Apologies if this has been stated before....

When I purchased the ROTK DVD, it came with a special Entertainment Weekly "Ultimate Viewer's Guide" of Lord of the Rings. It has sections explaining each movie and what's in the EE for each. For ROTK, it states what's in the Extended Cut, as follows:

With a total of 300 new f/x shots and 49 minutes of added footage, the extended Return of the King should have enough to satisfy even the hungriest hobbitphile. The release date for the four-disk set is still up in the air, but New Line promises it will be before Christmas. What inquiring minds really want is the early scoop on the extra scenes. Some of the highlights:

1. Gandalf confronts Saruman at the ruins of Isengard
2. Aragorn treats Eowyn in the Houses of Healing after her fight with the Lord of the Nazgul.
3. Faramir's attraction to Eowyn begins when he sees her in the Houses of Healing.
4. Merry pledges fealty to King Theoden
5. The Lord of the Nazgul faces off against Gandalf during the siege of Minas Tirith and breaks his staff
6. Aragorn uses the palantir to reveal himself to Sauron as Isildur's heir before he goes to Mordor for the final battle
7. The Mouth of Sauron taunts Aragorn and his troops at Mordor's Black Gate, showing them Frodo's mithril shirt.
