The Two Towers DVD Release Dates

Posted by timothy on from the waiting-for-the-hi-def-version dept.

FortKnox writes "Mark these dates on your Calendar: 8/26/03 & 11/18/03. These are the (US) DVD release dates for The Two Towers. Like Fellowship, the first date is the release of the DVD, and the November date is the release of the special edition (with rumored extra 48 minutes of footage). Another one ring.net page has more details on the actual footage."

    If by 6/28/2003 you mean 8/26/2003 (bit of an odd typo...), then yes, that is the expected release date for TTT :)

    Here's the Official Site if you don't believe someone's scanner for this info.

  2. The Two Towers - Purist Edit by tangent3 · · Score: 5, Informative

    For those who are interested, there is a "Purist Edit" of The Two Towers floating around the Edonkey network. The quality isn't that great, being a rip of a rip squeezing 2 hours and 15 mins into 1 CD.

    The purpose of the edit is to make the movie follow more closely to the original books. It's amazing the work the editor has done by selectively removing scenes and rearranging them - without messing up the sound synchronisation. Now there are no longer any elves in Helm's Deep, Faramir is a good guy again, and the ents aren't idiots anymore.
