Jackson Lengthens 'Rings' Film By Nearly aThird for DVD

[LiviaOlivia]

The extended version of Peter Jackson's The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King, due to be released on Dec. 14, will add 50 minutes to the original theatrical version of the film, the Hollywood Reporter reported today (Monday). "With even more added footage than the special extended editions of The Fellowship of the Ring and The Two Towers, this new version of The Return of the King is truly a landmark cinematic experience," New Line Home Entertainment president and COO Stephen Einhorn told the trade publication.
The four-disc set will have a suggested retail price of about $40.

1. UGH, who has time to watch all these long ass DVD's?!?!

with their 12 hours of bonus features and hours of commentary and 'making of' features and freakin' extended versions with deleted scenes

WHO ACTUALLY WATCHES ALL THAT CRAP? I'm lucky if I can sit through the movie itself.

3. I do

I love these films. The extended versions are even better.

2. Good. Maybe it'll make some sense to me now. :-)

My ten-year-old understands it, and loves it, but I can't "get it." The dead horse, the well, the fly on the screen...how does it all fit together? :shrug:

Edit: Oh fart! I thought you meant "The Ring." That's what I get for just reading the thread title and not the post. Oh well, I'll leave this up--maybe someone will get a laugh at my stupidity. :-)

7. there is a sequel

that actually goes into more details surrounding the girl - but as far as piecing together why they couldn't stop her, the clues are all there! watch it again ;)

6. Well he DID leave out the entire endin' o'the book.........

...Frodo and Sam's return to the Shire....he ended it on a happier note but it wasn't true to the genius of Tolkein IMHO! x(


I did love the movies though...don't get me wrong.

8. yes and if he does the ending i think he's going to do

then you know who gets to make another on-screen appearance, cause lord knows i wasn't too impressed with him in the OTHER trilogy ;)
