25th Anniversary Edition DVD - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

This is about TROTK but there are some pics of Goblins of the first film. But the pics you see of the Goblins wern't in the first film nor in the EE, so, maybe there will be one of the first film as well?

Here's a link to a pic:

Yeah, those goblins were from an alternate version of the Fellowship entering Lorien. Originally, PJ had the fellowship being chased by the Moria orcs into Lothlorien, where they were rescued by Haldir & co. This was replaced because they felt it would be good to show Gimli's mistrust of Galadriel at first.

Don't slaughter me, but I'm hoping they'll put Aragorn's fight with Sauron in that edition...Why? Because I liked what I saw of the concept on the ROTK EE. When I first heard about it being filmed, I thought: 'Oh NO!' but then when PJ explained the concept and how they wanted to go about it, I saw that somehow it could work. I mean, sure it's not in the book, it's out of character but then again how many things in the movie are? Better for Aragorn to defeat Sauron in a 'fair' fight, however unlikely that may seem to us, then chop MoS' head off unawares...But I stray off topic , sorry.

I also look forwars to more bloopers/ behind the scenes stuff, interviews with cast and crew because I enjoyed these a lot so far!

If I may put in my opinion, I think they'll sell more of the extra cuts and bloopers/bleepers if it is NOT packaged as part of a very expensive set, but as a stand alone item. At least, I see myself as more likely to buy it then!

Or will it be a gold embossed, leather bound, genuine parchment, complete book/script & movie collection?

In any event, it seems that the extras mentioned in the article would be released sometime in the relatively near future (in conjuntion with THE HOBBIT?) rather than some 21 years from now.

yeah, I'm not sure what this 25th Anniversarry is all about. 25 years from now? I'd go so far in saying that dvds won't be selling in 25 years time. I agree with Matt Groening who said by the time he's released all the Simpsons on DVD he'll be able to start releasing them again on the next version of technology!!!!!

I'd really like to see some of the things that were in the RotK trailer, but didn't make it into the EE. I really want to see the part where Merry says to Pippin "We shall see The Shire again." Also, I'm a bit curious about the scene with Arwen and Elrond on that bridge...

Finwe-89 · 01-19-2005, 06:57 AM

But what will you see more? Bigger wars on the fields of Pellenor? More of Faramir and Eowyn? And if it's a 25th Anniversary DVD, it's means that it will come in 25 years?
