I was lloking around at DVDsoon.com and I found this:

They have the LOTR:ROTK on pre-sale. They also say the release date is for the 16th of december. They also say the running time for the extended version is 246 min, that means a total of 66 more minutes added to the movie. Not bad!

Can't wait in till Christmas mornig ,

December 16th is a Thursday...

Rob

a new line rep said they had planned to have it out first tuesday in december.

The only logical possible release dates for LOTR:ROTK:EE are November 2, November 9, November 16, or November 23. They will want this title in stores for Black Friday and the holiday shopping season.

I agree.

Also remember that there are about 20 mins of credits for the fan club members, and I bet that extra 66 minutes includes the 20 new minutes of credits. I believe one of the execs recently said there was 46 new minutes of footage, so 66 total would make sense..

looking foward to this release.

How would this be 66 mins of extra footage? The movie itself had a running time of 200 minutes or so.

Unless, of course, the process of assembling the content for the set is taking longer this time, in which case a later release date would unfortunately be necessary.

They already annouced that it was delayed until December.

i agree with Gyno.. i looked on the back of the ROTK and it says 200 mins.. 246 would mean 46 extra.. minus 20 mins of (EXTRA from the first?) fan credits? so wouldnt that amount to only 26 min. of extra footage.. im sure thats not correct, but MAYBE the 246 on the website doesnt include the end credits, and it should read 266.. I remeber seeing a couple of different online retailers advertising the other Theatrical cuts (FORT, TTT) at plus or minus about 10 mins.. i guess that was the credits..

BTW.. 46 minutes of extra footage (credits not included) would be ABSOLUTELY worth the extra wait IMO

I guess it's going to take them a really long time to make all of those Witch King/Fell Beast statues.

woops

Why the interjection? The press release was sent out last week.

Release date is 7 December 2004.

They could do a Pearl Harbor tie-in.

According to theonering.net, there will be 49 minutes of new footage, sans credits.

They also report the December release date.
