25th Anniversary Edition DVD - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Rose Cotton · 01-16-2005, 08:28 PM

As if you havn't alreadly given Peter Jackson enough of your hard earned wages in the RotK:EE he hints releasing even more footage.

In this article PJ confirms the desire to create another DVD for fans.

So I thought we could use this topic to:

1. Talk about the probablility of a DVD

2. Talk about what we would like to see on the DVD

Sorry if this is already being discussed somewhere.

Wow! I hope this will be true, I'd love to see more! Darn I just can't wait! Good find!

Surely there will be some anniversary addition (isn't there always?), but I'm not sure that I would be in line to purchase it. What more could one hope to see? Unless completely new scenes were added (and some less 'well received' ones removed), I don't think that there is enough there for PJ to tempt me.

Hope that this isn't blasphemy, but one would hope that in 25 years someone else would produce LOTR using state of the art technology. Having been around awhile, I can only dream as to what that could be like, as I remember when Rankin-Bass was better than nothing.

And you know, there was a time that the internet did not exist...

Taking into account what has already been released and any clashes that may occur, I would like to see a little more of the journey towards Bree. There are many things in that section which were left out ie-

1. Farmer Maggot.

2. Tom Bombadil.

3. The Barrow Downs.

4. The possibility of seeing The Rangers guarding The Shire.

It would depend on whether Jackson thought any of this was interesting enough, or he may want to introduce us to some other characters and situations that leave us baffled. The other piece I would love to see, is The Druedain.

Mr. Jackson speaks many times about his 25th Edition DVD on the commentary of the EE Return of the King. Humorously he will add in here or there "Yes, we had a lot more stuff for this scene but it was cut. I guess it'll just end up in the 25th Aniversary Edition." or "I really liked that scene, but we cut it. Someone remind me to put that in the 25th."

So while the plan is a wonderful idea, it won't fill up the missing holes between the movie and the book.

His extra footage that he refers to would not be entire scenes like Tom Bombadil's but little added lines, or additions. Listen to the commentary for exactly what he said.

Exactly. There would be nothing really new. He may recut a scene so that it appears different (using different takes of the same scene), but one would/hope think that he put his best stuff out already.

My experience has been that 'never before seen footage' means that it wasn't really good enough to include before, but now that we're scraping the bottom of the barrel...
