Gildor is going to be added! We'll hear Middle-Earth songs! Maybe we'll see the Gaffer! We'll learn more 'Of Hobbits' and of the situation at the end of the Third Age! Sensational news! The August release will be a 2-disc set including the theatrical version. The November release will be a 4-disc set including the 3h30 extended version + 8 hours of behind-the-scenes footage!!!
