And a theatrical release time of 3 1/2 hours should mean a DVD of 4 to 4 1/2 hours. So perhaps various events won't be broken up/passed over too quickly, especially since Shelob et. al. have to be covered.
Will Cirith Ungol and the Watchers be covered? Hmm. I hope that great Elf-warrior doesn't scare Captain Shagrat too much. Like Snaga said: "There's a great fighter about, one of those bloody-handed Elves, or one of the filthy tarks."

They've been saying no extended DVD will be coming. They've been saying the theatrical will be equal to an extended edition. I thought there was a topic for this. Man, I'm the thread nazi today.

![]() Maybe they just want to be DONE with it!!! PJ especially may be ready for a break.
Besides, then they can work up a special edition of the entire production for fall of 2004... striking while the iron is hot, rather than stretching it out another year. They have certainly made a lot of money already - probably beyond their wildest dreams (what had their stock done since 1998 or so - I wonder?). They may just be more interested in pursuing personal satisfaction with it at this point...? |

I took this to mean that the theatrical version will be 3.5 hours, so we can look forward to 4 hours or more on an extended release. That makes a lot more sense to me, and would make sense for New Line as well. I hope this is the case.

My guess is the situation will be the same for all 3, so we should expect a 4 hour or so version of The Return of the King in November 2004 ! Of course, I could be wrong, but, like I say, there's no evidence to suggest they're planning on changing the sequence of a winning formula.. Personally I thikn that would be unwise |
