ROTK:EE Trailer Released
artemis67 writes "A six-minute trailer for The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King, Extended Edition, has been released, and it's quite good. We get to see some snippets of the final confrontation between Gandalf and Saruman, as well as some other intriguing scenes that will add a lot of depth to the final movie. The Extended Edition will add an additional 50 minutes to the film, bring the total for the Extended trilogy to 11 hours and 20 minutes."
...and you know what, folks? We are all *SO THERE*. ^____^

It's Saruman, not Sauroman. sigh...trying to review a movie and can't even spell Saruman. What kind of LOTR geek are you anyway?
12:50 - press return.
In Korea, only old people have seen all three extended editions. Seriously, it takes that long.
In Soviet America the banks rob you!
Please, wake me up when a New Super Extended Platinum 24h long Edition will be available.
Did they tighten things up by just combining the baddies in Orthanc and Barad-dur?
Stop by my site where I write about ERP systems & more
You mean the king of rotk and roll ?
In Soviet America the banks rob you!
Yikes ... that's a lot of pizza.
For my 30th birthday, I am going to indulge myself in couch-potato madness and watch all 3 trilogies in sequence. 11hr and 20 min is a significant investment of time, but I think it can be done.
:)
7am: friends arrive, pancake breakfast.
8am: Fellowship of the Ring (~4+ hrs)
12:30pm: Lunch
2:00pm: The Two Towers (~3 1/2 hrs)
5:30pm: Dinner
7:00pm: Return of the King (~ 4 1/2 hrs)
11:30pm: Eyes ooze out of our sockets, bedsores open on our asses.
Our first baby is on the way, so I know I'll never get to do something this irresponsible and useless again.
John Maynard Keynes: "When the facts change, I change my mind. What do you do?"
...between Gandalf and Sauroman
:)
Dubya, is that you posting here on Slashdot?
In Korea, old people read faster than YOU!
Do I get to be the mayor or steward or what? Is a throne room included in the package or do I have to have that built?
What about the existing nobles and their families... are they put to the sword?
Nothing in the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity.
See them carry Frodo in ways you didn't see in the theater.
LOTR: ROTK Extended Edition: Now with even more endings!
a world in progress...
No, but as Return of the King: Enterprise Edition ;-)
I hope the extra 50 minutes comes BEFORE the part where Mr Jackson decided to have 3 false endings with lots of running water going on. Evil, Evil, Evil....
Our first baby is on the way,
:)
Are you sure it's yours ? I mean, look at what you do with your time
In Soviet America the banks rob you!
My ass gets numb just thinking about that. Might be good for a NYC to Tokyo flight, however.

Added scene showing Sauron (digitally placed in over an actor), talking to Denethor inside the olephant hanger.
Changed the title to "Revenge of the King"
Totally changes the concept of The Ring. In this changed version they explain that everyone has Rings inside of them, yet Frodo is a special case because he has extra Rings inside making him the most powerful Ring Bearer ever.
Now Sauroman shoots first!
"Leo Fender was in a 'state of grace' when he designed the Stratocaster." -- Paul Reed Smith
I was wondering about that. Now that all the EE are out, when is the Special Extended Trilogy DVD pack coming out, with MORE unseen footage.
Personally I want to see where Hugo Weaving says, "Mr Frodo, I see you've been living two lives..."
I am. A Digital Monk.
Hey, I blame Tolkien. Would it have killed him to think up better names for the two main bad guys in the books? I mean, really...
Sauronuman or Sarum....I can picture the Tolkien's book editor now saying "hey Tolk...you're killing us with the names here babe...change the Wizard guy in the tower's name to Zenon or something, ok my man?"
"Leo Fender was in a 'state of grace' when he designed the Stratocaster." -- Paul Reed Smith
Exactly! I went through an emotional roller coaster in the theater. "Ah! That was a great movie! ... No wait! There's more! Hey that was pretty good ... Huh!? There's more! Is this the end? Guess not... Hmmm... " And it went on like that for the last 7 hours of the movie. I was conflicted between wanting to learn more and wanting to relive myself at the restroom.
Check out this list of towers for a better understanding.
:-P
Rubbish list. Doesn't mention any Fawlty Towers whatsoever...
Tedious Bloggy Stuff - hooray?
I can hear a thousand wives screaming out in agony....
"Get to the mountain you little bastards! ARrrgh! You picked this? Alright, I get THREE picks for this one!"
The Fellowship of the Ring: Bombadil Style -- Tom wanders around the forest singing, and briefly visits with some hobbits carrying a trinket of little interest.
The Two Towers: Neither of Which Bombadil Lives In -- Goldberry makes tasty treats while Tom cleans his boots.
The Return of the King: Someone Bombadil Thinks he Knows -- Tom and Old Man Willow discuss philosophy and sing songs. Some strange doings down south make the sky turn dark, but then it's all light again, and that calls for some drink! The end.
I would blame it on the long wait between the theatrical release and the extended edition.
I believe in de-evolution. God made the world perfect, man fell, and its been going downhill ever since!
I just read that a Return of the King: Enterprise Edition. I've been doing this software thing for way too long.
I see a problem with your schedule.
7am: Friends arrive, pancake breakfast.
Yeah, how about
7:am Pankcake breakfast
I kid I kid, I'm sure I'll sit down and watch them all back to back too, when I get the RotK(EE)
500 dollar reward for tip(s) leading to the arrest of the person(s) who stole my sig.
That's not quite insightful, as much as it it "Your Mileage May Vary". For myself, taking long breaks would be necessary if I was to endure watching anything for > 3 hours. Plus, I'd suggest eating something a little more healthy than pizza, as if you'd be amongst a group of friends for 11 hours, the gas would potentially be horrible :)
You forgot:
The Return of the King: Someone Bombadil Thinks he Knows -- Tom and Old Man Willow discuss philosophy and sing songs. Some strange doings down south make the sky turn dark, but then it's all light again, and that calls for some drink! And then I had a long chat with that wizard guy who changed his color scheme from grey to white. He must have went to that Versace shop in Moria. The end.
Not very hobbit-ish of you. The proper sequence is:
First breakfast
FOTR disk 1
Second breakfast
FOTR disk 2
Elevenses
TT 1
Luncheon
TT 2
Afternoon tea
ROTK 1
Supper
ROTK 2
Stomach pumping.
Also, including the new comedy short LOTR:ROTF (LMAO)
Waltz, nymph, for quick jigs vex Bud.
More time spent frolicking in the forest of faggotry is not what the movies need. In fact I'm glad they cut out all the hobbit singing & mealtime poetry slams.
Let's do some math here. You met at the first EE party, which was November 12, 2002.
Rotk:EE is released mid-December. Your son will be 5 1/2 months old by that time. So, he's got a birthday near the beginning of July. Minus nine months means conception was at the end of September, 2003.
You mean we're supposed to be believe the following order of events, each more ludicrous than the previous...
1. You attended an event with a female
2.
3.
4.
5.
Turn in your geek badge, sir. Turn it in.
