Posted by timothy on from the storks-and-cigars-all-around dept.

sbowles writes "DVDAnswers is reporting that New Line plans to release the four-disc extended edition of Return of the King on the 14th of December. As of yet, the LotR official site has not posted an official release date or an official list of contents for the set. This older IGN article gives some great details on the sneak preview presented at the San Diego Comic Con."

      You won't get that until after the prequels and sequels are done.

  3. Cue the adjective jokes by rd_syringe · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Let us rally together and write trite "Super Ultra Mega-Expanded Edition" jokes as though you didn't know there has been a theatrical release and an extended release since 2002 and that New Line and Peter Jackson weren't open about it all along. Bonus points for a George Lucas reference, especially if you use "Lucas" as a verb.

    Remember, you must exaggerate that there is a theatrical release and then half a year later an expanded release. You must make it sound like there are multiple versions. "Super Duper Triple Mega Ultra Redux Version Mod Me +5 Funny Because I Use Lots Of Adjectives Edition."

    Do we get to find out what happens to Saruman? Or does he go "poof" like "The Scouring of the Shire" did, too?
