasn't sure how he wanted it to end.

i knew it was an add on, it just felt like pasted on just to make it a bit more lengthier, i was not a fan of that scene.

umm, the original came out in May, I have heard CHristmas, but I don't know. They may be working on it right now, so it may not come out till later. I've heard that it takes 3 months to do the extra stuff and organize it. I've also heard that they have an August 1st deadline, but I'm not sure if they have to turn in the EE at that time, or if they just have to have it finished by that time.

I read in a Starlog magazine, Fantasy WOrlds #4 (I think) that The producer Osborne said he wanted to do the Hobbit, but they would have to secure the rights first.

Ok, you guys are crazy, every single person that I know personally wanted to see the SotS (copyright Lady_Eowyn_Of_Rohan 2004) because that was their favorite part. I have heard that there will be scenes from SotS. Things like Saruman's death.

Tolkien wasn't exactly sure how he wanted it to end, but SotS is not just a filler. It is there to show how much the Hobbits have grown. Physically, emotionally etc. It's there to show them handling a situation by themselves, and to show how a few good and willing "people" and a bad situation can turn out for the good. And it is also a closer of sorts. Things do happen that you would have to read the index to know, like Sam is elected mayor of Hobbiton for seven years in a row.

Maybe they could make a SotS movie, and make it an average length movie. That would be fun, I'd have to go find the casting calls though. 😄 😄

OH NOOO!!!!

cry

According to "Video Business", the EE won't be published until - DECEMBER
*starts crying*

because most actors are busy with other projects and so the Audiocommentary will take a while 🙁 🙁

meh......😒:

✅

🙁 🙁

Hope the magazine was wrong... though it usually only has insider information 🙁

if I could be bothered searching through dvd review magazine it would probably give us a date

i still bid for November

New rumours ~
Different online-DVD-shops mostly give November or December as the publishing dates for the EE, for example play.com and vanleest.nl say it'll be Nov 22

But there are also different infos - Ian Brodie, author of the the "LOTR Location Guide" [cool book, but SO expensive 🙁] for example, says that NLC is considering to publish the EE even later because they want to show in theatre, too - this time not only in some few cinemas (like the first two editions), but make it available for all cinemas.

Nothing of this has been confirmed yet though.

I rely on play.com or dvd review magazine........so I must believe you 🙂

the theaterical version DVD said coming this holiday season, which holiday though, maybe 4th of July, maybe Thanksgiving, who knows they didnt even have a preview of the extended cut on the dvd extras, i was really pissed bout that.

~ new releasing dates...

According to PJ, it will be published in November, new material between 40 and 60 minutes;

Barrie Osbourne, producer, says that it might be December though 🙁 [latest info]
