Will LOTR:ROTK Extended Edition Hit Cinemas?

Posted by timothy on from the I'd-pay-to-see-that dept.

yootje writes "Two articles today on TheOneRing.net about rumours that the extended edition from The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King will come in theaters before the release on DVD. The first article can be found here, the second one here. Both come from people who work in a cinema themselves, one in the UK and one in Denmark."

    But I think I'll watch the extended versions in the confort of my own home. Movie theaters don't have pause buttons.

    As with the two films before ROtK, I felt that there were places that were cut poorly, or didn't fit well together.

    Once I saw the finished extended editions, they were a more pleasant experience.

    After the "two-hour" limit is removed (even though ROtK was > 2 hours) it made a good deal of difference to the final output.

    I expect that ROtK EE will be in the same vein.
