...if the movie doesn't work it doesn't matter how long it is. 'dune' was long ... and it was (being diplomatic) weak! the 'letter of support' offers jackson support for making it the way he needs to, to tell the story ... no one supposes that he 'must give us 4 hours' ... just to say 'we support' . many of the best (many award winning) films (das boot, last emperor, lawrence of arabia, seven samurai, etc) have been long ... because the story took time to tell.
...and i'm sure we'll still get a 'regular' dvd released next year... then one with extra footage later... that's just too easy!

SHARING THIS QUOTE IN SUPPORT OF PETER JACKSON'S VISION OF THE TWO TOWERS:
Hi Everyone! We wanted to say thank you so much for your signature and to update you all with what has been happening with the Letter of Support for The Two Towers. We have had wonderful response so far to this idea and have been receiving all kinds of information, from very creditable sources, regarding the production and marketing of this film. The general consensus is that this is NOT an issue that has been decided as yet. There is talk among the movie executives about a 4hr vs. a 3hr movie and its being reported that there is over 10hrs of usable film from Helms Deep alone - WOW! There are reports that some movie decision makers are nervous of not making as much with a 4hour version, we've also heard that some think the 4hr version would bring in more Oscars, which means more money! Also word of a possible split, a 3hr and a 4hr version running at same theaters on different screens is making the rounds. So while we don't know what the final decision may be we want to get the word out about the letter of support. Support for New Line but especially Peter Jackson being able to create the best movie possible no matter the running time. If you want and can help, please get out the message to as many as you can to sign the support letter, if you wish please feel free to use the attachment below. Remember the key word here is Support! Thank you all again for your signatures, AND Here's to a wonderful movie! And please remember, the site will only be up through 8-18! Thanks and happy viewing! www.dodgeandassociates.com/bqlotr
