Extra Scenes in TTT Extended Edition DVD

Posted by michael on from the more-ents dept.

gdr writes "USA Today have an article about the extra scenes that will be in The Two Towers Extended Edition. More ent scenes so it'll be worth watching for the special effects alone. Sadly it looks like there will be no extra gollum scenes. I can't say I'm as excited about this one as the FotR EE."

  1. waiting to buy? by Traderdot · · Score: 5, Interesting

    I wonder how many people are holding off on buying the dvds until all three movies are out? I know I'd like to own the dvds but I'm waiting for the super box set of the extended versions of the entire trilogy to come out. same with the matrix trilogy. wonder if this waiting is affecting their sales figures.

    This may apply to most movies, but not to TLOTR.

    The LOTR-movies are cut down because a 4 hour-beast is not acceptable for a movie that has to make a lot of money.

    Most poeple I know, at least the geeks and especially those who read the book, found the longer version of the fellowship a _lot_ better.

    My opinion after seeing it in the theater was that we were short-changed on the Ents. They play a very important role in the book (aren't they actually the ones that win Helm's deep? Sneak in at night and rip the orc armies to bits?)

    While it's not heavy on details it mentions the Ent's draught and Merry and Pippin getting taller, which I thought would have been worth putting in the movie. Glad to see it will be there now.

    I think I'm actually looking more forward to the TTT Special Edition than I was FotR because I've seen how much extra goodness was added to FotR.
