Return of the King Extended Edition Support Group! (Why not?)

[HCIsland]

Hopefully this will quell those five hour long extended editions rumours, though likely not.<P><A HREF="http://www.dvdanswers.com/index.php?r=0&s=1&c=2999" TARGET=_blank>DVD Answers</A><P>Jackson was misquoted earlier and the actual runtime will be around 4 hours and 15 minutes, which still means close to an hour of extra material.<P>H.C.

[Liriodendron]

Well, I certainly want to see all, or ANY of the scenes you all have mentioned! But the main reason this wait is annoying, is because I want to OWN RoTK! Of course, I refuse to purchase the annoying theatrical version. I want my set complete! I want to watch it again..and again...and again.....

[Laitoste]

*still waiting patiently* I'm kind of glad that I have school & all of my other activities to keep me busy. I haven't been thinking about the EE recently, because of grades & prom & all kinds of other problems...

I can't wait for it to come out, but I probably won't get it 'til Christmas anyway, because I have no money, and I have to save for college. I really would like to see more of Eomer & Eowyn. But now that I think of it, I'm glad stuff like Tom Bombadil got left out. I can keep my own image of that without movie images getting in the way.

[Mad Baggins]

Arg! You people are making me so excited about the Extended Edition! I'm hoping for the HoH, the Scouring (yes, I know it won't happen, but hey! You never know), more Faramir and Eowyn...et cetera. Bloopers would be lovely.

[The Saucepan Man]

Knight, I would add to your list of possible EE material the confrontation with Saruman at Isengard (which we have been promised) and also the confrontation with the Corsairs at Pelargir (as I believe that more Corsair material was filmed). Any possibility of the Druadan making an appearance, I wonder. I know that Ghan-buri-Ghan appeared on some early cast lists, but I'm not sure that any material in this regard was actually filmed.

Oh and, of course, hand-in-hand with the Houses of Helaing scenes goes Eowyn and Faramir's romance.

In TTT extended edition, Galadriel makes a point to tell Frodo that the keeper of the third elf ring "is to be revealed". In ROTK that is never really revealed. The end scene shows Gandalf wearing the ring, but nothing is ever said about it. I saw ROTK the other day for the third time and noticed a strange camera shot of Galadriel in that same ending scene. She had a strange look on her face as if she had just said something that we, the audience, missed. I wonder if Gandalf as the third ring bearer gets mentioned here.

Now ya'll have me all wound up again! I am soooo looking foward to the EE! I've preordered the theatrical version so I will have something to watch until the EE comes out.
I like the list Knight of Gondor. You've listed alot of what I'm hoping to see in the EE.

If I'm not mistaken, Gandalf did possess a ring of power, though I don't know what it was. Perhaps he was given the last elven ring of power for safe keeping, because they show all three original elven ringbearers in the opening of FOTR.

[airetari]

things that I no will certainly be in the ROTK EE: merry pleding allegiance to rohan, and some thing to do w/ arwen and elrond ( ya i no didnt she get enough screen time already?) when the could be focusing on more important things like THE SCOURING OF THE SHIRE!!!!!!!!!!!! come on PJ wat was up w/ that? he better put that in the EE or im gonna spaz! houses of healing is a definite must and legolas singing his little To the sea! to the sea1 song ( you no that whole part) otherwise i shall be very put out1

[Knight of Gondor]

Do not set yourself up for the Scouring, because it won't be there. I doubt Legolas's song about the sea will be there either. Perhaps we can just work on expecting little more, and be surprised by what we get. Does anyone agree with me that it does not befit Legolas to drink??

[Oddwen]

Yeah, well I hope Gimli drinks him under the table! Someone needs to set that "elf" up for some humiliation.

Does anyone agree with me that it does not befit Legolas to drink??

Is it wrong for a stuntspiece to get drunk? That's all he ended up being. *sob*

Anyway, the Lack of the Scouring is one of the first facts I heard waaaaaay back in the beginning.

Although, I read that they filmed three deaths for Saruman, one on the RSWD, one other, and in the Shire. Dunno if that's wishful thinking or what.

[Liriodendron]

I thought it was odd that Legolas was the picture on the April 1 page on my "page a day" 2004 calendar. Last year, it was Saruman....an excellent choice for an "April Fool", but Legolas......? (He is on horseback, with his sword drawn, in a sea of uruks. )

[Sapphire_Flame]

Yeah, well I hope Gimli drinks him under the table! Someone needs to set that "elf" up for some humiliation.

Definitely. Those elves are too dang uppity; someone needs to keep them in their place! Although Sala (Sauron) did get in a good shot when he head-butted Orlando that time at a pub. V. v. funny.

What's with all the anti-Elf sentiments? Perhaps you should start a new thread!
