Return of the King Coming Sooner to DVD

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the i-want-the-extended-version-now dept.

daveewart writes "According to the BBC, the DVD for the third installment of Lord Of The Rings will go to DVD quicker than either of the first two parts of the trilogy. It is scheduled for release on 25 May, with the usual 'extended version' to follow 'at the end of the year'." Ya know, I feel like a month after I buy the extended version, they'll release the super-trilogy version with more footage.

    Im sure i have read before that peter jackson stated that the trilogy edition WON'T have any new film footage. Im still kind of dubious myself but I guess I'll have to wait and see....

  2. New DVD player... by TonyZahn · · Score: 0, Redundant

    As soon as ROTK comes on in the extended version, I'm buying it and a new DVD player with a 5-disk (6 if they have one) changer. Then it's time for the all-day, 12-hour nerdathon!!

    I don't know if my butt (or my couch) can handle it, but it's worth a shot.
