EXTENDED CUT- A new addition to the opening sequence in which Bilbo provides background on Hobbits and their history in voice-over as he writes his memoirs.
- A new introduction to Samwise Gamgee, seen in his capacity as a gardener.
- A scene taking place at the Green Dragon Inn, which introduces us to the camaraderie of the Hobbits (we see them singing together) and sets up the geopolitics of the story.
- The Hobbits witnessing the departure of the Elves from Middle Earth on the way to Bree.
- Aragorn watching over the sleeping Hobbits, singing the ballad of Beren and Luthien to himself in the night.
- Aragorn at his mother's grave, in which we learn that he was raised by Elves and that Sauron has long hunted him.
- Two new moments during the departure from Rivendale, one in which we see Arwen's emotional reaction to Aragorn's leaving, and another in which Elrond sees the Fellowship off.
- A scene with the Fellowship in the mines of Moria, in which we learn how the Dwarves themselves unleashed the fire-demon that eventually destroyed them.
- A scene at Lothlorien, where Galadriel bestows upon each of the Fellowship a gift which will play an important role later in the Trilogy.
- And finally, more footage of the battle at Amon Hen. This is not particularly bloody footage, but its addition will likely result in this cut of the film receiving an R-rating.
Packaging for this set is still in the mock-up stage, but it looks like an ancient, leather-bound hardcover book. Film will be split over the first two discs of the set, with the second two containing more than SIX HOURS of in-depth behind-the-scenes material. Much of this content is still in production, so the final disc specs are still TBA. But you can look for feature-length director's audio commentary, art and photo galleries, documentaries and more
EXTENDED CUT/GIFT SET-On top of whatever it is that's in the Extended Cut Set is this: the National Geographic: Beyond the Movie - The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring DVD (containing 2 previously unreleased featurettes and a photo gallery), a set of exclusive Decipher game cards and a pair of bookends sculpted by WETA artists to look like the Argonath, all in packaging designed by production artist Alan Lee. Movie is the Extended cut with 30 minutes of scenes restored to the film (R-Rated)
Okay, are they toying with us or what?
