New Line Re-Releasing First Two Lord of the Rings Movies (W/X-tra footage)

[Khephra]

New Line Cinema will re-release The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring and The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers, with additional scenes and footage added, just two weeks before the worldwide December 17 release of The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King.

The plan calls for putting the films on 100-150 screens in the top 10 U.S. markets. Many other U.S. cities will have one cinema participating in the special extended edition screenings. Running times for the extended editions are 208 minutes for "Fellowship of the Ring" and 214 minutes for "The Two Towers."

Advanced ticket sales are scheduled to begin in late September or early October on exhibitor Web sites and movie ticketing sites like Fandango, MovieFone and Movietickets.com.

2. WOO WHOOOOO!

I know it's only greed on the part of the studio but I cannot wait. I love these movies and prefer to see them on the big screen.

3. I absolutely love LOTR....

I am counting the days until "Return of the King" comes out. And I intend to buy "The Two Towers" DVD as soon as it comes out in its extended version later this year.

Viggo Mortenson rocks!!
