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.

    (with rumored extra 48 minutes of footage)

    That remindes me of an Onion side story title: "DVD contains two hours of previously unseen movie"

    I think George Lucas should watch the DVD extras so he can learn a thing or two about making good movies.

    I'm a poor college student and I was so happy that I could spend $30 on a 4 Disc DVD, and get a FREE (afternoon shows here are $5.50) showing of the newest LOTR movie. It was very nice walking in to the theature after classes, handing them my coupon, and sneaking a bottle over to the water fountain because I was too broke to even afford a drink.

    Wait a sec. You were broke, but still had the $30 to spend on a 4 Disc DVD? That's sick.

    Broke is broke. Having $30 to by a movie that you have the luxury to have a DVD player to play in is NOT broke.

    So sayeth the fat white computer dude with a good job, and who worries about buying that new Wolverine XBox game 'cause he hears it kind of sucks. -buf

    If you were really dedicated, you would've sold your plasma, too, and seen the movie twice or more ;)

    You could lose even more weight that way, too.

    They're still trying to find an icon of Bender's shiny metal ass.

    Star Wars for example, will we ever see a digital DVD compilation? You think you'll see a Analog DVD Compilation?

  9. 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.
