RotK Delayed Until May 2004

Posted by timothy on from the waiting-for-moore's-law-to-catch-up dept.

An anonymous reader writes "New Line Cinema's The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King, will be held for domestic release until Wednesday, May 12, 2004. The effects work on this third and final film of the trilogy will surpass its predecessors in scope and intensity, and the producers as well as director Peter Jackson feel that the extra time will cement the film's status as the king of fantasy films and the crowning jewel of New Line's massive effort to bring J.R.R. Tolkien's epic to the screen."

    ...that this is a hoax. Visit lordoftherings.net (the official movie site). No report there of pushing back the release date, and the date at the top of the home page still says 12/17/2003... You people sure are easy to fool!
