LotR: RotK Extended Edition Preview Available

Topoimagery writes "After months of speculation and a few low-quality bootleg video clips, we finally get some official video from New Line. The Official Lord of the Rings Site has a preview of the upcoming Return of the King EE in Quicktime format. Here are direct links to the small version (4 MB) and large version (9 MB). Highlights include Voice of Saruman, Mouth of Sauron, Houses of Healing, and Aragorn confronting Sauron. Released date is December 14, and you can pre-order now. (For those of you who can't get enough spoilers, here's a site describing all anticipated new scenes on the DVD)."

Re:Super Box Set?

Maybe they should put the DVDs in a spindle, or it just won't fit in the box..

Endings?

[Anonymous Coward]

How many more endings does it have?

Re:Endings?

[hsa]

I personally would like to see the ending where they attack Shire and do some killing.

That ending was probably removed, so they could have half an hour of that cheesy stuff..

oh boy oh boy oh boy!

[ilovelinux]

oh man, I can't wait! I'm so exited I think I just pissed myself! Extended edition 3 movie marathon coming up!

This is going to be awesome!

I bet you'll piss yourself a few more times if you watch all three EEs nonstop ;)

Don't sweat it... The Ultra Extruded Warchest edition comes with a pair of Depends adult undergarments.

yes but...

[m0RpHeus]

Yes, but does it include the very important character and scenes?

50 more minutes!

[UnknowingFool]

Note to self:
1)Clear out 1 day to watch LOTR:RTK extended edition
2)Get those adult diapers that I used last year for LOTR:RTK movie edition out of storage.

I knew those would come in handy again.

From the linked site http://www.rotk-see.de.vu/ :

If www.rotk-see.de.vu one day suddenly does not work, try http://home.datacomm.ch/betaversion/index.html . If this site is can not be visited, try alternatively the following URL (this is an other server and can not be destroyed): http://www.hdr-see.de/ - Webmaster Indrid Cold E-Mail

Cannot be destroyed? Never underestimate the Slashdot Effect...

Re:Cannot be destroyed?

[jolyonr]

Maybe this 'other server' server needs to be dumped into Mount Doom?

Re:Cannot be destroyed?

[malex23]

This URL cannot be destroyed, Apocamok, son of Armageddaman, by any craft that we here possess. The URL was made in the servers of Mount Doom. Only there can it be unmade. It must be taken deep into Mordor, and cast back into the fiery WYSIWYG from whence it came. One of you must do this.

What is the sound of ten thousand geeks updating the Amazon.com wish list all at once?

Re:They are really milking it with all these DVDs

[Anonymous Coward]

You compiled your own elvish dictionary, you have a 4-digit UID, and you've gotten laid? You sir, have the life.

So if this is a preview

[Laebshade]

Does that mean this preview is the original theatre release of LOTR:ROTK? ;)

Re:Not /.'ed ?

[Aero Leviathan]

Did you not see 'AOL.com' in the URL? They will handle your pitiful 'Slashdot effect'.

Oh, I'm afraid the web site will be quite operational, young Skywalker... heh heh he--oh, er, wrong movie.

Come not between the Slashdot and his prey...

What about VHS?

[whynotme]

And how about a release date for the extended edition "super" box set on VHS? :-)

Not good enough

[ballpoint]

I'm waiting for the extended edition box set in WMVHD 1080p.

Please don't mod me Funny: I mean it.

As Terry Pratchett said

[pommiekiwifruit]

I won't reveal the working title of my next book since otherwise amazon will be taking pre-orders for it by tommorrow...

Re:Scouring of the Shire

[Lethyos]

removing the unnecessary Arwen scenes to compensate

Yes, how perfectly Slashdot-nerdesque: remove the hot, busty chick with the sheer top so that we can see a bunch of short, fat, hairy hobbits run around and beat up on old wizzards. Sheesh man, get your priorities straight! ;)

What About Critical Scenes Cut From TTT?

[Lethyos]

I'm very disappointed that Peter Jackson has decided not to include a very important scene in The Two Towers. One day I hope that future generations will get to see these movies with the badger scenes fully restored...
