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"!
Can we see the pics any bigger? Link me link me!
How the heck did they get it?
Ok, cool, thanks!
Both TTT pics were out of place here on this FoTR thread weren't they?
Oh, I don't think so... if you feel you need justification though, isn't the extended trailer included with the DVD set? :)
Just saw trailer, but it was way too short! Say the radiant new Gandalf on Shadowfax, charging into the fray.
I cannot WAIT.
Once Jackson sees how he can double-dip with the videos, I hope he'll expand further. How about the Hobbit movie, before Ian Holm gets much older?
Hmmm, I think its just a small scene that gives the viewer the feeling that the age of the elves is coming to an end.
As for the Hobbit movie, well New Line Cinema bought the movie rights for LOTR and The Hobbit at the same time so there's no problem there and Pete is expressing interest in doing it at some point.
Dunno about Ian Holm though, I heard a few months back that he was receiving cancer treatment in the US, so let's hope everything goes well for him.
