The Trilogy as One

Posted by michael on from the my-precious dept.

jmays writes "New Line is re-releasing 'The Fellowship of the Ring' and 'The Two Towers' except this time, in their respective extended versions. When? Once each week for the two weeks prior to the opening of 'The Return of the King.'"

  1. Dec. 16th Marathons by Chaltek · · Score: 5, Informative

    Perhaps more exciting than the extended edition re-releases is the promise of marathon showings December 16th.

    TTT @ 1900
    ROTK @ 2300

    Not only can you to see the entire story at once, but beat all the other line-standing fans by 1 whole hour!
    That must count for some serious geek points in the grand scheme of things.

    Call your favorite theater today and request that they carry this special engagement. If they won't, drive to a big city, this ought to be worth it!

    Just to be clear, these are being released in the theaters. Not on VHS / DVD, which was my immediate thought.

    Plan calls for putting the films on 100-150 screens in top 10 U.S. markets. Many other U.S. cities will have one cinema participating in the special extended edition screenings. Running times for the extended editions are 208 minutes for "Fellowship of the Ring" and 214 minutes for "The Two Towers."

    It's no longer slashdotted - so if people feel like reading the article on our site, at least we'll get some advertising revenue to pay for the rest of the /.ing bandwidth.... - co-sysadmin of TORn
