It doesn't specifically say "definitely 49 minutes" but I would say that the Entertainment Weekly Special Lord of the Rings Issue is a pretty reliable source....though I wish those 49 minutes were longer...

We've been talking about what we think will be in the movie, but what about the behind the scenes stuff?

good point on the extras. I'm looking forward to more banter from dom and billy, and Sir Christopher Lee showing off again that he met JRR down the pub.

What would be great is if they could find the space to fit in the "Use well the days" song (or video if it exists). This is an even better tune than "Into the West"

A gaffs/blopers reel would be great, but I bet Jackson doesn't do this.

The main thing I'm looking forward to is the director and writers commentary on the film, especially on their decisions on 'tangents' from the book. I always find this interesting. (I still can't get over P Boyen's utterly sumg face when she explained the changes to Faramir in TT!)

Oh, and for me, they must include the Crossroads section in the EE film. One of the best pieces of writing in the book, and it would look stunning on film methinks. You know, Frodo looking back over the darkness envelloping Gondor, and he sees the shaft of light that lit the staute's face, showing that Darkness cannot prevail forever......

I noticed something last night when I watched RotK again. (I've noticed it before, but this is the first time I remembered it long enough to post.) When Aragorn, Legolas, and Gimli are all about to enter the Paths of the Dead, the horses run off. Later in the movie you see them riding the same horses. I wonder if they will show how they got the horses back?

I think this is one of the continuity errors in the films so we won't see them getting the horses back. are you sure they're the same ones? does aragorn call his 'new' horse brego again?

Change the 'plot' of the book and you'll have problems. in the book, aragorn forces (and legolas coerces) the horses into following them. In the film, to stop the guys riding on horse back so they could travel through the caverns on foot, Jackson changes part of the story, and Hey Presto! we have another 'error'.

I'm pretty sure that Legolas is riding the same horse near the end of the movie. Aragorn's horse on the other hand is somewhat harder to recognize beneath the armour, but I thought it was Brego. Neither of the horses name's were mentioned later in the movie. *sigh* I wish they would have something in there. Oh well. I guess we'll see.

So far the one thing I'm really looking forward to is the confrontation between Gandalf and saruman because in the book that was amazing. Just have to hope it's in there!
And as for continuity errors, there are hundreds. The most recent one that I noticed was if you watch RotK, the bit where aragorn has led his little army to the Black Gate and they ar about to fight. Look at Gimli when Aragorn is about to charge forwards and it is so obviuosly his scale double you wouldn't believe. It's fortunate I didn't notice it in the cinema or I'd have ruined the film with hysterica laughter.
