Official release date for RotK EE!

[Arod]

It seems like I've been waiting forever for this news. My best friend has yet to see even the first one and wants to watch all in one day with me but wants to wait for this one to come out first. I don't think she realizes how long they all are... LOL... Still, I don't have a problem with it.

Darn it! That's a week after my brother's birthday, which means I have to wait until Christmas! (Pathetic, huh? I still get stuff for his birthday...) *Sigh* I need a job...

Any information about Easter Eggs? The ones on FOTR and TTT were hilarious.

Already two different (Finnish) web shops have been promising EE release on 10th December. Since the official release is on 14th, I find it very interesting that according to SF film (the distributor in Scandinavia), Finlad would be getting a special treatment on this matter. Or perhaps they're trying to smooth us down since TTT's release here was delayed (two weeks..).

*pouts* I thought it was coming out on the seventh of December

Well, that's better than me. I just checked this thread to make sure on the release date (I don't want to know anything about the movie itself, which is why it took me so long to find this out) & found out that it was not going to be released in November like I thought it was . Now I'll be posting grumpy posts for about a week & a half .

Actually, yes.

The article says:

From Henneth-Annun, the Russian LotR resource, comes this article:

The EE of the "Return of the King" is not out yet - however, theeaster egg for this upcoming DVD release has already been revealed.

It has been made possible by British laws, which force all video andaudio materials to be submitted for rating by the British Board ofFilm Classification (BBFC).

Here be spoilers!

The Easter Egg this time is a remote interview with Elijah Wood, whichhas been conducted from the world premiere of RotK in Berlin. Elijahwas absent, but reporters had a possibility to ask him questions overa phone line. He would then answer them into a video camera installedin his New York hotel.

As Wood could not see the interviewer, Dominic Monaghan pulled a prankon hin. He assumed a strong German accent and started impersonating aGerman reporter, asking most outrageous questions. The whole piece ofinterview is 8 minutes 34 seconds long.

Peter Jackson often announced this piece of interview to appear on theRotK SEE DVD. Now we know, in what context it will happen. Also, thistime the easter egg has passed British censorship (both MTV MovieAward's easter eggs of previous LotR releases have been dropped in theUK release, because of "adult" dialogues). However, there still mightbe some adult language, as the new Easter Egg has been rated 12 by BBFC.

Yay! Sounds like fun!

This is a good thing. I thought the easter eggs on the other 2 were hilarious, but the "adult" dialogues did mess it up.
