RotK EE Previews - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

AbercrombieOfRohan · 11-29-2004, 06:07 PM

I just started a new thread with this title but I'm having a major spaz attack and am feeling the need to post it all over the internet.

NEW 6 minute trailer at www.lordoftherings.net
WICKED COOL! (allow me to let my bostonian accent creep in)

go see it now!

Thanks for posting that link AbercrombieOfRohan. The EE is just looking better and better ...

Faramir gets to say his line about rejecting the Ring (in slightly modified form), and is that Boromir that I caught sight of behind him ...

And I suspect that there are those among us who will be (rather uncharitably) cheering when Jackson gets Legolas' arrow in his chest ...

Edit: To avoid unnecessary duplication, I have merged the two RotK Extended threads. Please post links to any further previews here.

Looking very good....roll on December.

Just two quibbles. I'm not sure about the handling of the houses of healing sequence, what's all that with Aragorn walking away and Eowyn grabbing his arm?
And I can't help it, I just get annoyed when I see interviews with Elijah. READ THE BOOK, you airhead.....

Rimbaud · 11-30-2004, 04:30 AM

Good preview, that. For some reason, I don't consider the theatrical releases to be the proper movie any more, and I imagine that's as PJ intended it. However, there was still so much more he could have included (esp. SotS), if he had had a more judicious editor elsewhere.

How long is the EE anyway? And therefore, if one had, let's just say hypothetically

, all the four disc sets, how long would the entire set be?

Wonders if anyone's going to be daft enough to work it out for me, so I don't have to look it up

I haven't looked (yet) and I'm not too sure if I will, but Eliana has stated that it includes the jouney to the croosroads. (one of my favourite bits from the entire LOTR) If PJ gets this bit right, it will be worth the £30 alone.........

AbercrombieOfRohan · 11-30-2004, 08:44 AM

Ka you'll need quicktime to see it. Also thw ebsite changes so sometimes the trailer is on the main page and sometimes it's on the pop-up that shows up when you first enter the site. I don't know if it's been like this for anyone else but just a little note.

First quibble: That isn't in the Houses of Healing; it's in Eowyn's room in Edoras. If you look behind them, the architecture is definitely Rohirric, not Gondorean.

Second quibble: I completely agree. Not only that, he's a very verbose airhead.

Length of Movie: 250 minutes; or 4 hours and 10 minutes. That means the new scenes amount to approximately 50 minutes total. *green* And, as AbercrombieOfRohan said, the appendices are about 20 hours. w00t.

Essex, I agree with you on that. That was one of my favourite little scenes in the books. I'm glad PJ&Co. put it back in. ^_^

Rimbaud, I would think that you would need to set aside something like 12 hours to watch all the Extended Editions in one sitting.

I agree that the Extended Editions have replaced the theatrical releases as "the real films". Despite knowing that they would be superseded pretty quickly, I still couldn't help buying each of the theatrical releases on DVD when they came out.

Still, at least these Extended Editions do offer a lot more in return for the additional expense.

I still think the mouth of sauron looks silly. He seems to be too small and according to me he doesn't look frightening at all
