Just in time for Xmas!

I guess Saruman gets his ass kicked in this one, amongst many other goodies, including a lot more action

The Return of the King" will feature 50 additional minutes of new footage, a new musical score and a cameo appearance of Jackson being felled by an arrant arrow. All DVD and VHS extended versions of "King" will be featured in a widescreen format with Dolby Digital EX 5.1 Surround Sound, DTS ES 6.1 Surround Sound and stereo surround sound.

There's part of my xmas pressy sorted out. Now if I can just persuade the wife to add a decent bike to that too....

I'll definitely be getting this!

supposed to have a lot more stuff and even new special effects........

:thumbsup

I hope they made the ending shorter

Great post. I was trying to find out the release date of the extended version just the other day and got no where. Thanks man!!

Nice, Ill pick that up

np bud...........the box set looks really cool

The Return of the King *IS* the ending.

This is going to rock. But can you imagine sitting through and watching all extended versions back to back? Damn!

would have to break that up into 3 diff. nights methinks

i'll wait for that one!:)

I think it would be nice if you could watch them all 3 pieced together with no credits at all. just one continuous film. would be kinda cool.

I would like a shortened version not extended

I'm gonna get my Gf a new computer for christmass .

My daugter a new bed and 12 walt disney videos :)

Dunno what I'm getting yet

I want 6.1 surround now. Me and my measely 5.1.

Yeah some of the longing hobbit eye contact at the end made me a bit sleepy. They should have parted ways like guys normally do....


Frodo: yeah im gonna head out with gandalf. take a boat trip..I'll holler at you fools later.

Sam: Aight nigga be good, dont do anything I wouldnt do.

Merry: next ring war, beers are on me!

Frodo: Aight then, sounds like a plan...ima hold ya to it.

Pippin: vomiting in corner


Fade to black...aaaaaaaaand...roll credits.

Funny you should say that...........I the Extended Version, one of the scenes will be a drinking contest between Legolas and Gimli.......thats no shit........it will be in there, to see who can outdrink who, a dwarf or an elf..........and they both get really shit-faced.

Just wonder if they will add the reclaiming of the shire back in or did they even film that part of the movie? where grima and saruman meet their final end.

This movie is going to rosk....I agree you have to break it up into 3 nights..

nope, no razing of and reclaiming of the shire in it..........Jackson figured the movie would be 5 hrs long if he included that as that part is a whole build up, climax, and resolution itself........too long........but, yes, grima and sauruman do meet their end in the EE version :thumbsup
