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."

    Well, he could always pursue a career in the mortuary. As you may very well know, the cold slab in the basement of your favorite hospital is one of the most sexually charged atmospheres you'll find outside of my bedroom. You'd be well advised to dabble in the dark art for a few years of your life, for the experience and sexual awakening alone. When you couple this with solid health care coverage, deceny pay, and great hours it becomes quite clear that no other job comes close. So, check it out!

    Dead people are not just for fucking anymore.
    Oh, wait - no, my mistake: they're still just for fucking.
