We've got some exclusive pictures and information on what will be included on the special extended 4-disc edition of Lord Of The Rings: The Fellowship Of The Ring DVD hitting store shelves November 12th!
Here's what we found out from our friends at Newline:
On November 12th, 2002 Lord Of The Rings: The Fellowship Of The Ring will be released as a 4-disc special extended edition DVD which will integrate approximately 30 minutes of extra footage never-before seen, into the original theatrical release. Check out some exclusive info we found about about what's being included:
What can viewers expect from the 3 and a half hour immersion into Middle Earth??? WE'VE GOT THE ANSWERS!!!
• Galadriel's Gif-Giving Scene. As the elves prepare to leave Rivendell, Elf Queen Galadriel bestows a special gift upon each of the nine members of the Fellowship. • Bilbo Baggins writing a journal entry entitled "Concerning Hobbits," which serves as a history of the Hobbits and their bucolic lifestyle.
• A new introduction of loyal Hobbit Sam Gamgee.
• More footage from the Green Dragon Inn, with Peregrin "Pippin" Took, and Meriadoc "Merry" Brandybuck happily singing Hobbit songs.
• Sam & Frodo witnessing the stately Exodus of the Elves on the road to Bree.
• Aragorn singing an Elvish ballad that adds back story to the implications of his love for Arwen • Aragorn beside his mother's grave in Rivendell.
• An extended sequence of the Fellowship's departure from Rivendell.
• Pre-battle scenes in the Mines Of Moria, explaining how the dwarves came to be in the mines.
• Character material delving into the complicated relationship between elves and dwarves.
• Additional footage from the Fellowship's climatic battle scene.
• Composer Howard Shore has returned with his Academy Award winning score and recorded 50 minutes of new music with the London Philharmonic for the special extended edition set!
• Weta Digital has returned and contributed all new effects shots for the deleted scenes.
• In addition to the 3 and a half hour feature, presented on 2 discs, the set will include 2 MORE discs packed with features not on the August release of the disc! This is includes production team commentaries, production documentaries, & interactive featurettes covering the film adaptation from "book to vision" and "from vision to reality"!
No more LOTR Threads!
Ahhhh!
Going to MiB2 today, hoping to see the Two Towers trailer...
Oh, yeah... we need the room for more Battle of the Sexes threads...
(rolling eyes)
(LOL!)
I am getting good at that.
I asked a lady the other night if I could borrow her chow's face to strip some paint and she reacted in a similar fashion.
(She was probably just a man hater though..)
Well, be gone! You are distracting me from serious man-appreciation! 
We'll buy the DVD when it comes out in August so we can watch it while on vacation, then get the extended version in Nov. Maybe an early Christmas present for the family? Or maybe St. Nick can bring it!
