Anyone going to check out the theater re-release of the LOTR films with the cut scenes replaced? Both film are pre sold out down here in SoCal.

Holy shit! When are they doing that? I thought they were just doing the extended DVD and that was it. I thought the extra stuff added to the Fellowship was great, so I'd love to see what they did w/ 2 Towers.

AFAIK the cut scenes replaced are the same as on the DVDs -- though the extended The Two Towers is meant to hit the streets here om my birthday (Nov 18).

Wonder if they'll do the same for The Return of the King -- it's rumoured to be
uncommercially long in even its "normal"cinematic version.

Can anyone confirm the rumor that some theaters will be showing all three back to back to back?

If you subscribed to the news, you'd have gotten it in yer mailbox!

I just found out if you live anywhere near NYC, in early January Peter Jackson and the cast are doing a Q&A at Lincoln Center after a back to back screening of all 3 films. The tickets for this are next to impossible to get, but I'm workin on it...

After doing much research, I found that most of the marathon tickets are sold out and some are selling on EBay for upwards of $400 each.

I'm not sure any three movies together are worth $400 ....

The Sip of Seduction box set.

Yea, sold out here too.

I'm going to wait for the director's cut ... maybe the extra footage will be worth the price.

Naah --

I'm getting the two extended DVDs, and thinking about organising a session at the office (on 4m screen) with those two back to back followed by a dash to the theatre.

The cut will be from your wallet.
