Let's make sure that the Director's Cut DVD does become a reality! Voice your feelings in a petition that asks for a full uncut version of The Fellowship of the Ring, including all the Deleted Scenes reincorporated back into the film proper, not as separate outtakes on a second disc. Just so New Line knows there's a market out there...

I have fond memories of the Tolkien animated movies. Of course they can't compare to the Peter jackson live action, but the Bakshi movie did introduce me to the trilogy and managed, for all its awkward artwork and stumbling narrative, to keep the wonder in for me.

Lord of the Rings, DVD for P300 lang sa greenhills. How i wish this wasnt a pirated copy. grabe ang piracy sa greenhills, pati yung oceans 11 meron na sa DVD  :P
Title: Re: The Lord Of The Rings DVDs
Post by: Battousai on Feb 03, 2002 at 10:14 AM
He he he.
Taga masyado pirated DVDs sa greenhills. Sa Quiapo, PhP170 lang yung mga yun.
Bought a copy there of the LOTR DVD for that amount.
Hanep! Moving menu sa umpisa with Frodo's face an hand moving, with the ring.
Yung special features, almost DVD quality na yung video. As in crisp yung video nya.
Yun movie mismo, well, super linaw sya, and not kopya sa sinehan. However, magandang VCD copy lang sya. Pixels abound in "fire" scenes, and action scenes, lalo na yung takbuhan nila sa cornfields(?)
Yung english subs were pretty awful. "Hoppitts?" at madami pang bloopers sa subs that need note mentioned. Pero kung gusto mong tumawa while watching LOTR, keep the subs on. Ha ha ha!
At syempre, bakit sya malinaw( think, orig na VCD quality)
Reason being its a demo copy, complete with the WARNING! Demo copy only! If youve rented, or bought this tape, kindly cal 1-800 etc.
Isang plus factor is that its widescreen.
So, its a good buy, if you have a DVD player, and would rather have it on 1 disc, rather than waste PhP450( im assuming an orig VCD release in the future) and contained in 3 VCD discs.

I guess we have to wait for the official announcement from New Line on Mar 26. From dvdfile this tidbit:

"... if you just can't wait to find out what New Line's plans are for the Lord of the Rings DVD release(s), well, you don't have much longer to wait. As is the case these days with big releases, we just received an announcement of... the announcement. On Tuesday, March 26, New Line will be prepping the world for the new Lord of the Rings DVD and VHS releases, and needless to say, it's gonna be huge! So check back on March 26 for the big news... "

Got this from DVDfile

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring will be released in no less than four versions this year. On 8/6, separate widescreen and pan & scan versions will be release, each a two-disc set with identical extras features. Disc one includes the film presented in English Dolby Digital Surround EX and Dolby 2.0 surround (sorry, no DTS). Disc two is where all the goodies are at, and retail will be $29.95 for either the pan & scan or widescreen editions. The extras to be found on disc 2 include:

3 in-depth documentaries that reveal the secrets behind the production of this epic adventure, including "Welcome to Middle-earth" in-store special as shown by Houghton Mifflin, "The Quest for the Ring" as debuted on the FBC Network, and "A Passage to Middle-earth" as premiered on the Sci-Fi Channel

15 featurettes originally created for lordoftherings.net, which explore the locales and cultures of Middle-earth and include interviews with cast members Elijah Wood, Ian McKellen, Viggo Mortensen, Liv Tyler and others.
Exclusive 10-minute behind-the-scenes preview of the next The Lord of the Rings theatrical release, "The Two Towers"

Enya "May It Be" music video

An inside look at the special extended DVD edition of The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring

Preview of Electronic Arts' video game "The Two Towers"

Original theatrical trailers and TV spots

Exclusive online content only available to DVD-ROM users via a special website set to go live on street date
Then, on 11/12, New Line will release a mega four-disc set, with a new extended cut of the film created by Peter Jackson himself, and featuring over 30 minutes of additional footage. This cut of the film will be Rated R due to some extended violence, and no retail price has yet been set for this release. The now nearly four-hour film will be spread over the first two discs and presented in 2.35:1 anamorphic widescreen (alas, no sound format information is yet available.) Unfortunately, all the supplements for the 4-disc set are still in production, so final details were not revealed. However, the disc is planned to include 3 audio commentaries and another four hours of bonus material. It is also not yet known if all the features on the "standard" two-disc set edition will also be included here.

Last but not least, New Line is also planning on release a special limited edition gift set of the 4-disc set, with two bookend statuettes by sculptor Sideshow Weta, the National Geographic "Beyond The Movie" DVD, and several collectible Decipher game cards. There were also rumors floating around that after all three films are done and released, a fifth mega-box set of all three with possible additional material may be released, which would be sometime in 2004.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

I don't know about the rest of you but I'm waiting for the 4-disc director's cut dvd ;D Unfortunately, the movie is spread out over 2 discs.

SciFi.Com reports that it will be simultaneous DVD/VHS release dates for both versions in the States. The August 6 DVD release has two hours of supplemental material and the 10 minute Two Towers preview, while the VHS will only have the preview. They also report that the November 12 4 disc set now looks like it will have 6 hours of supplements.

I'm not sure who handles New Line video releases locally... but weren't the Austin Powers VHS/VCD releases done by... VIVA?  ???

Either way, Astro Virra Mall already has the LOTR poster in their main display window... so maybe we're getting it a lot SOONER on VHS than in the States?
Title: Re:The Lord Of The Rings DVDs
Post by: Titus on Apr 01, 2002 at 06:24 PM
From The Digital Bits:

We're getting a lot of e-mails from readers asking if the special features set to be included on the theatrical edition of The Fellowship of the Ring (due on 8/6) will be repeated on the special extended version (following on 11/12). The answer is no. The documentaries and web featurettes are being included on the theatrical edition because a lot of fans have requested them. But since the special extended version includes an entirely new cut of the film, everything that will be included on that later edition is being custom created specifically for that release, for a more adult audience and to go MUCH deeper into the making of the film trilogy than what was seen in any of the TV specials. The idea is that most DVD consumers will be satisfied with the theatrical edition, while more sophisticated fans will wait for the extended edition. The most diehard fans will probably want both, as they perfectly complement each other but do not overlap.

Also, just to clarify, each DVD version includes a SEPARATE edit of the film. The 4-disc special extended set DOES NOT include the theatrical cut of the film on a separate disc or via seamless branching. If you want the theatrical cut, you have to buy the August 2-disc set. If you want the longer cut, you buy the November 4-disc edition. If you want both, save your money accordingly and buy both. Some people may feel that this is an effort to milk consumers, but I don't think so at all. In order to include everything you'll be getting on both editions, New Line would have to create a single 6-disc release, which would be WAY too expensive for most consumers to even consider. This way, they can have DVD purchase options for everyone. And by not having any overlap between the two editions, fans who buy both are absolutely getting the most for their money. Just think... over eight hours of unique special edition material alone on these two releases, not including the films themselves! If you're a fan, I say don't look a gift horse in the mouth!

This means I might end up getting the theatrical edition AND the collector's gift set. I wants it, my precioussss!  :-\ :)

Got this from www.lightsoutentertainment.com:

"Yesterday, the most amazing thing happened. My wife picked up the mail and walked over to me, a package in her hands. "There's something here for you," she said. I really wasn't expecting anything, but when I looked at the package, my heart started racing. I didn't know why, but I knew it was something special. Like a child who's overanxious on Christmas morning, I snatched it from her hands. My heart was pounding faster and faster as I tore through the packaging. When I opened it, my breath caught in my throat and my eyes bulged. "What is it?" she asked. I tried to speak, but no words would come out. Dumbly, I extended a trembling hand, showing her what it was. "Cool," she said, then turned and went about her business. Cool? This wasn't cool&#8230; this was the DVD of Lord of the Rings - The Fellowship of the Ring. This was freakin' amazing! This disc isn't released until August, yet I was holding it in my hand. I couldn't believe it. I still can't believe it."

I'll try Dante,

Theatrical 2-disc set: Obvious

Director's Cut 4-disc set: The director included several scenes not shown in the theatrical release. Movie is spread out into 2 discs, the rest are extras.

Limited Edition Director's Cut 4-disc set: Same as above except the packaging looks like old parchment or leather (I think!)

Box Set: A box set consisting of either the Dir.Cut or the Limited ed. plus a dvd of "National Geographics; Behind the Lord of the Rings", and 2 LOTR themed bookends.

There you go Dante. Popular rumor states that the extras in the 2-disc and the 4-disc sets are different. If it's true, good luck in deciding which to get, or good luck in saving up for this ;)

Note: I forgot if the 4-disc sets are actually 3-discs. One or the other. ???

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? ::)

Talagang gagatasan nila mga fans. Tsk tsk tsk.

CruzSack, yes they are expensive. The Extended Edition will sell for $40 and the Gift Set will sell for $80.

halo, I know how you feel. At first, I wanted to wait for the Extended Edition only. But when I found out that the extras for the theatrical edition were going to be completely different (added to the fact that I'd have to wait 3 more months for the Extended Edition), now I want both.

I'm also tempted to get the Gift Set, but I'm still not sure if the National Geographic documentary and the (admittedly cool-looking) bookends are worth the additional $40.

Battousai, I'm not as angry about the multiple editions as you are. I loved the movie enough that I'd like to have both the theatrical release and the extended version. And since there won't be any overlap in the extras, the cash seems better spent. But what I'm afraid of is the inevitable complete trilogy set that they'll come up with after the third movie.
Title: Re:The Lord Of The Rings DVDs
Post by: halo on Jun 13, 2002 at 06:50 PM
I agree with you wholeheartedly Titus.

The 2 disc set was conceived mainly for ordinary, everyday fans of the movie/book while the 4 disc sets are for the hardcore fans of LOTR.

This will be expensive, I agree, but it will be worth the money and that's something at least.

As for the inevitable box-set, I'll cross that bridge when I get there. ;D

Hi guys!!

I just checked the prices of the extended and the gift set in Amazon and they have brought down the price to just $30 and $50 respectively. Well that is if you pre-order the copy. So I guess it would be better to buy the gift set at that price, right?
Title: Re:The Lord Of The Rings DVDs

Great deal on the LOTR gift set at Amazon. It's priced at $49.94 (at 38% off MSRP $79.98). Use Share the Love for additional 10% off, and a $5 coupon, and free shipping (to a friend or relative in the US heh). Total price is $39.95. Not bad! ;)

I don't think they will reject shipping it anywhere.  The problem is the packaging and what the condition of the gift set would be when it arrives sa shipping address.  Plus baka lalong matahin ng Customs ang gift set thus charging a bigger amount.

I would even hesitate asking someone to bring this thing home from the US unless I can trust that person to pack the gift set very well to protect it like my brother who is quite familiar with fragile objects.  

Pero kung tipong hindi ko man lang kilala like the father of a friend eh huwag na lang.  Wala ka kasing magagawa kung na-damage ang box - nakiusap ka lang.

This is actually one of those DVD na highly recommended na bilhin mo na lang from a local "non-bogus" seller/source so you can inspect the item before you buy it.  Better kung one of those na may guarantee who will replace your purchased item if found to be defective.

Kung may delivery system/service siya, make sure lang na the seller knows how to package the item para fully protected or may very dependable delivery service siya na sanay mag-handle ng mga DVDs.

Well, there are no easter eggs. The  casing plastic is conventional although they used a Golden Black resin for this one. Booklet is three fold. Special features include FOX TV Special, The Making, Preview of Two Towers, Featurettes on the several actors in the movie! And much more! For the price of around $19.99 on Amazon, it's a must buy! Date of Release August 6, 2002. US Release and Asia Release. I have no details on the R3 release and although it has been announced that it would be P1200 in Astrovision for two discs.

Yup Region 1! Direct from Taiwan for the US Market! I guess that's where NewLine Cinema decided to have it produced this time! A pirated copy is even available now of the original in Greenhills. Sad. But I got the real stuff! About VHS and VCD versions? if they've got the pirated DVDs already, then they would surely have them in VCD and VHS as well...but who buys VHS nowadays...VCDs or DVDs have been swamping the market.

For DTS fanatics, you won't be disappointed with the Dolby Digital EX.  I would say the audio quality is comparable to Star Wars Episode 1.

You can expect a lot of surround audio.  Yuong mga scenes na may mga arrows flying eh feel na feel mo ang direction ng sound from one channel to another.  The scene with the fireworks also sounded great.  Well actually lahat ng mga action scenes eh maaaliw ka sa audio.

The record level of the audio is a bit loud so medyo alalay lang kayo sa volume controls niyo.

The subtitles are also excellent.  You can now read those very whisper-like talk from the movie.

If you happen to watch those bootleg copies na clear na may Property of New Line Cinema, the original is indeed a very big improvement (as expected).


The only sort of Easter Egg I saw was just the DVD credits which you can access if you select the New Line Cinema logo on the Main Menu.

Though the 10-minute behind the scene Two Towers preview is very interesting, I found the preview of the 4-disc Director's Cut more appealing as you can see patches of the scenes they added.  Mapapabili ka talaga ng Director's Cut.  

Plus you'll appreciate buying the Director's Cut more when you learn that a lot of things were done for the DVD like additional musical scoring, etc.

I especially liked the previews of The Two Towers and the Special Extended Edition. The Sci-Fi Channel documentary was good too. Since I'm such a fan, I was already planning to buy either the Extended Edition or the Gift Set, but this DVD just added to my excitement. Can't wait for November! And December! :)

True, true, VCDs can be pretty sucky when it comes to mpeg-1 compression. it's like comparing a low quality 8 bit JPEG image (VCD) to a 24-bit BMP image for mpeg-2 compression (DVD). VHS is analog. Pixelation is just unbearable even for original copies. (i'm just making an analogy, I'm not saying that mpeg-1 is jpeg format or mpeg-2 is bmp format.) well, why wait until the second week of august? have you paid for it already?

As you wish. :)

There are three documentaries, one by Houghton Mifflin, one for Fox TV, and one for Sci-Fi Channel. The third one is the longest, clocking in at around 38 mins, and it's also the most in-depth. There are a lot of clips and interviews used in mutliple documentaries and featurettes however, so you'll hear a lot of the same quotes over and over.

The Fox TV docu is nice too, mainly because of the behind-the-scenes clips, like:

LOTS OF SPOILERS AHEAD!

- Viggo cutting and eating a birthday cake and going fishing while still in costume.
- Orlando Bloom skydiving, snowboarding and bungie jumping.

The preview of the Special Extended Edition showed some interesting scenes that were cut like:

- Frodo and Sam seeing a group of Elves walking through the trees in the Shire.
- The cave troll in Moria hitting Boromir across the room.
- Galadriel giving Sam a rope and asking Gimli what he would ask of her.
- Bilbo writing his book.
- More scenes with Aragorn and Arwen in Rivendell.

And then there's the Two Towers preview, which is 10 mins. long. Here you see:

- Andy Serkis in motion capture sessions for Gollum.
- Peter Jackson introducing the new characters, like Theoden, Eowyn, Eomer, Faramir, and Wormtongue.
- An army of Uruk-hai attacking Helm's Deep.
- PJ talking about them finding the perfect location for Edoras, capital of Rohan.
- PJ talking about the huge miniature they built of the fortress of Helm's Deep.

There's lots more to see of course, but this is all I could remember off the top of my head.

Here's some interesting LotR movie news from TolkienOnline.com:


Extended Version of FotR to Hit Theaters?

In the latest issue of the LOTR Official Fan Club magazine, Peter Jackson has a very interesting quote when asked, "Is there any chance that the expanded version of The Fellowship of the Ring will ever be shown in theaters someday?" PJ's tantalizing response? "That's definitely not been decided in any way. What we are doing, which is significant, is finishing the movie on 35 millimeter (film)....we are delivering the extended cut as a complete 35 millimeter film. So it would be perfectly possible to have a print that can be screened in theaters...I know that there has been talk at New Line about whether or not there should be a limited release of The Fellowship in November or December, just prior to The Two Towers....I don't think that anyone has made that final decision, but I would certainly push that."

The Fox TV docu is nice too, mainly because of the behind-the-scenes clips, like:

LOTS OF SPOILERS AHEAD!


Appreciated. :)

We really have to wait for the 4-disc set to come out this November.  They are reserving the 30 minutes worth of new scenes for the special edition para may rason tayo na bumili uli!  What is included in the 2-disc set is just a preview of the one coming out this November.  According to the preview, they even had new composed, arranged and recorded for the additional scenes!

Too bad for those waiting for the R3, release has been postponed indefinitely.  Only the VCD and the VHS will be released on August 6, 2002.

So kung super inggit na kayo sa mga may R1 copies at pwede naman sa player mo ang R1 eh bili na kayo sa mga ka-tsokaran nating mga taga PinoyDVD na may mga advance copies nang binebenta.

Post by: Little David on Aug 02, 2002 at 08:28 PM
Passed by Astro last Wednesday and they told me that LOTR was to be released in a week, and not a word about a DVD delay. Hmm.

If the R3 DVD is to be delayed, then for once my impulsiveness would have done me some good. That same day I passed by another outlet where I sometimes get R1s, and they had a couple of the two-disc widescreen R1s left. I succumbed and bought one, despite my determination not to get it until the extended version comes out at the end of the year. Couldn't resist the additional features and the ten-minute Two Towers preview. Besides, when you are holding the actual thing in your hand, its hard to prevent the other hand from reaching for your wallet.

Well worth it, I think. Ashamedly, I have a clear bootleg copy of LOTR (the one with the unintentionally hilarious subtitles), a gift from a well-meaning friend, and I've watched it countless times. But on seeing the legal copy, God, the clarity is breathtaking. It's like watching a whole new film.

I figure I can gift a good friend a well-watched R1 LOTR DVD in November (and another a well-watched bootleg), or maybe sell it cheap and spread the joy a little, before I buy the extended version.  :D

I'm not sure if it's the start or it's just an exception since New Line Cinema is not known for distributing R3 DVDs or at least they rarely do. And since they have a wide market base here of fans and collectors who would not just settle for the pirated copies, I guess they realized, what the heck....let's sell some of our copies to them. It's still money. And at least we don't have to spend extra on sorting and distributing discs of a different encoding. (from the point of view of the manufacturer)
Because of this, this is good news for us!!!!!!!!!!! As most of us know....R3 counterparts usually suck.

Most of the titles now available are comparable and in fact at least 2 are better( Eyes Wide Open and Crouching Tiger...) than the R1 counterpart. ;)

I have a question. Are the R1 LOTR sold in Astrovision sealed with the white seal of guarantee on the top, right and lower sides of the case and does it come with a booklet of coupons valid only in the US or Canada? As we know....DVDs, Playstation 1 & 2 games, XBOX DVDs, DVD Audio and Audio CDs for the US market always have this special seal. I even bought a CD opener once in HMV. This allows you to cut through the seal without having to try to peel it off.  ::)

Mamamatay ka na nga the following day, mapapanood mo pa ay mga ewan na DVD.

So balik LOTR tayo...

I guess the reason why may stocks na may New Zealand trip promo at mayroon na wala was may more than 1 source ang C Interactive.  Baka iba galing sa US, iba galing sa Canada.  Naniguro lang siguro din siya na may darating siyang stocks.

Enjoy the R1 while you can kasi next batch daw ay R3 na talaga at hindi pa alam kung ano ang looks ng R3.

I think the reason behind this supply of R1 is that C Interactive may have realized that their R3 stocks will not meet their announced release date of August 6 (which hindi rin inabot ng R1 supply nila) so gumawa na sila ng paraan muna ang got stocks of R1 para hindi magalit ang mga tao (madami na nga daw naiinis last August 6 kasi di dumating ang DVD eh panay daw ang annoncement ng C Interactive).

I would think they either had very minimal or losses pa with the sale of the R1 instead of the R3.

Well, that was a nice way of putting it. If that were the case, then we should all just get pirated copies. I believe the point of advancing technology is to get the best out of a product. The LOTR movie is probably the pinnacle of the Fantasy genre, and an extraordinary achievement to the art of special effects. We would be doing the director, its actors, its production people a gross disrespect if we were able to only appreciate a movie DVD that was not up to par with their vision of a tecnical masterpiece.
I am not a collector, but it matters that a DVD comes from a quality reliable source (these are usually, but not always, R1's), sealed, containing sound quality that the director wants us to hear and feel, visuals that match the productions' vision and an assurance that what you get is the best that storytelling has to offer. I'd spend my last waking second just to touch that.
Peace out, dudes. You have your own opinions and I respect that too, as much as I hope you'd respect mine.  ;D

Wala naman silang nasasabi but I doubt kung maglalabas ng R3 sa Pinas kasi medyo mahal na ang DVD eh so baka limited lang ang maibenta nila.

Obssesive-Compulsive  It's a trait among people who are usually successful....in fact ...most of the personalities(Einstein,Bell,Gates...yes...even Rizal) that  have contributed a lot to make this world a better place to be in are known to be  OC. ;) ;D ;

On the other hand at the far extreme part of the pole...those who despise people who have OC trait are best exemplified by ERAP. :o ;) ;D ;D

In Psychiatry of course....anything in excess is considered pathologic...hence...once control has been relinquished and the personality becomes affected and productivity impaired.......it's now called an Obssesive-Compulsive Personality Disorder...this is now totally different from the trait which is in a strict sense moderately needed in this life in order fro one  to become an achiever. ;

Good news! I received word from the owner of Astrovision that yesterday's LOTR "raid" was due to a filing error and a timing issue. The confiscated copies will be returned to the stores as early as this weekend. He emphasized that the R3 release will not be distributed here in the near future since all stocks in the warehouse are R1.

Apparently, C-Interactive was able to get approval for the R1 version from the VRB, presumably with the blessings of New Line Cinema whom they represent exclusively in the Philippines.

More news peeps!!

I just passed by Astro in Megamall at around 12:30+ and inquired whether they have the LOTR DVD in stock.


Guess what?!!


The lady behind the counter said yes, it costs 1200 and it's R1!!!

So, is C-Interactive the official distributor of New Line titles or is it just for LOTR? Can we expect more R1s to be locally available or is this just a one time deal or is this a rare event?

There's no question that C-Interactive's gonna make a lot of money from their release of LOTR. Maybe this will inspire them (and others) to do the same.

my dad bought a copy at Astro, sm fairview today bago sya umuwi...  ;D tumawag muna ako sa Astro nung umaga pero sabi nila wala na raw silang stock... nagulat nga ako nung nakabili ang dad ko sa kanila... siguro naninigurado lang sila na hindi official ng vrb yung tumatawag...  ??? sabi ng dad ko, tinatago raw nila yung mga DVD... you have to ask pa for you to be able to buy one... mga 2 copy pa yata yung natitira as of now... sana tuluy-tuloy na ito sa mga future releases ng new line...  :)

in short, binili ko na agad, P1,200.  i'll be watching it tonight para ma-check ang quality.

I went to Astrovision Megamall this morning. Akala ko wala nang LOTR DVDs, pero sabi ng nasa counter tinatago lang daw nila. Nung pinakita nila binayaran ko na kaagad, baka kasi pagsisihan ko pa kung hindi ako bibili ngayon.
Tinanong ko kung maraming DVD ang na-confiscate kahapon. 10 DVDs lang daw, kaya business as usual sila uli.
Bukas ko pa mapapanood yung DVD ko kasi naka Night Shift ako ngayon, pero happy na ko!!!

While waiting for my supplier to deliver my LOTR DVDs, I contented myself with the VHS tapes. (I can't stand VCD pixels). And to my surprise and delight, I saw that there were some scenes added that I didn't see during the December advanced screenings. No earth-shattering moment, but an angle of Sauron that wasn't there before, a new view of the firecracker going up into the sky, an additional close-up of Gandalf as he listens to Saruman---and I went, "Hey, this ain't bad after all!"

Got my copy from Astro SM North Edsa. They are not displaying the merchandise but you have to ask for it from the counter. The salesgirl remembered me from previous orders and asked if I am availing of the promo (what promo?), i said no and will pay for the full retail of P1200.

She proceeded in issuing me the invoice placing Pinoydvd[/d] to Sold to line. (She remembered me from the Time Machine promo  :D  )
She then bagged the disk placed the receipt and immediately placed something else - A T-shirt! Without me asking for it!

No thats what I call Pinoydvd clout  ;D ;D

BTW, I noticed another shopper perusing an opened copy of LOTR at the counter for any scratches. I didn't hear  kung tinawaran (baka member din dito :D :D )

For you guys and gals who bought LOTR R1 and for those who are planning to buy:

I've watched my LOTR DVD for 3 times now and I noticed that there are cracks around the center hole of the disc 1.  This was caused by the tight button on the center hub of the case.
So I'm planning to move my disc 1 in another case.

Astrovision and the rest of the local shops says their new stocks of LOTR DVDs will arrive in two weeks' time.

I suggest that you guys source out the contact numbers of your favorite video shop and just call 'em up to be updated. Or get the number of the distributors themselves, since they -- more than likely -- will be able to give a clearer idea as to when their re-orders will arrive, rather than the retailers.

It will save you the effort and frustration and you can always ask to secure a copy should it becomes available.

Stocks of the LOTR DVD were depleted from retail outlets as early as two weeks ago. It's already the 19th of August and new stocks still have not arrived in retail outlets yet. I think this failure by the local legit distributors to meet the demand of consumers for the LOTR DVD is not helping in the drive against piracy one bit. Think of it this way: LOTR is probably the most popular DVD title ever released to date. People who would not normally buy original DVD copies of movies are likely to make an exception with this one. This is supposed to give the ailing local video retail industry a rare opportunity to boost sales. But what do they do? They treat the rare occurrence like crap and flush the opportunity down the toilet. A couple of days after the DVD is released, anybody who is not willing to sell their soul for it could not get a legit copy of the LOTR DVD. Until today, stocks of this DVD have not been replenished in retail outles yet. Now, do you think people in this day and age are willing to wait weeks for stocks to arrive in stores just to get the original copy of a movie? I think the regular customer’s initial reaction after they find out the LOTR DVD is out of stock in Astro or Video City would be to head down to the nearest Abu shop where ironically the dual layer LOTR DVD (true copy of the original, not a screener) has been available since June and are always on stock.

Ganyan talaga ang buhay.  Kung mabagal ka eh dadaanan ka ng pagkakataon.  The issue with the wrong raid by VRB at Astro Megamall should have been a signal to act quickly.

If you read the earlier posts on this thread, the 5-disc Gift Set was initially priced by Amazon at $50.  Then a few days after eh ginawa nilang $60.  Had we placed pre-orders (hindi sa shopping cart lang ha) eh di nakamura na sana tayo ng $10.

Kung sa bagay poproblemahin ko pa ang assurance na hindi masisira ang box ng giftset.  So siguro sinadya na ng tadhana na hindi ko mabili sa Amazon at $50.

Same with the 2-disc set.  Baka hindi sinadya ng tadhana na mabili ng mga naghahanap.  Baka ang plano sa inyo it either to wait for the new stocks or get from PinoyDVD sellers.

From VideoBusiness: (not sure if this was posted already)

AUG. 16 | New Line Home Entertainment's The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring looks to be doing an unprecedented percentage of its sales on DVD.

The studio confirmed that its shipment to retailers was 65% DVD and 35% VHS but declined to provide sales figures or discuss competitors' sales estimates.

According to estimates by competitors, the title sold 5.2 million to 6.5 million copies in its first week, with VHS representing just 1 million to 1.5 million, or as little as 20% to 25% of those.

Competitors believe Warner Home Video's Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone sold about 55% of its copies on DVD in its early weeks.

ey guys, wuts the cheapest speaker to get in order to enjoy LOTR's sounds?

Hey, what are the features of your LOTR? Is it Region 1? At the sound options menu you can change from 5.1 ex to 2.0 surround, both in english. Unless you have a different version and there really is no switch to english 2.0 surround, you can get a good enough Altec Lansing 2.1 Active speaker system (a.k.a. computer speaker. It's pretty cheap and easy to get an adapter if the speaker won't accept RCA inputs/outputs) for under P2000 -- even with 5.1 ex setting you can just crank up the volume and hang on. But shop around, there may be better and cheaper speakers out there aside from the PC, maybe you have some stereo speakers at home with aux inputs. I use an A4 2.1 PC speaker set up. It's still good. hope this helps.

ey guys need help here... the sound gets low a bit whenever there are fight scenes.. pag nagsasalita sila sobrang lakas pero pag may laban parang medyo mahina... i don't have any speakers... wuts the best solution?

Shift the audio track from the default Dolby Digital 5.1EX to Dolby Digital 2.0 Surround.

I think.

Yeah, if you don't have 5 speakers and a subwoofer, forget it. It's still good but you lose a lot of other sounds. Match it with your two speaker set-up. Much louder. More sounds. Anyway, it's surround.

question is, will they release the 4 disc set here? :-\

Why on earth not? But even in a worst case scenario, you have our ever reliable suppliers like Parc, Charbit, and my own favorite Procopio.

i'm just scared that we're gonna get some crappy R3 version. i want the packaging gorgeous and easy to look at and actually look precioouuusss... and not l;ook like some cheap taiwan imitation. i've learned my lesson from the moulin rouge R3 (lord ang panget ng packaging) and i don't want that to happen to my beloved LOTR. :-*

I've heard a lot of good things about Parc and Charbit. And my own personal experience with Procopio has been wonderful - I'm one satisfied customer. The DVDs I get from him are R1 - and they're far from crappy. :) The packaging is intact. When you deal with him, you specify what you want and he delivers.

Hey, what are the features of your LOTR? Is it Region 1? At the sound options menu you can change from 5.1 ex to 2.0 surround, both in english. Unless you have a different version and there really is no switch to english 2.0 surround, you can get a good enough Altec Lansing 2.1 Active speaker system (a.k.a. computer speaker. It's pretty cheap and easy to get an adapter if the speaker won't accept RCA inputs/outputs) for under P2000 -- even with 5.1 ex setting you can just crank up the volume and hang on. But shop around, there may be better and cheaper speakers out there aside from the PC, maybe you have some stereo speakers at home with aux inputs. I use an A4 2.1 PC speaker set up. It's still good. hope this helps.

mine is the canadian R1 version. how much is your A4 2.1 and where did you get it?
Title: Re:The Lord Of The Rings DVDs
Post by: Dan on Aug 22, 2002 at 06:15 PM
I got it at PC express for under 2000. it's a multi-purpose thing with i think 800 watts of PMPO or sumthin. not just for the computer, for any unit that can output to a speaker.  but you should shop around and compare quality. Like I said, I saw an ALtec Lansing for around that price but I don't know about the sound and quality. should be good, though.

How's this for luck?

As soon as I read from this thread that local dealers sell the R1 version, I immediately called all accessible stores. Of course, no one confirmed availability.

Last monday, I was at the Glorietta malling, and on a lark, went in to Tower records to check against all hope. All I saw was lots of VCDs and VHS on display. So I asked the cashier if they still had DVDs. She made me wait awhile, then called an assistant to pick out a DVD from the open racks, where I didn't bother to look. Curious, I took a look at the rack as the other guy didn't see the disc. Lo and behold, ONE COPY! I checked if it was R1, and it WAS! Eeyaahoo!

Goddamn if I didn't nearly run towards the cashier to pay. The cashier then said that on the same day they had to tell a lot of other people that they had no more stocks of the disc. They only found out the remaining stock later that evening.

The disc till now is still sealed, and plan to watch it this weekend. I've noticed a cut sticker on top indicating it is a from Korea. Can't wait!

Hey guys, I'm kinda embarassed by what just happened.

Just opened the DVD this AM. Guess what? My sealed copy only has ONE disc! Even the disc holder was missing! $#!+ God, I don't know what to say...

Would'nt you know it? From my previous euphoria, I'm now down low. Called Tower Glorietta and informed the about this. Feedback was their stocks havent arrived, but they did get my contact number to inform me when they will. Sabi ko nga kunin niyo na lang sa O at the Power plant.  Well, if they don't have anything by tommorrow I'm gonna ask my money back and buy elsewhere!

So for prospective buyers: CAVEAT EMPTOR. When you buy open the thing immediately to make sure, or just feel if the thing has two discs.

BTW, a tip: was at Galleria tonight, Odysset has loads of the discs. Nearly all had VRB stickers, and promo stickers indicating they were for New Zealand market. Check em out ( but leave a copy for me, eh?)

In that regard, I notice that:
1) There were two white security stickers over the lids. My Tower Records $#!+ copy white sticker had been peeled off ( where I saw the "Korea" text) and looks like only one sticker was present.

2) They were noticeably heavier than from what I got.

Good luck, guys!

Or maybe the sales person sincerely thought that it was multi-region or modified because other people who bought from that store probably got modified dvd players. But nevertheless, since he did say that the player is multi-region and it's not....they should replace your unit with what they said in the first place to be...or at least...modify it free of charge.  ;D

It's a very big store....I forgot the name....you won't miss it since Podium is pretty small mall anyway.  There are about a dozen copies still left. Yes....it's still R1. Yes, it has the stickers and the protections and the whatever else you're looking for. That is...if until now...you still don't have your copy.

Nevertheless...this is just an FYI.

P.S. Yes it's P1,200.

Post by: himura on Oct 03, 2002 at 10:02 AM
FYI lang... I got this from DigitalBits.

Below are the final specs for the 4-disc LOTR set from New Line, that'll be coming in November:

Discs One and Two - The Extended Version of the Film

208 minutes (split over both discs), anamorphic widescreen (2.35:1) and Dolby Digital 5.1 EX and DTS 6.1 ES, isolated 5.1 sound effects mix, isolated 5.1 music track, Commentary Track One with the director and writers (Peter Jackson, Fran Walsh and Philippa Boyens), Commentary Track Two with members of the design team (Grant Major, Ngila Dickson, Richard Taylor, Alan Lee, John Howe, Dan Hennah, Chris Hennah and Tania Rodger), Commentary Track Three with members of the production and post-production team (Barrie Osborne, Mark Ordesky, Andrew Lesnie, John Gilbert, Rick Porras, Howard Shore, Jim Rygiel, Ethan Van der Ryn, Mike Hopkins, Randy Cook, Christian Rivers, Brian Van't Hull, Alex Funke), Commentary Track Four with members of the cast (Elijah Wood, Ian McKellen, Liv Tyler, Sean Astin, John Rhys-Davies, Billy Boyd, Dominic Monaghan, Orlando Bloom, Christopher Lee and Sean Bean).

Note: Discs Two and Three can be viewed in "explore" mode with traditional menus or "tour" mode via a Play All feature.

Disc Three - The Appendices Part I: From Book to Vision

2 and 1/2 hours of documentary content, including J.R.R. Tolkien-Creator of Middle-earth featurette, From Book to Script featurette, Visualizing the Story section featuring Storyboards and Pre-viz featurette, Designing and Building Middle-earth section featuring Designing Middle-earth featurette, Costume Design featurette and Weta Workshop featurette, design galleries including The Enemy, The Last Alliance, Isengard, The Fellowship, Rivendell and Lothlorien, interactive Middle-earth Atlas with timeline, New Zealand as Middle-earth intertactive map with video, disc introduction with director Peter Jackson.

Disc Four - The Appendices Part II: From Vision to Reality

3 and 1/2 hours of documentary content, including Filming section featuring a production photo gallery and the The Fellowship of the Cast featurette, A Day in the Life of a Hobbit featurette, Cameras in Middle-earth featuette, Visual Effects section and featuette, Post-Production section featuring Editorial featuette and a multi-angle presentation, Digital Grading featuette, Sound and Music featuette and Sound Design Demo, The Soundscapes of Middle-earth featurette, Music for Middle-earth featurette, The Road Goes Ever On featuette, disc introduction with director Peter Jackson.

All told, the 4-disc set is expected to include over 30 hours of unique content created just for this release (including the film and the commentaries). The discs will also feature additional DVD-ROM content and over 2,000 photos and conceptual sketches. And let me tell you... we've seen a few of those featuettes. These aren't 5-minute EPK pieces. They're much more substantial - 20 to 30+ minutes in many cases. Good stuff.
 
... so there we have it... I'm very, very excited about this awesome set.  ;D

This probably rivals even the massive 4-disc Pearl Harbor: Vista series.  ;)

The 5.1 isolated music and sound effects tracks are not in the final production version of the disc. According to New Line, this is because to save on disc space.

Here's some info on what additional scenes were added, from www.scifi.com:

DVD Enhances First Rings

The upcoming special extended version DVD of The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Rings features a completely new edit of the hit movie that now clocks in at more than three and a half hours, according to a preview offered to SCI FI Wire. Director Peter Jackson significantly altered the theatrical-release version of the movie, which itself ran nearly three hours in length, extending most of the film's scenes and adding important new scenes, new visual effects and a new soundtrack with nearly 50 minutes of new score music by Oscar-winning composer Howard Shore. All told, Jackson inserted about 30 minutes of new footage into the movie.

The new version of the movie occupies two discs of the upcoming four-disc special-edition DVD, which will be available Nov. 12 with a suggested retail price of $39.99. A limited collector's edition of the special version will also come out with a price of $79.92.

Among the added scenes:
•The film opens with a new sequence of Bilbo Baggins (Ian Holm) writing a journal entry entitled "Concerning Hobbits" and features extended scenes of life in Hobbiton.
•Frodo (Elijah Wood) and Sam (Sean Astin) witness the exodus of the elves from Middle-earth to the Grey Havens.
•Aragorn talks more with Boromir (Sean Bean) about the fate of men.
•Gandalf (Ian McKellen) intones the Black Speech inscription from the One Ring during an extended Council of Elrond scene.
•Galadriel (Cate Blanchett) bestows gifts upon the Fellowship before they depart Lothlorien (and the new version restores Gimli's [John Rhys-Davies] crush on Galadriel).
•Extended scenes of the Fellowship with the elves in Lothlorien.

In addition to deepening the story and offering more insight into the characters, the restored footage also sets the viewer up for events to come in Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers, the sequel that comes to movie theaters on Dec. 18.

October 22, 2002 - If having two discs filled with amazing special features wasn't enough, the four-disc Extended Edition of The Fellowship of the Ring features two very cool Easter Eggs that just add to the awesomeness of the set.

These first two eggs are found on discs one and two of the set, and each one is of a video that many LOTR fans would be quite happy to have on DVD.

The first one is actually the MTV Movie Awards spoof on the Council of Elrond scene that is pretty hilarious. I've wanted to see this again since it first aired (and was repeated a thousand times on MTV), and now it's on DVD.

To find this one, go into the Scene Selection menu on disc one, and head to the final page where you'll find the real Council of Elrond scene. Highlight that scene and press "down" to find an image of the Ring. Press enter to view the entire clip from MTV complete with an introduction from Peter Jackson.

The second egg can be found on disc two, and is the awesome four-minute "Fan Preview" of The Two Towers that was shown at the end of The Fellowship of the Ring this past March as it was on the way out of the theaters.

To watch this awesome trailer, go to the Scene Selection menu and navigate your way to the final page where you'll find the chapter with the Fan Club Credits. Move the cursor to the numbers on the far right of the screen, and when it's on "48" press down to make an image of the Two Towers appear. Press enter to view the trailer in full anamorphic widescreen and Dolby Digital 5.1 audio.

Good luck to those who ordered their copy online and had it shipped to Manila.  I heard the item is very attractive to the Customs people because of the appearance and the weight and thus you can expect a higher amount to be paid for taxes.

Though the bookends were said to be well packed to prevent any damage (no need to worry about them moving about in the box and getting cracked or chipped off), the question remains on the protection of the outer box itself.

Just hope that adequate protection is/was provided to ensure that the outer box, especially the corners are not damaged/deformed.  Plus, that the Customs people inspecting them won't damage them with their cutters like what happens sometimes with regular DVDs.

Also, be cautious with some not-known or newly opened online stores that sell it at very low prices.  I read somewhere before in a different site mentioning warnings on this.  Some stores may ship to you the rejects or damaged stocks and will not replace them or refund your payment.

They may also charge you but fail to deliver anything.  Though you can revert the charges with your credit card, you may experience some hassles and frustrations.  

So go with the reliable onlines sources as well as local sellers.

Just got my 2 orders of the Gift Set from P@RC this morning.  Even included the newspaper today in the picture as proof.

WOW!!!  It really looks impressive.  It lived up to the expectations.

I have not tried viewing it yet but below are some details on the packaging.

(http://www.cruzsackfiles.netfirms.com/images/lotr/reggie4.jpg)(http://www.cruzsackfiles.netfirms.com/images/lotr/reggie2.jpg)
(http://www.cruzsackfiles.netfirms.com/images/lotr/reggie3.jpg)(http://www.cruzsackfiles.netfirms.com/images/lotr/reggie1.jpg)

As you will notice in the left lowerhand picture, the Argonath bookends are well protected with the moulded clear plastic, plus they are very well tied to the moulded clear plastic.  Behind the plastic moulding is a printed background to complement the bookends.  The moulded clear plastic also holds the 4-disc DVD package in place.

For those wondering where the National Geographic DVD is located (after seeing pictures of the sealed box before), it is actually behind the printed background of the bookends.

The case used for the National Geographic DVD is a snapper (notice the plastic tab on the DVD case on the upper righthand picture).

Though most of us are non-US based, the package includes one free adult movie ticket to Two Towers - note na hindi siya free adult movie - ticket lang siya for adults (the 1/2 size black item with the big Lord of the Rings Two Towers on the picture on the upper righthand). The sticker stating this free item is the one on the picture on the lower righthand.

I preserved the celophane plastic wrapping of the box by using a cutter to break the sealed plastic only on the required areas.  Then using a 3M clear tape, I kept the celephane in place.

For those who want to preserve almost everything in the box, you can temporarily transfer the 4-discs into spare DVD cases, preferably those 2-disc DVD cases.

Although, the collectors edition is too expensive for me @ 5,300 from Parc.  Might have a set delivered from the US na lang pero accdg to the Amazon website it has RCE coding and they do not guarantee it will play on multi region enabled players.  Does anyone have the skinny on RCE?  ???

I got my gift set from PARC yesterday as well and it played fine on my multi-region player (Pioneer). FYI.

I haven't been able to watch the movie yet (planning to get together with family and friends this weekend for a viewing) but I have seen some of the extra features. Great stuff! The two easter eggs are also cool.

But I wish I had thought of keeping the plastic wrap of the box because the box looks very nice too. Oh well.

Okay, I have two complaints about the new extended edition release:

1. What??? No The Two Towers stuff at all???

2. They forgot to mention on the package that among the added stuff is actually 20 more minutes of end credits, for those who paid to join the fan club. Anyone here at Pinoy DVD going to admit that his/her name is on that list?  ::)

If I remember correctly, I read a thread here somewhere that the extended version has a couple of easter eggs that included the MTV spoof of LOTR:FOTR and another easter egg that was sort of a teaser for LOTR:TTT that was shown in the theaters in US last March when LOTR:FOTR was on its way out of the theaters. ;D

just in case this was already posted some time ago, i'm just reposting this easter egg info...  got it from dvd movie guide (http://dvdmg.com):

Discs One and Two also include a couple of Easter eggs. On DVD One, go to the final page of the 'Select a Scene' area and highlight chapter 27. Click down from there and you'll see a ring. Hit 'enter' and you'll get a three-minute, 29-second spoof from the MTV Movie Awards that features Sarah Michelle Gellar and Jack Black.

...head to the egg on DVD Two. Enter its 'Select a Scene' area and click chapter 48 on the right side of the screen. Once you do this, move the icon down to highlight a two towers icon. Click 'enter' and you'll find the original Two Towers preview trailer that appeared toward the end of Fellowship's theatrical run.

Hope everything comes out well considering customs may open it and they could handle it roughly and damage some items.

Hi dulber! This is the first time I transacted w/ Amazon Canada though I've ordered before from Amazon.com and so far I've encountered no problems.

W/ regards to the delivery, the post office just sends me a notice to pick up the package and when I do, sometimes I pay P20 and sometimes none at all. I also noticed that the package is unopened. Hopefully this time, it remains untampered :)

I just checked your computation (exept for the Psych book) and compared it the prices of the local PinoyDVD member sellers and it seems na mas makamura ka pa had you sourced all your DVD here, hassle free pa sana.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to make you feel bad about your order but I'm just sharing with you something I also realized before with online shopping like with Amazon.

Aside from the lengthy shipping time, the tax is the big "aray" sa pocket.  For items/title that are so attractive to Customs people like the ones you ordered eh swerte ka pa nga at ganon lang ang taxes mo.

Plus, there is that possible damage to the merchandise na kung ire-return mo eh isa pang sakit ng ulo.  If the online store is willing to replace it for free and shoulder the shipping costs here goes the Customs taxes again.

After my bad experiences, I opted to get my DVD from local sellers especially kung unti-unti lang ang bili para hindi aray sa bulsa.

OK then, enjoy your DVDs.  Just consider sourcing your DVDs locally as an option and make a cost-benfit analysis - suggestion lang naman.

Grabe, ang dami mong papanoorin.  Have you decided na the order in which you will be watching them.  Ang hirap siguro ano.  Buti na lang palapit na ang weekend so you have more time to watch and enjoy them all.

I pre-ordered and it shipped out November 12 but I had it sent to the US since my cousin will be going home before christmas.  I also ordered BoB and sent it there as well ;)

As for shipping I dont know how long it'll take to reach here but to give you an idea the BoB shipped on November 5 and it got delivered in the US on the 12th using expedited international shipping.

Anyway I can't wait for my cousin to arrive and watch all the DVDs I sent there  ;D

Guys question lang.

Not all but there are some.  There are really some DVDs that are cheaper in
Canada than in the US, you really just have to compare.  Plus there are coupon codes that you can use to get a CDN$ 10 discount  ;D

Its CDN$ divided by roughly 1.5 to get you an estimate in US$

Since I use a Citibank credit card, I roughly converted my US purchases by P55- US$1 to get the peso equivalent and my Canadian purchases by P36-CDN$1.

The exchange rate I use is on the high side (my reasoning is that if its still looks attractive after the conversion then I'll buy it)

My last US purchase, Citibank's exchange rate for VISA was P54.6-US$1 and for Canadian purchases, I got the rate of P34.67-CDN$1.

Hope this helps.

so far, I have tried the extended version on four players and it has failed to work properly on one of the platforms. I tried playing it on two Compaq laptops with DVD-ROM model  toshiba dvd-rom sr-r2102. it's also an 8x CD writer . The first laptop failed to play it properly with error message from windows xp "cannot play on current windows setting. Tune down colors and resolution." But it turns out that a particular driver was not properly installed on that laptop. I tried playing it on an identical model laptop and dvd-rom, but with properly installed set of drivers, it played really well and the resolution on the LCD screen was breathtaking, with screen settings at 1280x1024. 64 million colors, was a breeze.

Then when I got home, I plugged it in a Sony VX-series DVD component. Played awesomely well. Lastly, I plugged it in a Sony Playstation 2 SCPH-30001, 2001 US version. It played quite well too.  ;D

To those who have bought the Gift Set from Amazon.ca... is there any difference in packaging from the one being sold in the US (French text on the outer box, etc)? Thanks...

All trailers and "basic" extras can be found in the 2-disc set and ONLY in the 2-disc set.

The 2 disc and the extended cut have completely different features.

That is why up to now I'm still keeping the theaterical version(2disc) to avail all the features on both versions.

Just remember the 2 disc is what peter  Jackson says is the directors cut and not the 4 disc extended version. :D

Did you get the US Version? I think I got the Canadian version because it doesn't have any indication that I could watch TTT for free. Anyway, I'm not sure you could use that here either.

There's an easter egg where you can access the two towers trailer - just go to the second disc, go to the fanclub credits (48) then when you get there go to the number (48) again and click down - you should see an icon of the two towers. :)

No, it's valid only in the United States, and only from December 18th - December 31st.

Hey, those with the free ticket, check it out! There's a pink padlock printed on it. If you blow on it, it disappears temporarily. Nice way to prevent pirated tickets!

Better yet, check the easter egg in disc 1. It's the MTV spoof of the council of Elrond. Enjoy! :)

from what I've read sa reviews, there are slight variations in the 4-disc set, in that some scenes have been re-edited... but not really taken out...

so I think what you see on the 2-disc set is still in the 4-disc set, but some are probably not exact identical scenes.

Well, it had to happen.  I've read the posts with the warnings about the dual-disc amaray cases, pero di ko pinansin.  Last Sunday, I took out my LOTR 2-disc set to watch the theatrical version after watching the extended version.  Noong tinanggal ko 'yung Disc 1 na naka-attach sa additional disc holder, bigla na lang may natanggal na maliit na part.  Tapos, nakita ko na maraming cracks - ang isa pa nito ay 1-1/2 cm. long!

Nakakapanglata talaga!  Sayang na sayang ako.  Shelling out P1,500 for it is no joke.  Kaya, kayong may LOTR 2-disc set na nakalagay pa rin sa original dual-disc slim amaray cases, lipat niyo na 'yung isang disc sa isang spare single-disc case.  Huwag niyo nang paubutin sa sinapit ko!

Post by: redherring on Nov 27, 2002 at 01:21 PM
There are two lord of the rings easter eggs. The first one on disc one happens after the last chapter which is The Council of Elrond. If you scroll down (i think), you should see an icon of the ring and if you highlight this, you get to see the MTV-spoof of the council of elrond.

The second easter egg is on disc two, after the fanclub credits. Go to the chapter selection for the fanclub credits, scroll down again, and you should see at the bottom right hand of your screen an icon of the Two Towers. Highlight this and you'll get to see an amazing preview of what is to come this December when The Two Towers opens worldwide. This is amazing stuff!!! Hope this helps and enjoy! :)

dexterc,

mongaddi,

running time is approx 228mins... that includes 20mins of fan club roll...  so that leaves out around 208mins for the extended cut...with credits...

as for the theatrical cut... running time is 178mins... so yes there is actually 30 minutes of extra footage, which includes the credit roll, but not including the fan club roll.

Have you tried to compare the special features of the Lord of the Rings 2-Disk with the Extended Edition?

I noticed in the 2-disc version that included in it is an MTV of Enya whereas, it is not available in the Extended Version.

i know that it might sound to trivial, but I couldn't help but be interested since I love Enya's music.

hi there! i think there's a thread here which discusses the differences between the two editions. anyway, the fact is both editions actually contain different special features and none of the features found in the 2-disc version can be found in the extended one...

that's why if you're a die hard LOTR fan, it's a must to buy both versions  ;D

Just got the gift set I ordered from Amazon.ca today and for those who are interested, here's what I think are the differences (can't confirm since I don't have a US version to compare it with)... 1) French Dolby 2.0 instead of an English Dolby 2.0 audio track. 2) some French text on the packaging, actually not the cardboard packaging nor the DVD case itself but the French text is present in both the "information" paper glued on the cardboard box and the inlay (chapter titles) for the DVD itself; and 3) it has no free adult movie pass... uhmm... let me state that in a better way... no adult Two Towers movie pass.  ::)

I know it's still way ahead for all of us....since most of us haven't even seen the second installment of LOTR:TTT, but what do you think are the odds that they'll be releasing LOTR:TTT Extended Platinum Gift Set edition on top of the usual theatrical release like what they did with FOTR?

What figurine or freebie would you guys like to go along with this set? How about a Helm's Deep, Isengard, Baradur or Edoras reproduction? DVD stands or book racks? whatever?

Isn't it wonderful just trying to imagine what would accompany the set. I would definitely be getting one! I wouldn't mind looking into a Palantir to see what New Line Cinema is cooking up for our DVD futures!

i finally found the time to watch my copy of the FOTR extended edition during the holidays. i noticed something wrong when i played the cast commentary on disk 2. on disk 1, accompanying the commentary are subtitles that tell you who is speaking while on disk 2, when i continued the commentary the subtitles were wrong. meaning instead for example of reading Elijah Wood on top it would have the name of the assistant director or some technical guy who worked on the effects although the speech is still that of the cast. anyone else experience this? ??? >:(

Just tried it out, and I still get the proper cast names for the commentary on Disc 2, hajime.

Maybe it's a player incompatibility with the disc? I tested a US R1 version on a Konzert.

Checked out my copy... Canadian Version not the US so I don't know if it's the same.

When I tried to continue the commentary, it does the same thing. It picks up the "subtitle" from the previous commentary team listed (i.e. when picking the commentary of the Design team, you get subtitles of the director/writer, when picking the post-production team, you get the "subtitles" from the Design team).

But I tried accessing the commentaries again from the main menu and it yielded the correct "subtitles". Director/writer on the director/writer commentary.  ??? Don't know but I think there's a glitch in the Canadian version of the DVD. Is it the same with the US version?

Hi earendil,

Since the giftset is heavy more or less 2 lbs. weight, you might want to check out first the dvd marketplace for local sellers. The cost difference is not that much, it might be even cheaper if you buy it from a pinoydvd member.

If you buy online at Amazon and want it to ship it here directly using standard shipping the cost will be arround P300 pesos but chances are you will be charge by the local post office of customs tax of P1,000 or more ;D

Kung expedited international shipping it will cost you an arm and leg plus customs tax din  ;D. Another alternative is to try using Johny Air cargo to ship your order from any US based online merchants to Manila.

Pero kung nagtitipid ka talaga, I suggest you try inquiring from this PDVD members: charbit, PARC, Emildjr or any reliable sellers sa marketplace. Atleast you will free yourself from the hasle of paying customs tax, lost shipment and other problems ;D You never know they might give some discounts or delivered it free from your doorsteps ;D

Hope this helps 8)

Geoffrey 8)

I ordered from Amazon.ca and had it delivered expedited to my Laguna home. The total shipping weight was 5.150Lbs.  And they used DHL. It was also my first order from them.  The price then was 79.99CAD
Expedited Shipping was 24.98CAD

Unforunately my Customs Duties/Taxes came to 1,427 Pesos!

Total was more than 5,000.

Lesson learned: grab local R1 offerings and hang on to a great deal once you smell one!  Charbit honored the 3,400 peso deal he made with those who signed up for it prior to the release.

Sayang, although I think you really shouldn't have shipped it using expidited method. I used standard method for shipping and my order arrived in a week!

Pinakiusapan ko yung customs nun ita-tax nila ako (for about P1,200+) since the listed value in their papers of the item I bought was not more than US$50 (CDN$77.99 equivalent to about $49.60 then...) so pinalusot nya yung package without tax.

Ang problema lang nga duon sa standard shipping is my LOTR box had two of big corner nicks since Amazon.ca didn't pack it that sturdy, but DVDs and the Argonath were in excellent shape.

Ok lang yan, Frank.  If you're a LOTR fan, I would recommend that you buy both the Widescreen (theatrical) edition and the Extended edition.  Each has its own unique features.  Ako, nga, eh, I plan to buy both the Theatrical edition as well as the Extended Edition of Two Towers and ROTK, when they are already available.

Earendil,

Sayang at tapos na ang Christmas season.  Anyways, what I do to cut on expenses was to order in Amazon.com and have it delivered to a relative living in the USA (my tita will be going here within this week).  Since free delivery ang Amazon.com, bawas sa expense at isasama na ng tita ko sa balikbayan box niya.  Makukuha ko na ang inorder kong DVDs (2 transactions) which I ordered last October and December (pahabol!!)  Yes, matagal siya, pero handa naman ako maghintay ng ilan buwan.  Pero if you like it here and now, I strongly suggest you buy sa mga members ng PinoyDVD.  They are most reliable and most willing to help (since they are also collectors like you and me).

By the way, I bought my 4-disc LOTR from Charbit (hows that for plugging, huh!! ;D

I guess I'm lucky...

(1) My collector's box set arrived intact since Amazon.ca sent it in a big sturdy box with lots of bubble wrap (ordered it together with Attack of the Clones)

(2) Spent only P2,719.32 (Attack of the Clones cost P917.54), both acc to my credit card bill

(3) Shipping was free to Manila (used a coupon to reduce the price, discount was bigger than shipping cost!)

(4) Got charged P20 (package handling fee) at the Post Office. Customs guy opened the box, smiled and wished me a merry christmas.

(5) Used standard shipping and it only took ten days to get here.

This is my eighth order from amazon.ca and I'm still a very, very happy customer. No missing orders yet. Never been charged for taxes. (Maybe it's my dashing good looks...but the then again the customs inspector's a guy...)

hi guys. am seriously thinking of buying the 4-disc dvd (already have the 2 disc). was wondering if it's an ok purchase compared naman to the steep price of the gift set. also to those who have the 4-disc, they add the 30 minutes extra footage right? complete with music and such? thanks guys!!

Yup. the 30 minutes of extended scenes are blended in fluidly throughout the film. I believe that the 4-disc edition is a must have for any LOTR fan... Best Director's commentary I've listened to so far... plus the extra features on the two discs were excellent, they didn't bore me at any point . If you're not into figurines then I think the 4-disc set is very sufficient enough, the National Geographic disc will not be worth the extra thousands that you will spend, IMO... (but I'm a sucker for action figures so it's the Argonath bookends gift set if you ask me.  ::) )

Post by: dni on Jan 14, 2003 at 08:28 AM
IMO, it is worth every peso!  not very often that i enjoy the extra features and very seldom that i watch the extra features without using the fast forward button.  but this one  :o :o :o !!

the 30 minutes of extra footage was also good.  especially the part when Galadriel gave gifts to the Hobbits which is used in TTT

Buy the 4-disc set, it's well worth it. And the added 30+ minutes of scenes adds more depth to the characters (but still no Tom Bombadil) and the scenes at Lothlorien sets up events in Two Towers nicely, and it made Celeborn (Galadriel's consort) more useful to the Fellowship, and Haldir lives up to his role in the books as he guided them to Lorien.

The additional 2 disc appendices are the best! More in-depth behind the scenes footage at WETA Workshop, etc.

If you can live without the Argonath polystone bookends, and the National Geographic DVD, the 4-disc set will do well.

sell your two disc set and get the extended version. if your a fan of the film, you ain't goin to regret it. 30 more minutes that makes the second movie make more sense. unlike other movies (like say Starwars), the cut scenes were important or somewhat relevant events that shouldn't have been cut in the first place.

with regards to the bookends. i dont think its wise to spend $58 on a one movie dvd set.

It's not in the DVD anymore but from what I recall, it's in the scene where Bilbo and Gandalf are talking, sitting on the mountain slopes. There's a pan of the landscape from their POV - and you can see this tiny bit of smoke chugging, chugging along what seems to be a road until it disappears out of sight.

I don't think so, otherwise a lot of local buyers would have already complained by now.  In case you don't know, the 4-disc LOTR released by Astrovision is Region 1 encoded.  I got my set from Charbit and I have not encountered any problems with it.

thanks...  :)

The Lord of the Rings, book-wise, is actually 6 books compiled into three parts: The Fellowship of the Ring, The Two Towers and Return of the King. Each part contains about 2 books.

Before The Lord of the Rings was The Hobbit. While The Hobbit was written for children, The Lord of the Rings was an epic meant to be read by adults.

J.R.R. Tolkien created a whole world in Middle-Earth. The Silmarillion, finished and published by Tolkien's son (I think), has more info on it. Tolkien also wrote Middle-Earth's history, and invented different languages for its various peoples. The History of Middle-Earth books (there are around...4? 6?) are being sold in National and Powerbooks now.

The Lord of the Rings movie trilogy is based on the The Lord of the Rings books, although the beginning of FOTR summarizes the topics found in The Silmarillion, as well as the plot of The Hobbit.

There're also animated versions of both The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings.

Hope I helped!  ;D

Easter eggs yung hidden features that you have to look for in your DVDs. They aren't explicitly displayed on the menu screen. Often you have to press up or down for the easter eggs to appear. Example: sa Fellowship, when you go to the chapter"Council of Elrond" in scene selections, press down at biglang may lalabas na image ng one ring. press enter to see MTV's version of the Council of Elrond(lumabas to sa MTV movie awards)

Got this bit of info from the dvdtalk newsletter:

Peter Jackson has held back some exceptional stuff from the first two Extended Edition DVDs which is slated for inclusion in the final Return of The King Extended Edition. This was done in an effort not to spoil the third film for movie goers before it was released. One scene which was at one point part of The Two Towers Extended Edition (a flash back to the creation of Gollum) has been actually pulled from the Extended Edition DVD to be used in actual upcoming theatrical release for The Lord of The Rings - The Return of The King. One very encouraging note for Lord of the Rings fans who have bought or are planning to buy the Extended Editions - New Line has stated that they are not going to punish loyal fans who buy their Extended Editions buy putting out some sort of other 'Super-Ultimate' Edition or Collection after the third film is out. So your investment in the Extended Editions is safe.

Bro newtype, the widescreen version is much better than the full screen version because you can see in much bigger scope the BATTLE SCENES!

easter eggs for lotr 4 disc r1 ;D

 ;D ;D

These first two eggs are found on discs one and two of the set, and each one is of a video that many LOTR fans would be quite happy to have on DVD.

The first one is actually the MTV Movie Awards spoof on the Council of Elrond scene that is pretty hilarious. I've wanted to see this again since it first aired (and was repeated a thousand times on MTV), and now it's on DVD.

To find this one, go into the Scene Selection menu on disc one, and head to the final page where you'll find the real Council of Elrond scene. High light that scene and press "down" to find an image of the Ring. Press enter to view the entire clip from MTV complete with an introduction from Peter Jackson.


The second egg can be found on disc two, and is the awesome four-minute "Fan Preview" of The Two Towers that was shown at the end of The Fellowship of the Ring this past March as it was on the way out of the theaters.

To watch this awesome trailer, go to the Scene Selection menu and navigate your way to the final page where you'll find the chapter with the Fan Club Credits. Move the cursor to the numbers on the far right of the screen, and when it's on "48" press down to make an image of the Two Towers appear. Press enter to view the trailer in full anamorphic widescreen and Dolby Digital 5.1 audio


 :)

I asked the person at the counter, would there be any possibility of a shortage but they said, everyone who pre-ordered will get a copy on the day itself including the poster and trading card.

Hmmmm....I hope they could deliver! Unlike last year.

Some screen captures from the extended TTT DVD. I don't know if these have been posted before, pero what the heck!:P

As you can see, Denethor is in it!:o He doesn't arrive until book 3 but PJ thought it would be cool to put in some extra stuff in the extended DVD to expand further Boromir's story on how and why he was sent to Rivendell. Also included are shots of Boromir reclaiming Osgiliath and Theoden's funeral, which I think should've been included in the theatrical cut.

Meron bang features sa 2-disc edition ng LOTR  TT na wala sa 4-disc?  Balak ko kaseng antayin na lang ang 4-Disc edition  ng LOTR TT sa November kase pareho lang naman eh tapos may extended scenes pa.

Did you guys enjoy the special features that were included with the two disc version of TTT ?

My husband and I enjoyed almost all the features except for the game preview of Return of the King ... we don't play computer games kasi eh.

After seeing all the features... I am definitely convinced that we should have both versions of the film  ;) Super ganda the features !!!

We also noticed some scenes on the film that weren't in the movie at all. That was surprising for us coz it doesn't say naman in the disc na meron deleted scenes eh.

The preview of the Return of the king game also looks good, (I finished the Two Towers game sa PS2)

A very good buy for 1200! Sulit for me... definately a must have and a companion for the upcoming 4 disc version... sayang lang they didnt include DTS-ES Discrete only DD EX on the 2-disc version, but it will definately be in the 4-disc version... can't wait!!!!

By the way I got the theatrical back to back poster and my package came with the Eowyn trading card.

I guess my husband and I were just day dreaming or something. Parang we both felt that the scenes with Gollum, Sam and Frodo na fighting scene or whatever you call it, was kind longer than usual and so is the part with Gandalf and Balrog falling at the neverending cliff or whatchamacallit.  I guess we didn't pay closer attention when we were watching the movie sa theatre.

Title: Defective Two Towers Disc 1?
Post by: electronic70 on Aug 31, 2003 at 05:08 PM
I bought a copy of the Two Towers from M1 this Friday.

There is a defect in the 1st disc, around the 156 minute mark, with noticable pixelation.

I returned to M1 yesterday; apparently, I was the 4th one who is returning the discs because of the same defect! The clerk said it's a manufacturing problem.

Just thought you guys should know; I didn't have the disc replaced anymore for fear of getting a defective one again...

Anyone have the same experience?

i don't think the problem that some buyers encountered is a batch problem. However, from time to time, some defective discs are able to escape the quality control process. Also, some dvd players are incompatible with some titles, especially older players.

I still haven't bought a copy: ubos agad! ;D But I will be getting one next week siguro when a new shipment arrives.

Anyhow, I rented the TT DVD from ACA and it was different from the retail ones. The cover and disc print was nowhere near the retail one (it had Legolas, Frodo, Aragorn and the Army of the Last Alliance from film one. Strange...) and it was only one disc! ??? Weird. I rented it because I was hoping to see the 10 minute ROTK preview, I didn't mind so much sa movie.

And another thing: the picture quality was not really up to par, if you get my drift. I had a friend who showed me a Jack Sparrow copy and it's picture quality was much better and sharper than the one I rented from ACA. Ba't ganun?

Do they even do that? That would get them in trouble. Anyway, I took out the cover last night and surprise: the VRB hologram sticker came off! :o Upon closer examination,I found out that it was glued to the cover. It had these dried up crystalline traces that were definitely glue or paste or some other adhesive. Another discrepancy besides the disc and cover print and the picture quality was the list of SPECIAL FEATURES at the back. It said the movie has Malay, Chinese, Thai subtitles. What it failed to mention was that there is a Spanish one too. I played the movie with the subtitles on and they weren't off. I'll be posting screencaps when I have the chance.

Now if this is indeed a pirated copy, why is ACA allowing this practice? I'm sure Mr. Revilla would like to hear about this.

VRB stickers, from what I understand, you can get them in bulk, if you have a rental shop. So you put the sticker in as many copies as you want, legit copies.......or not. :o You've already paid for that when you applied for license in VRB or something like that. It's part of their package. How it gets in the hands of the pirates in Greenhills, ewan ko na lang. :)

Bad_burn from what you've described, that doesn't look like the legit copy, sa cover pa lang. ACA is a franchise, right? I'm not sure about that, but maybe the owner of that particular ACA branch rents out those copies, without the knowledge of ACA mismo. I don't know, just speculating. :) Did the people in that branch tell you it was the real thing? If they did, you could probably report them to ACA head office or whoever sells the franchise.

Title: Re:The Lord Of The Rings DVDs
Post by: ThePatriot on Sep 04, 2003 at 06:59 AM
from www.thedigitalbits.com:

September 02, 2003 - Thanks to numerous reports from our readers, it seems there is a major problem with this run of The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers. What we've learned is this:

* If your LotR:TTT disc is going to go bad, it will always take place at the same spot: in chapter 51, where Gandalf says "The battle for Helm's Deep is over, the battle for Middle-earth has begun." The disc will stop skipping around chapter 52, although sometimes it jumps back about an hour in the disc.

* The most common players prone to this problem are Sony players and the PlayStation 2, but Sony isn't the only victim. People are reporting the problem on players from Toshiba, Panasonic and Apex.

Most folks have been able to exchange their discs, although some had to go back as many as three times before finding a working disc. With enough trial and error they find a working one. My suggestion is if you take back the disc to get a new one, if the store has working DVD players on the floor, open it up right there and try it out.

I've spoken to New Line, they are looking into it. We'll get back to you as soon as we hear from them.

I don't know, just speculating. :) Did the people in that branch tell you it was the real thing? If they did, you could probably report them to ACA head office or whoever sells the franchise.



I'm beginning to suspect that too. I didn't bother asking if it was the real thing or not because obviously it wasn't.

Will be reporting this to the proper authorities but I'm not sure what good will come out of it. I bet there're other branches that practice this too. If anybody can provide me with the contact number/email add to the
ACA Head Office or the VRB, it would be much appreciated.

Okay, here are the shots I promised. These have not been edited or doctored. The first batch is the one I took from the copy I rented from ACA. The second batch is from the Jack Sparrow copy from a friend who got it from China months ago. Now if you have an eye for detail ::), you'll notice that there are differences.

Title: Re:The Lord Of The Rings DVDs
Post by: warpzone on Sep 04, 2003 at 08:32 AM
from www.thedigitalbits.com:

September 02, 2003 - Thanks to numerous reports from our readers, it seems there is a major problem with this run of The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers. What we've learned is this:

* If your LotR:TTT disc is going to go bad, it will always take place at the same spot: in chapter 51, where Gandalf says "The battle for Helm's Deep is over, the battle for Middle-earth has begun." The disc will stop skipping around chapter 52, although sometimes it jumps back about an hour in the disc.

* The most common players prone to this problem are Sony players and the PlayStation 2, but Sony isn't the only victim. People are reporting the problem on players from Toshiba, Panasonic and Apex.

Most folks have been able to exchange their discs, although some had to go back as many as three times before finding a working disc. With enough trial and error they find a working one. My suggestion is if you take back the disc to get a new one, if the store has working DVD players on the floor, open it up right there and try it out.

I've spoken to New Line, they are looking into it. We'll get back to you as soon as we hear from them.

They must be reported. Those are pirated DVDs they're renting out.

Your screencaps look okay. I don't know if it's just me but they seem to have the same quality as those pdvds which copy off of the original. Medyo downgraded ang kulay, kahit na sakto lang ang proportion.

Me too skips/freeze in chapter 26, had it changed also and so far no problem whatsoever.  Problema lang disk 1 lang ang pinalitan nila hindi yung buong package. Kawawa naman yung bibili nun kung ipagbibili pa rin nila yun. Intact pa kasi yung Security Seal, plastic lang yung sinira.

just read the discussions they are having at dvdfile.com on the problems they are having with this title. it seems that most of the people there who are having problems are using predominantly Sony dvd players.



For me, i've sworn off using any sort of SONY dvd player whether drive or player ever since i bought my 1st dvd rom drive which had problems playing dual layer dvds.

Warner Sets Up Hotline For TTT Discs
Finally...
 
September 19, 2003 - Warner Advanced Media Operations (WAMO) and New Line Home Entertainment have finally admitted what a lot of us have known for a while: there's a bad batch of discs in The Lord of The Rings: The Two Towers.

The problem surfaces in chapter 51, near the end of the film, where the disc will start to skip during Gandalf's statement "The battle of Helm's Deep is over. The battle for Middle-earth has begun." A number of IGN readers have reported skipping during this scene, and on a wide variety of DVD players.

WAMO has set up a hotline, run 24 hours a day. The caller will get recorded instructions and additional contact information if necessary. The hotline number is (866) 262-2403.

i can't wait for the Special Extended Edition of the Two Towers...

For those who cannot wait to see the extended scenes.  Here are the details.

The extended edition includes more than 43 minutes of new scenes and footage, added by director Peter Jackson just for this DVD release. As with the Fellowship extended cut, these new moments add tremendous depth and development to certain characters, give a greater sense of epic scope to the journey, provide wonderful new moments of humor and greatly enhance the intensity of the major battle scenes. Here's a detailed rundown of the new footage you can expect to see on this DVD:

A new opening scene, after Gandalf's fall in Moria, in which we see Sam and Frodo climbing down a rocky crevasse using the Elven rope (the title The Two Towers now appears at the start of this scene).

Sam and Frodo getting rained on in the mountains as Gollum watches from a cliff above them.

Gollum's good and bad selves fighting over whether or not to lead Sam and Frodo to Mordor.

The Orcs arguing about their orders, and Pippen asking them to give a wounded Merry some water.

More of Saruman the White overseeing the construction of his Orc army, including his ordering the destruction of Fangorn Forest to fuel his furnaces, as well as the Wildmen pledging allegiance to him.

More of the villages of Rohan being plundered by the Wildmen.

Éomer finding a mortally-wounded Théodred at the scene of a great battle with Saruman's Orcs.

More of Gríma Wormtongue banishing Éomer from Rohan.

More of the Orcs fighting over whether or not to eat Merry and Pippin, including the realization that they believe the two Hobbits are carrying the Ring.

Gollum complaining of his hunger in the Dead Marshes, eating a worm and playing on Frodo's knowledge of the Ring.

Leoglas talking about the trees in Fangorn Forest, and how Elves first raised them into intelligent creatures long ago.

More of Gandalf the White's return in Fangorn, in which he talks about what's happening in Edoras and how, because of Merry and Pippin's arrival in the forest, the Ents are going to wake up and fight.

Treebeard reciting Ent poetry to Merry and Pippin, which puts them to sleep.

Gandalf telling Aragorn about events to come on the way to Edoras: "Sauron fears what you may become." Gandalf says Sauron doesn't suspect that the plan is to destroy The Ring rather than use it.

Merry and Pippin drinking a potion in Fangorn that causes them to grow, then getting trapped in the roots of a tree until Treebeard saves them.

Treebeard telling Merry and Pippin why there are so few Ents left - they've lost the Ent wives.

Wormtongue spitting on Aragorn's outstretched hand before he escapes after being spared in Edoras.

Théodred's funeral at Edoras, with Éowyn singing in tribute of her cousin.

Aragorn calming a horse named Brego in the stables of Edoras with Elvish talk, as Éowyn watches.

Saruman grumbling about Gandalf's reappearance, then learning of Aragorn's existence from Wormtongue.

King Théoden promising that they'll return to Edoras before leading his people to Helm's Deep.

More of Faramir capturing Frodo and Sam.

Aragorn and Théoden talking about Éowyn on the road to Helm's Deep.

Aragorn and Éowyn talking about his great age over a bowl of bad stew.

Extended flashback moments of Aragorn and Arwen together in Rivendell.

More intense footage of the battle with the Warg Riders.

Éowyn checking on the meager food stores upon arrival at Helm's Deep.

More of Faramir telling Sam and Frodo of Boromir's death, and of finding the Horn of Gondor broken.

A major new flashback scene in which we see Boromir and Faramir after reclaiming Osgiliath for Gondor. We learn that their father, Denethor, disapproves of Faramir. Denethor tells Boromir about a meeting that's been called by Elrond in Rivendell. Denethor suspects that the Ring has been found. He sends Boromir to the meeting, with instructions to bring the Ring back to Gondor to save their people.

Faramir's men beating Gollum briefly before questioning.

Aragorn and Éowyn talking before the battle of Helm's Deep. Éowyn says she wants to fight at his side, and basically admits that she loves him.

More of the Ent council in the woods - it's already night, but the Ents have only just finished saying "Good morning" to each other.

Much more intense footage during the battle at Helm's Deep.

The trees of Fangorn Forest marching to Helm's Deep, to get revenge on the Orcs.

The Orcs fleeing Helm's Deep, only to be swallowed up by the trees which have blocked their escape.

A very funny moment between Legolas and Gimli in which they brag to each other about the number of Orcs they've each killed in the battle. The result? A tie (sort of).

Merry and Pippin discovering a pantry filled with food after the battle at Isengard.

And finally, Faramir leading Frodo and Sam out of Osgiliath. Sam tells Faramir that he's finally shown his quality - the very best. Faramir threatens Gollum as to what will happen if the Hobbits come to harm. As they depart for Mordor, Sam is kind to Gollum for the first time, telling him that Frodo only meant to save him by letting Faramir's men take him prisoner.

As far as the LOTR TT Ext. Ed. is concerned, it looks like Costco will be the hands-down choice... :)

Costco - $24.79
Walmart - $25.87
Best Buy - $27.99
Circuit City - $29.99

Hindi lang nagpa-price match ang CC at BB sa Costco.  Malamang ganon din ang Target or Walmart.  Di bale, ok na rin naman ang Walmart price.

not on the extended edition. however, you can find a "behind the scenes" teaser for ROTK in the 2-disc theatrical version of TTT.

but then again, i could be wrong... since you haven't been able to locate all the easter eggs (and so have i), maybe one of the easter eggs is an ROTK trailer like the one we see in the theatres during the past weeks!!!  :)

I think the LOTR TTT EE DVD has only one easter egg.  Panay search ko sa Disc 2, wala talaga.  :)  Too bad they didn't include the theatrical teaser for ROTK.

Nonetheless, this is definitely one of the best DVDs released this year.  It really gives depth to the theatrical version of TTT and sets up a lot of stuff for ROTK (esp. that Faramir flashback scene).

     I got my copy of LOTR-TTT extended edition yesterday.  Just a minor observation sa packaging, medyo OC kasi ako pagdating sa packaging ng boxsets  DVDs e.  

     Di ba talaga pantay or aligned yung labels and line breaks dun sa spine ng box sets ng FOTR and TTT pag pinagtabi?  Medyo may mataas yung labels ng TTT and mas flat yung surface unlike sa FOTR medyo curvy or concave yung spine parang book at mas antique ang dating may artificial wear and tear pa yung print design.

I initially had difficulty with my Extended Edition in lifting the first disc from the hub.  But after that first time, okay na every time I take it off.  Sa first disc lang naman ako na-experience itong minor problem.

Katatapos lang namin kagabi ng 4th disc ng Extended Edition.  Okay naman lahat ng discs -- we did not encounter any problem while viewing the movie and appendices.

Enjoy your copy and hope na walang problema sa set mo!

Title: ROTK DVD - 5+ hrs?
Post by: torque on Dec 17, 2003 at 11:33 AM
a rumor from dvdtown.com

Peter Jackson recently attended his last premiere for the last chapter in the Lord of the Rings trilogy. Last stop was Copenhagen the capitol of Denmark. There he gave a very interesting interview to a Danish newspaper. He told that the first cut of Return of the King had a running time of four hours and fifty minutes. When asked why this was too long for the theaters but fit for DVD he answered.

"It is different with the DVD version. People watch it at home. They can lay on the couch or spread the experience over two-three nights. That is the amazing thing with DVD. It gives a whole new dynamic and I can assure you that the DVD version of Return of the King will be longer than 4 hours and 50 min." -- Note that this was translated into Danish by the newspaper and then back to English by us.

I wonder if this is true (anyone care to confirm?) and if so then this will be a great preview of the ROTK eXtended Edition DVD due in late 2004!

pre, take note of the running time of your screening and post it here.

Yes, some or all the advanced screenings here in the Philippines will have additional battle footage. (The ticket will indicate if the screening is the extended version.) Got myself a couple of tickets to this Saturday's extended screening. *excited*  ;D

i think this also happened sa two towers. some say na the advance screenings had some scenes which were not in the regular screening.

are the screenings in the states then all extended or all regular, since di naman uso advance screening dun?

what about the DVD theatrical version? is that the extended regular version or the cut-short version? (for sure, the extended ed DVDs aren't the extended screening cuts)

in effect, 3 cuts ng TTT and ROTK were/are going to be released, across all formats?

Oh, I didn't know that about TTT. Sayang, the TTT premiere I attended wasn't the extended cut. Anyway, I doubt 3 cuts of TTT and ROTK are going to be released on video. There are only 2 cuts of TTT out now (theatrical and extended), even if TTT did indeed have an extended advanced screening.

Don't quote me on this, though.  :)

the scenes that i found disturbing in the movie is with the hobbits. first when gandalf got mad at pippin for staring into the palantir...and had him separated from his "good" friend merry. notice the dialogue when they spoke when they were about to depart.

second, is when pippin sees merry almost unconcious in the fields of pellenor after the battle...they were about to kiss each other!

third, a scene near the end of the movie. frodo rescued from the lava pits of mount doom and waking up to see merry and pippin nect to him. then all of a sudden...sam walks in and was staring at frodo for quite some time.

then someone in the movie house suddenly shouted....KISS! KISS! the audience burst into laughter and it was laugh trip all over.

ooops...i think i've strayed away from the topic now. anyone know where i can get a TTT gift set dvd with the gollum figure? i need this badly, am giving it as a present this christmas to my wifey?

thanks a ton :)

Post by: arbitrary on Dec 21, 2003 at 02:04 PM
Yes, there was too strong a hobbit/hobbit vibe. Pippin and Faramir had a moment as well...

It seemed like there were gaps in the movie, such as when we leave the hobbits and Eowyn and her father on the battle, and then they're suddenly present in the end, at Aragorn's coronation. Can't wait for the EE DVD.  ;D For now, I must finish reading the books.  ;D

By the way, try the DVD Marketplace (http://www.pinoydvd.com/yabbse/index.php?board=6) if you're looking for the giftset.

     Just want to react to your observation.  I keep on hearing and reading about those supposed "homoerotic" undertones in LOTR kahit sa TTT there are moments like that specially with Legolas and Aragorn (those hands are hard to miss).  I know its hard to accept that, but sometimes it seems that way. LOL

     What the hell are those undertones for.  Hmmm... Pater Jackson should explain!

Hello guys....  for those people na medyo tumataas ang balahibo sa " male bonding" ng mga hobbits eh I think Pete Jackson was just trying to express what JRR Tolkien wrote.  Kung mababasa nyo sa libro ni Tolkien, eh ganun talaga ang mga scenes, especially with Sam and Frodo when they got to Mount Doom and when Sam first knew that Frodo was still alive....  Ganun lang siguro ang mga hobbits....hehehehe... ;D

Post by: greatbop on Dec 26, 2003 at 04:47 PM
here's my input on RoTK Theatrical:

I saw this movie for FREE nung December 17 sa Galleria. All you had to be was a GenTxt member, and you get a free pass (and Nonstop Black Icecream!)... As somebody who have read the books, the surprises were defintely not there anymore.



*************Start Spoiler:********************





My complaints:

The Hobbits did not get enough development, in my opinion. People still considered Merry and Pippen to be like Jar Jar Binks. Everytime they appear on screen people laughed. They even laughed when Pippen was swearing fealty to The Steward of Gondor (Denethor). WTF... What Pippen is doing is a Noble thing.


What was shown about Sam is NOTHING compared to the true hero that Sam is.

Mouth of Sauron got cut
Gandalf vs Witch King wasn't there.
Aragorn and Arwen did not wed. (Which makes those boring Arwen sequences from 1st two movies totally POINTLESS).








************End Spoiler:**************





Lots of minor quirks. Nonetheless, this still is a great movie. More than enough to make me forget how much I hate Galleria's speaker setup is (the fronts are ceiling mounted. and worse, they're so boxy that they distract you away from the screen). Peter Jackson has done a fantastic job with Tolkien's Book (lotr's supposed to be just 1 big book and not divided into 3)... The last moments of the Ring is almost the way i imagined it to be. This really is a movie that you cannot miss. It is an experience.

i really loved the scene when aragorn and all others bowed for the hobbits,with the "there and back again theme" totally blows me away.. plus the "for frodo" scene..the score and the scenes were magic! although wala sa soundtrack ung cue na yun,its the fellowship theme,with full choir in the background...really cant wait for the dvd. ;D ;D ;D

LoTR:TTT: SEE Disc 3 and 4 impression.

After getting my copy nung Christmas Day, (Dad finally flew back home from Vancouver)... I actually had my copy since the day it came out. pero it was a matter of 'when is my dad flying back?"

anyhoo

these past 2 days, pinapanood ko yung disc 3 and 4...

Parts i loved:

The Filming of Helm's Deep

The Creation of Gollum

Andy Serkis was originally supposed to just supply the voice. Until he showed everybody that Gollum cannot exist with out him.

It was agreed that the best way to animate Gollum was to use both Motion Caption and Computer Animation.


Howard Shore's Muscial scoring

Alan Lee's stories about armor and weapon designs.

How he actually brought a set of armor and swords to New Zealand... Or how they used to do sword fights in the parking lot...

Creation of Fangorn Forrest.
The forrest is made inside the studio.

Edoras:
The Golden Hall, the needle thatched houses... Took 3 months to build. 3 weeks to shoot, and they had to take the houses down afterwards.


Treebeard Animatronics. I originally thought that he was CGI.


As usual, Richard Taylor speaks like he's reciting his lines. But the elvish weapons and armors are so damned elegant. (Eventhough, the elves are not supposed to be in Helm's deep!)

He talks about Eomer and King Theoden's sword. Theoden's armour is actualy inscribed with little inscribed artwork that tells stories about Rohan History...

Philippa Boyens/Fran Walsh/ PJ/ Famamir's actor talked about the change of Faramir's character in this movie.

I still don't buy it, but i just accepted it because there is nothing you can do to make them change Faramir's character...



2003 MTV awards Gollum Acceptance Speech.

It was ROFLMAO funny is all I can say.


Overall all, this is just as good as last fotr's special features..

will be back with the TTT: Extended Cut review soon!
I just need to be able to find 4 free hours so i can finally watch it!!!

Yeah. I'm glad that PJ did not take the most important parts of the ending out- Frodo finish writing Bilbo's book. and the Gray Havens... Though Bilbo scared the $hit out of me. I know Bilbo has grown old. but i did not expect him to be that old. Would also be nice if they mention na Bilbo now owns the record for being the oldest Hobbit of all time.

More on the Breaking of the Fellowship would be nice rin. Or Sam inheritting bag End. Pero I did not expect Sam to get much screen time at the end. And I am pleasantly surprised.

Oh the best part... I think PJ captured the emotion of the Gray Havens from the book almost perfectly. to that i give him Kudos..

Yeah... umm i only found out about it from my Friend rin. It was only advertised on a website (dunno what url, even).. 1st 400 people who shows up get a movie pass.

i was 316 of 400!! 316 used to be a cool number for me. Cause of Stone Cold Steve Austin... Actually, i showed up with a friend's card muna eh. Tapos i found out na they were checking the names sa card. and asking an ID from you..

i said, "I will not f'in drive back to a heavy traffick'ed Edsa"... biglang na isip ko na why not register for GenTxt while in line?? hahahaha... So i got my passes and was all happy.

My friends were ahead of me... and naka psok na. and reserved me good seats... YEAH!!

I didn't like it much. I would of liked it more if PJ properly developed the hobbits.

Title: Re:The Lord Of The Rings DVDs
Post by: greatbop on Dec 27, 2003 at 09:57 PM
well i can only think of 2 places..

1st was Minas Tirith... as the camera goes around the streets, it was almost exactly as i imagined it to be. And i felt goosebumps there.

2nd was Grey Havens. PJ almost captured the sadness i felt the first time I read it..

other places, i was sort of cursing... cause of the PJ changes...

I hated the Dead Army (not the visuals, though)... i hated the fact that their ship was just stolen from Orcs. I so wanted to see "The Ship of The Dead." And the moment the Dead army stepped off the ship, it felt like yung Army ng Scorpion King from Mummy Returns.


Anyway... i just finished watching the SEE of TTT... will post my impression soon!!! here's a preview... i turned off my dvd player all smiling and happy!

Again, some drastic character changes from the book. Otherwise it was cool. Especially to hear the Gondor theme again. Truly reminded me of RoTK.

Box of Seasoning that fell from Sam's pocket

I first thought na, "what the.. so he had that box from Galadriel all along, why didn't he use it sa RoTK?" tapos later it was revealed na it only contains Salt. Disappointment, indeed.

The extra long ending:

I especially loved the scene where Merry and Pippen finds Saruman's "Stash"...

Aragorn's Ring.

Mention of Aragorn's Age.


This movie is like 3h and 45 mins long.. pero... i never felt bored at all. Maybe the part where Elrond is telling Arwen to leave middle earth.. pero... otherwise.. hinde eh. Compared sa FoTR: SEE, i got bored to atleast 4 parts there..


my score: ****/ **** truly recommended to fans of the movie...

I hated the Dead Army (not the visuals, though)... i hated the fact that their ship was just stolen from Orcs. I so wanted to see "The Ship of The Dead." And the moment the Dead army stepped off the ship, it felt like yung Army ng Scorpion King from Mummy Returns.


same here! i was kinda disapointed with the undead. it was not as i imagined them to be... oh well! the movie, collectively, makes up for it  :)

well, the undead army in the movie was waay better than the one in the game.  :) but you're right. they could've been better.

i think they should've shown more close up fighting of the undead army. sana meron sa extended edition.  :)

Got the TTT ext version form a friend in the US. Have you noticed that the color is a bit raw in comparison with FOTR extended version? The colors on FOTR are fuller. TTT seems un-enhanced.

The Los Angeles Film Critics Association presented their 2003 awards Monday night at the St. Regis Hotel in Century City. (These awards were announced January 7.) The Lord of the Rings: Return of the King won two awards: Best Production Design (Grant Major) and Best Director (Peter Jackson). Barrie Osborne accepted the award for Grant Major, who is in New Zealand working on King Kong, reading from an email from Major. At one point Osborne said "and then he thanks me, but I'll skip that," which got him heckled by Peter Jackson.

Peter Jackson accepted his own award. He thanked, among others, Fran Walsh, also in attendance. He explained that he had met Walsh 18 years ago when she was recommended to him as someone who was good with scripts. At the time, Jackson was working on Bad Taste, which had no script, so he asked her to paint part of a set. She was not very good at that, he said, but he discovered she was indeed good with scripts.

In a conversation with Ringer Spy Nerdanel after dinner, Jackson said he had just finished editing the Extended Edition of RotK and that it was 4 hours and 10 minutes 8)

I think that was the unedited rough cut he put together before cutting the theatrical version. He probably was able to make it tighter when he clean-edited the entire thing for this extended DVD, removing extraneous transitions, repetitive dialogue, etc.

Its official!

11 Oscar nominee "Return of the King" will arrive in a Extended cut on DVD this November. Director Peter Jackson has just finished the edit and it will have a total runtime of four hours and ten minutes.

He also revealed in an interview with USA TODAY that the theatrical version will arrive on DVD in May or June. Two months earlier than the first two movies.  ;D

Malamang nga Midnight Blue yung next design.  It makes sense because the first was Green, second was Red (brown is actually Dark-Flat Red) and the third should be Blue it would complete the primary colors then.  

My second bet is it would be yellowish in shade.  Exciting ito ganda tingnan pag complete na yun tatlong Platinum Extended edition boxes parang 3 volumes ng libro with matching bookends pa.

latest news:

There are scenes that were cut from the finished film. Will we see them on DVD?



PJ:"We have an hour of footage we shot for "Return of the King" that we didn't put in the movie. I'm going to work on an extended DVD version, though I don't think all of that will make it in because the pacing would be really weird. But there's some good stuff that's not in the book. We did a funny scene between Gimli and Legolas having a drinking competition which I really quite liked, but we felt [it was too comedic] at a point when we wanted to set up the tension of the story. And there's a sequence of Sam and Frodo disguised as orcs where they end up in the orc army for a while."  8)

If you've played the ROTK game, after you've beat the last level and after Gandalf says 'My work is now finished. The work of others, is about to begin.' then the words LORD OF THE RINGS TRILOGY: COMING 2004 appear. Could be a game or a marathon screening of all 3 extended cuts, it wasn't specified.

from www.dvddebate.com:

Thanks to Ngylax, we have managed to get hold of what looks to be the official art work and contents listing for EIV's Region 2 release of Lord Of The Rings Return Of The King.

The movie will be presented with an anamorphic widescreen transfer and DD5.1EX English audio. The movie will also boast English subtitles.

Extra features will incude:

Revealing The Secrets Behind The Production Of An Epic Adventure indepth program.
A Final Look At Middle-earth & The War Of The Rings: 6 lordoftherings.net featurettes
Lord Of The Rings Trilogy Outtakes & Bloopers
Original Theatrical Trailer & TV Spots
"Into The West" Annie Lennox music video
Electronic Arts' Lord Of The Rings Trilogy video game preview
An Inside Look At The Special Edition DVD Edition Of Lord Of The Rings: Return Of The King.

Of course this could be a very clever "mock-up", but until anything else emerges we'll have to wait and see.

This set is pencilled in for a May 24th release date at the moment; read on for a look at the UK Region 2 cover art.

the excitement of owning LOTR: ROTK on DVD has significantly increased after it scored an unprecedented sweep at the just concluded 76th Academy Awards, setting an Oscar record by winning ALL 11 awards for which it had been nominated, including Best Picture of the year.

one word: VINDICATED!!! after FOTR and TTT were snubbed in the previous oscars, its only fitting that ROTK "sweeps" the competition this time around.  :D

"believe! all will be well."

and as for the dvds, i won't be surprised if the street date for the EE is moved. me here expect the acceptance speeches to be in the EE release.

FROM IGN:

Lots of happenings surrounding The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King since its Oscar sweep. For starters, it will be returning (sorry) to more than 2,000 theaters next weekend for one last attempt to boost the box office take, which already stands at $364.1 million domestically.


Now for the bigger news. There was a party thrown by TheOneRing.net and the man of the hour Peter Jackson was there. The Digital Bits was the first to carry this blurb regarding the extended edition and a high-definition transfer of the movies.

"I'm sure most of you have heard me blabbing off in the past few weeks but we've just finished the extended cut of the DVD. I finished the edit before I came over here - these poor bastards at Weta have got another 350 effects shots to do! They're well on the way. Elijah's seen the extended cut. New Line have announced some box set that's supposed to be coming out which I didn't know anything about. When I've done King Kong I'd like to do a proper box set and we've got a whole bunch of material - not of the movie but we've got a whole lot of bloopers out there! When King Kong's out the way I'd like to do a really high definition version with the best possible picture quality."

Now, this is interesting because New Line hasn't announced any box set. Last week we had a story that first ran on DVDAnswers, a U.K.-based site, of an upcoming toy faire in Europe where New Line made mention of a LotR box set for 2005. But at this point we haven't heard any word. New Line has an announcement planned for Monday regarding RotK, and who knows, we may get more information on a box set.

His timing on a high definition transfer for the films would be perfect. King Kong isn't due until 2005, so figure with post-filming work, such as DVD prep, by the time he can turn his sights on a high-def LotR release it would be 2006, which is when HD-DVD should be hitting the market. Now that would be the tail wagging the dog for HD-DVD.

Now for the not so good news. The rumor mill regarding the RotK DVD releases has been the two-disc release in May and the extended edition around August. Well, scratch that. Here's a Jackson comment from the OneRing party regarding a prank played on Elijah Wood.

"…It's just something that we are going to put on the DVD in November for the extended Return of the King…"

So it looks like no early release for RotK.

Star Wars got wider appeal than ROTK.  Pati mga gurang bibili ng Star Wars and the younger audience will also love to see the sequel to Episode 1-3.

But as I have said mas excited talaga ako sa ROTK.  You can't compare the two naman being from different genre.

they should include the speeches as this is a historic moment

IMHO, they should do away with the speeches. If they choose to show them, it can send an "arrogant" message to those not necessarily fans of the movies and books, that they won all of it. Are they really that desperate for the attention?

Showing the speeches would seem that they want to shove down in everyone's throats, the fact that they did it.

I know PJ and co. are better than that. I think they won't do such an egoistic and self-glorifying thing.

Don't you think it would be better if those who don't know about it learn for themselves that ROTK was a big winner then?

Agree. I am a big fan of the movies so I want the speeches (at the very least yung Oscar at Golden Globe Awards) included in the Extended Edition.

That's a very big generalization my friend. Just a while ago, someone said in another forum that he would buy the EE's not because he is a fan. Actually, he claims NOT to be a fan of the movies, but the reason he is buying is that he is an avid DVD collector and that the DVDs are so well made.

And no, non-fans definitely know what easter eggs are. I think it's unfair to underestimate them.

My point is, even non-fans would come across these EE DVDs. And I think including every award speech may not be the best way of gaining more fans in them.

If they would include easter eggs, they should just consider including outtakes or bloopers. That'll be more fun!

well if HE's a DVD collector, and he buys the EE. then i think he realizes that the EEs are made for Fans of the Film. If he doesn't mind sitting thru scenes that doesn't move the story forward in anyway- like Theodred Burial Scene or Eowyn figuring out that Aragorn has a long life, i don't think he'll mind watching peter Jackson thanking people.

You know what, I am actually a very huge fan of the films, but I think I'll just get annoyed with that idea.

Come to think of it, being a fan or not doesn't remove the possibility of someone getting annoyed if they included the speeches.

I know it's ok for them to thank whom they want to thank. But what I don't want is for those speeches to have a negative effect on some people. These speeches may be perceived by others as an overly long self-indulging "Hey-we-won-everything-and-you-should-know-that" tact.

Some people might get annoyed at the filmmakers for this. Putting the speeches on the DVD would seem like forcing people to clap to their own success.

As a fan myself, I believe that this is NOT a good way of attracting more fans to the franchise. It's better for us to
let them discover for themselves the true value of the movie and not "possibly" ruin their experience by proclaiming they won so many awards that they have the speeches to prove it.

Just my 2 cents.
Title: Re:The Lord Of The Rings DVDs
Post by: Wiggum on Mar 05, 2004 at 06:58 PM
Whatever they put in there (speeches, bloopers), I'm going to buy it!  ;D  

But if New Line and Peter Jackson decide to include the Oscars/Golden Globe speeches in the DVD set, don't they have to pay the Oscars/Golden Globe people royalties or some kind of fee?  I think they'll probably just spice up the packaging/inserts with a list of the Oscars/Golden Globe awards won and critics' testimonials.  

Anyway, maybe we'll know on March 8 what's in store for the EE (via the specs of the theatrical DVD version).  Maybe the Sneak Peek of the ROTK EE that's on the Theatrical DVD will give us more info.

Personally, i stayed up ALL NIGHT just to see Peter Jackson's Acceptance Speech nung Academy (since i got tired of waiting for it nun morniing telecast ng ch 9). That was the only reason i watched the Oscars..

Plus PJ's acceptance speech is one of the MOST HUMBLE speeches i have ever seen.

Plus if they put it as an Easter, only the more 'diehard' fans would access it diba?

I mean, Andy Serkis's speech is on the TTT's SEE, I don't hear anybody complaining about it..

So did I. Actually, I cannot tell you how very proud I am of them. But I don't think the Oscar speeches have this great "replay value" enough to earn its place on the DVDs. They were just too serious (not that they were supposed to be funny) Just imagine watching this again and again:
Quote
Peter Jackson:
Just waiting for Fran to get her Oscar. There we go. This is just unbelievable. I'm so honored, touched and relieved that the Academy and the members of the Academy that have supported us have seen past the trolls and the wizards and the hobbits and are now recognizing fantasy this year. Fantasy is an f-word that hopefully the five second delay won't do anything with. I just want to say a very few quick words especially to the people of New Zealand and the government of New Zealand and the city councils and everybody who supported us the length and breadth of the country. Billy Crystal is welcome to come and make a film in New Zealand any time he wants. A special thanks to Peter Nelson and Ken Kamins, who were with me right from the days of "Bad Taste," and "Meet the Feebles" which were wisely overlooked by the Academy at that time. And I especially want to pay tribute to our wonderful producer, Barrie Osborne. And I'd please like him to say a few words.

Barrie Osborne:
It's a great honor to be here. I started out in the business 35 years ago getting people coffee. And I wonder if the fact that I dated Billy Crystal's cousin so many years ago has anything to do with this. But it is really a great pleasure to be in such great company. Uh-oh, I'm in trouble now. To be nominated with these four other great films and after these many years to receive this award is really a thrill for all of us and we all thank the Academy. It's really a tribute to the talents of all the people both in front of the camera and behind the camera that we win this award. I want to thank, in particular, my partner Carol, my beautiful daughter Danielle and my 87-year-old dad who's out there in the back somewhere here to celebrate this with us. I want to thank, also, J.R.R. Tolkien and also the fans that supported us on this journey. And of course, Bob Shaye and Michael Lynne whose courageous venture allowed us to make this film and their support throughout the journey, and Mark Ordesky, who worked alongside of us throughout and became a great film -- a great friend, sorry. And of course to Peter Jackson, who was never satisfied with 100%. But by his example of pushing for 110%, he inspired all of us to do our utmost to make these films and bring them to the screen. And finally, to Weta, who is in Chicago, in Wellington, New Zealand, and to the production team who are in the Port Nicholson Yacht Club, it's time to celebrate.

I don't know about you guys, but I am not intending to see these again and again. I couldn't care less who these people in some yacht club he wants to celebrate with. For me it's just a waste of space to add these speeches. With the space, they could instead put more "easter eggs" that has more replay value than these boring speeches.

On the other hand, I think Gollum's MTV award speech had this great "replay value." All the profanity, all the curses, including the mockery towards Dobby earned its place to be an easter egg in the DVD.

Moreover, if they choose to include the speeches, I will always think that it is just a desperate ploy to prove they won the awards. Totally unnecessary really. I'd rather have more of the blooper reel. Now that's more fun. Now that has more replay value.

I am resting my case. If they put the speeches, then good for you. But it doesn't mean that I won't buy the DVDs. There are still many reasons I will buy them.
I'll still buy them because I love the series. I'll still buy them for quality of the work done on the films. But the speeches are definitely not one of those reasons.

that's good to hear.  :) the speeches are just bonuses. they shouldn't be the basis for anyone's decision on buying (or not buying) the DVD.

but for me, adding the speeches isn't such a bad thing. sure it could come of as a bit "arrogant" but then, even adding the caption "Winner of 11 Oscars," which i'm sure they'll add on at least the theatrical release, could be seen as being arrogant as well. besides, they deserve it (IMHO). why not let them have their moment in the spot light. it shouldn't take that much space in the DVD anyway (if ever, they might just put in pete jackson's speeches anyway, not all, pero kung kaya, why not?  ;))

my guess is, they might add it to a "the journey ends" section. if you guys remember that the appendices on both extended editions have some footage of the premieres and stuff ("the road goes on" on FOTR, i don't remember the one on TT though...).  they might just put just some excerpts (and not the whole) of the speeches there.

just my thoughts on the matter. the bottomline is, whatever happens, we'll still buy the DVDs! ;D

I feel the same way.  I don't find it arrogant to include the speeches in the DVDs.  I hope they also include the opening video of Oscars where Billy Crytal spoofed the LOTR - Return of the King and turn it into Return of the Host.

Including the acceptance speeches is a great way to cap and end the saga.

WITH A RECORD BREAKING ACADEMY AWARDS® SWEEP THE LORD OF THE RINGS: THE RETURN OF THE KING MAKES ITS DVD DEBUT ON MAY 25

Two-Disc Theatrical Version of the Award-Winning Conclusion to THE LORD OF THE RINGS Trilogy Takes Home Video Bow

Prior to the Planned Holiday 2004 Release of Special Extended Edition

LOS ANGELES, CA (March 8, 2004) – The King makes his return in filmmaker Peter Jackson’s stunning conclusion to The Lord of the Rings Trilogy, arriving on DVD and VHS on May 25, 2004. The home video debut of The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King will follow the groundbreaking success of the multi-tiered platform releases of both The Fellowship of the Ring and The Two Towers, and will be available on a two-disc DVD and VHS for $29.95 and $24.97, respectively. A special extended edition of The Return of the King will follow as planned in time for the holidays.

Based on J.R.R. Tolkien’s epic adventure of good versus evil, The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King will be released separately in both widescreen and fullscreen versions, each including a second disc offering hours of additional content. Disc Two will feature behind-the-scenes specials, featurettes, theatrical trailers, TV spots, The Lord of the Rings Trilogy supertrailer, a preview of the upcoming The Lord of the Rings based video game from Electronic Arts and a link to exclusive online content about the motion picture trilogy.

“The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King is the crowning glory of a truly unparalleled filmmaking achievement,” said Stephen Einhorn, president and chief operating officer of New Line Home Entertainment. “The two-DVD edition includes the award-winning theatrical epic as well as hours of behind-the-scenes bonus materials.”

With current domestic and worldwide box office receipts at more than $364.1 million and $1 billion and rising, The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King is the most successful box office film of the trilogy. Arriving on 7,205 North American screens and 7,403 screens in 28 territories internationally on December 17, 2003, The Return of the King set numerous box office records, achieving the all-time biggest openings in the United Kingdom, Austria, Germany, Scandinavia, Spain, Switzerland and New Zealand. A global phenomenon, The Return of the King smashed the international five-day box office record, earning more than $250 million during its opening weekend. The film, moreover, currently ranks as the second highest-grossing worldwide theatrical release of all time, becoming the second film ever to earn more than $1 billion and the first to hit this mark in only ten weeks.

Domestically, The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King set box office records for the biggest December opening ($72.6 million, Friday-Sunday) and the highest Wednesday opening ($34.5 million) of all time. In addition, it took in $100 million in just four days, $200 million in 11 days and broke the $300 million barrier in just 24 days. The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King currently ranks sixth on the list of all-time biggest domestic motion picture box office hits.

After appearing on over 270 national critics’ year-end top ten lists –occupying the number one spot on nearly 100 of them, including Time, Entertainment Weekly, The Wall Street Journal and New York Daily News – The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King swept the 76th Annual Academy Awards®, winning every one of the 11 categories in which it was nominated:

- Director, Peter Jackson

- Adapted Screenplay, Fran Walsh, Philippa Boyens and Peter Jackson

The home video debut of The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King will follow the groundbreaking success of the multi-tiered platform releases of both The Fellowship of the Ring and The Two Towers, and will be available on a two-disc DVD and VHS for $29.95 and $24.97, respectively. A special extended edition of The Return of the King will follow as planned in time for the holidays.

*Sigh* Guess my LOTR extended edition marathon will have to wait until December.  ::)

i think what the line "supertrailer for Lotr TRILOGY" means is the Trilogy Trailer which is included in the LOTR-ROTK Limited Edition CD soundtrack (with free DVD of course). Bought this in CDWOW. Kaso in the Supplementary DVD, Dolby Prologic lang ang audio. Hope they could remaster this for the new DVD. Haba ng trailer though...

I think the real reason is yung date of release- May 25. which means, Howard shore is just starting to record his newly compossed Scores. and Weta's just adding their extra effects shots.

New Line is also beginning work on a trilogy box set, which the studio hopes to release in two to three years for those who prefer to buy all the films at once; however, it is unlikely the set will include any new material.

"We don't want to create any buyer's remorse," explains Lasorsa, who adds that the upcoming King release will include a special sleeve that can accommodate all three films, so fans can make their own box sets


YEAH BABY!!

Here's a bit I pulled off from www.council-of-elrond.com/forums. Kaya pala alang ROTK EE DVD preview on the theatrical ROTK DVD; seems PJ and co. are not in a hurry to release the Extended Edition so soon. Considering that he and the Weta guys are in pre-production for King Kong, it looks like they're either too busy or are trying to beef up the upcoming Extended Edition DVD release of ROTK. Kinda depressing, really, dahil sobrang tagaaaaaal!!! ;D

For the past two years, New Line has released special Extended Edition DVDs of the first two theatrical films in November, three months after the first DVD release of each installment and just a few weeks before the next theatrical premiere.

The Extended Edition usually encompasses four discs and includes a new cut of the movie with nearly an hour of extra scenes plus hours of bonus features. Director Peter Jackson has said that the extended cut of Return of the King will run much more than four hours.

Einhorn said there absolutely will be a longer gap between the DVD of the theatrical edition and the Extended Edition of King because the longer cut of the movie itself, which Jackson is still working on, and the extensive bonus features will not be completed in time for a release prior to this fall.

The two-disc edition of the movie being released May 25 will be available in separate widescreen and fullscreen versions of the theatrical release, each of which will include a second disc of bonus features, including behind-the-scenes specials and featurettes, promotional trailers for all home video incarnations of the three Lord of the Rings movies, a preview of the upcoming Lord of the Rings videogame from Electronic Arts and theatrical trailers and TV spots.

There will be no sneak peeks of the bonus features and extra scenes on the Extended Edition as has been the pattern the past two years since that material cannot be prepared in time for the much earlier release of the first DVD."

"Fans will have to wait a little longer for a street date for the extended version, which is expected to run four hours and 10 minutes to four hours and 15 minutes for the feature alone. Although New Line executives would like to have it in stores for the holidays, Lasorsa said it’s possible the set might not arrive until the first quarter of 2005 as the studio works to make sure the set has compelling value for consumers. As with previous segments, the extended set will have bonus materials distinct from those on the theatrical cut."

Thanks for the info.  Makes sense.  The FOTR and TTT 2-disc sets were released nga pala in August 2002 and 2003 (I think) - much nearer to the November release dates of their respective EEs.  Yeah, it is kinda depressing -- at least a 6-month gap in between the releases of the ROTK 2-disc set and the EE.. But knowing PJ, I'm sure it'll be worth the wait!

UPDATE: May 25th will also see a box containing the three movies in their theatrical form. It will be the same versions as those already released and the box will retail at $89.98. 8)

The press release hints that the extended version will follow as planned in time for the holiday season. Which means that a November release is likely as with the first two movies of the trilogy for the extended cut.

ROTK Extended Edition DVD Spoilers

(http://home.datacomm.ch/betaversion/imagesrotk/Cover4.jpg)

ROTK Extended Edition DVD Spoilers translated by Joana Cotar and Marc B. Lee.

From Datacomm.ch (Full article here (http://home.datacomm.ch/betaversion/Return_of_the_king_SEE_DVD.htm)). Note: some of this is purely speculation.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

The LOTR Special Extended Edition will be released in November (as per PJ) and will have an additional length between 40 and 60 min. The official color of the DVD box is blue.

The cinema version of the movie will be released in July, not August, so there is a possibility that SEE will be released earlier than November - some online stores even say that they will have the cinema version in May…

The SEE DVD will include 350 new Effect-Shots, much more than the other SEE DVDs.

The SEE DVD production is nearly complete; they are just adding music and some more effects.

Add -ons (chronological):

The borderline:
A beautiful scene, before the two hobbits, guided by Gollum, walk on… The hobbits catch sight of a huge monument and statues. Up to this scene the sky wasn't edit digitally… from now on it's getting darker and darker … a cursed environment. In this scene you see the title of the movie "The Return of the King"

Saruman's disempowerment:
Saruman's last dialog with Gandalf, Theoden and the others will only be seen on the SEE. Saruman is going to appear on the balcony, trying to bewitch the fellowship one last time by talking to them. But Gandalf breaks Saruman's wand. After that Wormtongue and Saruman appear on the roof of the Orthanc. Saruman treats his servant like a dog and threatens him with a knife. But Wormtongue fights back, grabs the knife and throws Saruman from the Orthanc. His own weapons pierce Saruman and Legolas kills Wormtongue with one of his arrows.

Rumour: Reportedly the finding of the Palantir will be changed a little bit. Wormtongue might throw it from the roof of the Orthanc, aiming at Saruman. I don't think they will change and cut this scene. After Gandalf gets the Palantir from Pippin he turns around - and that's it. I think that's the moment when Saruman will appear on the balcony. But how Saruman really dies is not 100% sure yet. Rumours say they filmed different death scenes, so that they don't give away which one they use. Another possibility: Saruman simply falls into the water. You can tell from the GBA-Screens that Grima killed Theoden's son by poisoning him.

Edoras: Merry's vow of fidelity:
During the whole movie Merry serves the King, Theoden. But why? Like it was shown in the first teaser of the trilogy: the king dubs Merry knight of Rohan. Merry offers his services and Theoden accepts and hands him a sword.

Dialogue:

"I offer you my service, King Theoden" Merry is given a knighthood.

Edoras: Dialogue between Eowyn and Eomer concerning Merry:
Like we have seen in the cinema version, Eomer can't believe that Marry is able to take part in a battle. There will be a typical brother-sister scene on the SEE, concerning this topic. The existence of such a scene is confirmed by a "making off video", because Peter Jackson mentions a "Brother and Sister" moment.

Edoras: A "drinking game" during the celebration:
After the success in Isengard, Aragorn, Merry, Gimli, Theoden and the others go to Edoras. There will be some new elements in the scene were both hobbits dance on the table while Gandalf talks to Aragorn about Frodo... the SEE will show another funny scene (which isn't in the book) . Legolas and Gimli play a drinking game...
Dialogue:

Legolas: "So, it's a drinking game?"

Laughing and screaming of the others

Legolas: "What exactly is the point of it?"

Gimli: "Last one standing wins."

Add-on in Edoras: Aragorn & Eowyn:
It's likely that this scene focuses again on Eowyn's anxiety not being able to attend the battle. Officially Aragorn comforts Eowyn, but now it is said, that he only keeps company with her.

Edoras: Extended discussion:
In Edoras Aragorn and Gandalf talk about their proceeding. There will be more dialogues than in the cinema version.

Dialogue:

Gandalf:  "If the ring is destroyed, Sauron will fall and his fall will be so low that none will see his arising ever again… but if Sauron regains the ring, his victory will be swift and complete. Things are now in motion that cannot be undone. Sauron has looked into the face of young Peregrin Took and mistaken him for the Ringbearer".  
Aragorn:  "He has gone unchallenged long enough."

Edoras: Changed Farewell
Merry says good bye to Pippin, who seems to be very sad. Merry bolsters Pippin and tells him that they will see each other in the shire. As far as I know, a new scene replaced this one. We won't see this dialogue on the SEE and we won't hear the sentence "We shall see the Shire again."

Edoras: Extended Farewell:
After Gandalf and Pippin left, Aragorn tells Merry, that Pippin will only be save at Minas Tirith, because Saruman thinks he is the ring bearer. That's why Gandalf has to bring him away. In the cinema version, Aragorn doesn't say anything. Before Pippin leaves Edoras, Aragorn gives him back his elven leaf brooch.

Mirror-inverted ride to Gondor:
Gandalf and Pippin ride for 3 days, but the journey is over soon. To soon... Gandalf rides from right to left. But on the RotK- preview he rides from left to right - through the forest and the sky seems to be darker -- it might be possible that the journey is longer on the SEE version - if it's not a joke from the filmmakers and they simply like showing mirror inverted scenes in the trailer.

Extended Dialogue between Eowyn and Aragorn:
While walking to his horse Aragorn asks Eowyn if she is going to ride as well. She tells him something about old customs, how the women say good bye to their men, but he discovers her sword. This scene follows exactly the sequence I just described.

 
Add-ons in Rivendell:
The scenes between Arwen and Elrond in Rivendell will be longer. As seen on the trailer, Elrond tells his daughter that he is not able to protect her anymore. There is another scene where Arwen falls into her fathers’ arms. Is there a connection between this and the paths of dead she discovers in her book? Arwen will also say some more words in the language of the elves.

Dialogue:

Elrond to Arwen on the bridge: "You have given away your life’s grace. I cannot protect you anymore"

These two dialogues are not in the cinema version: Arwen says: "Give him the sword of the King"
Elrond: "The enemy will never let Aragorn come to the throne of Gondor."

Camp: Altered Farewell:
In the cinema version Eowyn asks Aragorn if she knows why she is here. He tells her that he doesn't feel the same for her and then she disappears. Now these scenes show Aragorn how he touches Eowyn. I don't know if they will add this scene or if it was originally filmed like that...

Extended Paths of the dead:
There is supposed to be a corridor in the cave, full of skulls and bones on the floor and left and right in the walls. At one point Aragorn, Gimli and Legolas will be threatened by an avalanche of skulls. After leaving the cage there has to happen something else, because Aragorn’s sword looks bloody. Legolas is also supposed to have some more sentences.

Legolas will kill Peter Jackson, who supposed to have a cameo appearance as a corsair captain.
In the cinema version you only see a little bit of the paths of the dead, no skulls, no altars, no bloody sword, no corsair ships. I am sure they will be shown here, because Gandalf talks about them twice.

The Corsair Ships
Gandalf talks about them twice, and they are also seen twice: In Edoras Gandalf asks Aragorn to take another way and take the black ships and later, in Minas Tirith, he talks to Pippin about the warlock and mentions mercenary soldiers and the ships.

After the paths of the dead Gimli, Legolas and Aragorn board the ships and conquer the corsairs. But which scenes do we see on these two pictures? Which scenes will be shown on the SEE? Do we see how they board the ships? Yes, but without the ghosts, because they will appear later, as a surprise, on in the Pelennor Fields.
Title: Re:The Lord Of The Rings DVDs
Post by: MEM on Mar 12, 2004 at 06:24 PM
cont...

Minas Tirith: Original scene replaced?
This scene isn't in the movie. I think this scene was deleted and another one was shown instead. Gandalf and Pippin are in their quarters and they talk about the warlock, the war and the chances Frodo and Sam have.

Minas Tirith: Denethor’s madness & Palantir:
Denethor knows more than he should know. He knows about Aragorn and the forthcoming attack and he has given up hope. He got his information from a Palantir. One knight also says that Denethor has foreseen this attack. Gandalf is supposed to say that Aragorn will take Denethor's place and there is nothing he can do about it. Denethor calls Gandalf a traitor.

Unfortunately, John Noble (Denethor) said in an interview that these scenes weren't shot, however there is the possibility that we will see a scene where the Palantir is mentioned.

Minas Tirith: Longer dialogue between Faramir and Denethor:
Faramir is supposed to tell his father that he did let Frodo and Sam escape (with the ring) on purpose, breaking his father's rules.

While Pippin talks to Denethor, Faramir stands at his side. Shortly after that Denethir announces that those who break the rules have to be punished. A hint that Faramir really told him about the hobbits? A script section asserts that there will be a flashback, where Faramir tells his father about Boromirs death and hands him the broken horn. In another scene Pippin is going to get an armor from Faramir.

The second photo is a scene where we don't know if it shows the talk with Gandalf or if it is a totally new scene.  

Orc Tower: Add-on
We might see a scene where an Orc is able to flee from the tower (you see this Orc in the Video Game holding Frodo’s Mithril chain mail) There are also some scenes where Orcs and Uruks fight with each other because of this alb.

Siege of Minas Tirith: Extended battle scenes
In the cinema version they didn't show how the enemy built up its war machinery. They also don't show how the White City is conquered. The enemy tries to destroy the gates with small battering rams. These weren't shown in the movie, but they will be on the SEE DVD. Soldiers of Gondor try to prevent this with the help of their arrows. They won't show how they draw their bows, but we will see how they shoot their arrows.
 


Siege of Minas Tirith: Gandalf vs. Witchking
In the movie the witchking said that he would fight the White Wizard … who suddenly doesn't have his wand anymore….

Pippin finally found Gandalf and managed to calm down the mad Denethor. The wizard carries his wand. He puts Pippin on the back of his horse - but when he reaches Denethor he doesn't have his wand anymore and looks like he has just taken part in a fight. In between those scenes it is likely that they meet the Witchking and Gandalf loses the fight, but the Witchking is distracted by something - that's why Gandalf and Pippin are able to flee… he might be distracted by the troops of Rohan (he probably hears the horns) or by something else … who knows… it is likely that he wouldn't stay on his beast during the fight and that Gandalf wouldn't fight on the back of his horse. The scene was filmed with a normal Nazgul first and later with the Witchking.

Battle on the Pelennor Fields: extended battle scenes:
It is said that we will see more digital effects on the SEE DVD, also the sky is supposed to be darkened. There are different possibilities what we will see during these battle scenes: it's possible that we will see more of the Eastlings, a longer dialogue between Eowyn and the Witchking, a scene where Argorn wins the fight against Orc leader and Gimli hits him with his axe. Orcs are also supposed to fight on the dead Olifants and after Theoden's death Eowyn will fight some more Orcs, protecting Pippin, who will find Merry later on.

Pelennor-Fields: Locating Eowyn and Merry
Eowyn was brave, defeated the witchking and was injured. We didn't see what happened afterwards. But somehow they must have found her, mourned and acclaimed her. On this picture we see how Eomer finds his sister on the battlefield.

When Pippin finds Merry on the Pelennor, he tucks him in and that's it … but it looks like Merry's injuries are worse, probably because of his attack on the witchking.

Pelennor-Fields: After the battle
In the cinema we didn't see how the wounded soldiers were saved and we didn't see Theoden’s last journey. A lot of people think that this photo is part of the scene where the dead king is brought back to Minas Tirith. It might also show obsequies later on. Or is it simply a battle scene?

Minas Tirith: After the battle
After the battle on the fields Aragorn is the only one who can help the wounded Faramir, Eowyn and Merry and save their lives. Only the healing hands of the king can save them. Afterwards Faramir and Eowyn get closer.

Minas Tirith: Aragorn as king
After healing Faramir, Eowyn and Merry, Aragorn is already accepted as king. After that he takes up his role as king and only during the next day they discuss the next proceedings. Gandalf at the meeting in Minas Tirith:  "Either Frodo destroys the ring, or we face Sauron’s victory."

Minas Tirith: Aragorn looks into the Palantir
After some discussions Aragorn decides to look into the Palantir, to show Sauron that Isildur's heir is found. King Elessar could bring together mankind. That's what Sauron fears and that's what should distract him from Frodo and Sam. Sauron and his army wait for Elessar at the gate….

To the Black Gate:
This journey wasn't over in 5 minutes … So I think we will see some additional scenes on the SEE DVD.

At the Black Gate: Sauron's Mouth
One of the most dreadful myrmidon in the book. A scene a lot of book fans hoped to see in the movie: cruel, full of emotions, and ingenious. The Mouth Saurons, Saurons negotiator. There is a slight chance that we see this horrible creature on the SEE DVD. Probably in the last fight with Aragorn. Some people say you can see Frodo’s Mithril chain mail lying on the floor in the cinema version.. another hint, that we might see such a scene…

Theory1:

The Mouth of Sauron shows this chain mail to Gandalf and Aragorn, as a proof, that Frodo is dead. After that we will see a long dialogue between Gandalf, Aragorn and Saurons Mouth.. after that the black rider disappears and the Black Gate is opened, the enemy starts to march. We will see some scenes of Frodo and Sam before we return to the Black Gate, where the enemies surround Aragron and his troops. The Mouth of Sauron reappears and starts an attack.. Aragorn fights against him and wins but loses his horse to the Eastlings. Another cut to Sam, this time he fights against Gollum and tells him to beat it. Back at the Black Gate the Eastlings are beaten. Aragorn forms up his troops and then we hear the famous sentence: "For Frodo!"

Theory2:

Nobody knows if this is correct, because you don't see the body of Saurons Mouth, Aragorn’s dead horse or the bodies of the Eastlings … besides when Aragorn and his troops approach the Black Gate, his sword is in his scabbard. As he rides back, his bloody sword is in his hand and his face is full of mud. A hint that Saurons Mouth is killed at the beginning and the fact of the missing horses is just a blooper? However the book "Lord of the rings - Weapons and Warfare" hints at Saurons Mouth death (or defeat).

However, it's pretty sure that we will see some enhancements here. Ex. in a making off video you see that Gandalf is talking to Aragorn before they ride towards the Black Gate: "We are being watched". It's possible that is a scene from the SEE DVD … or that we won't see this at all?
 

At the Black Gate: The new formation
If theory No. 1 is correct, Aragorn forms up his troops at the Black Gate. These pictures show how he does it.

At the Black Gate: Pippin holds Merry
But why? Perhaps this picture shows Merry after he was brought back to Minas Tirith and Pippin is helping him. It can't be a scene from the Pelennor fields, because the hobbits don't wear their helmets in that battle. There are rumours that this photo is from the battle at the Black Gate….. One theory says that Merry breaks down when he hears that Frodo is dead. But this is not possible … there are not so many people in the background during that scene… is Merry wounded?

At the Black Gate: Changed battle?
In the cinema version Aragorn kills the troll, however it is said that in another scene it's Pippin who kills him (like in the book) Perhaps we see this scene on the DVD, who knows? In the video game you see, that Legolas save Gimli's life again… possible that we see that as well on the DVD.

Mordor: Add-ons
After Frodo’s pretended death we will see some more things. Sam is going to hold Stich, both hobbits will take off their armors….and Sam leaves behind his pans. At the end both hobbits meet an Orc army, but because they don't have the armors anymore they are not recognized.

Minas Tirith: Marriages and the new tree
Gandalf shows Pippin the tree in Minas Tirith who starts to bloom again. And we might see the wedding between Arwen and Aragorn and Faramir and Eowyn - I don't believe it - however both scenes were filmed. We might also see how Eomer is crowned king of Rohan. Only after that scene the characters will say good bye to each other.

End: Epilogue
Galadriel is supposed to hold an epilogue at the end, in which she explains what happens to the characters, because they don't want to show all the scenes in the movie… it's possible, because she also holds an epilogue at the beginning of the first movie.

 
Back in the Shire:
I am sure we will see more scenes when the hobbits return to the Shire …. because New Line Cinema wanted to keep these photos secret and the scene isn't in the cinema version. Perhaps we get to know why Frodo decides to leave the Shire and sail away with the ring bearers.  

In general: more brutality … like we’ve seen in the SEE versions of FotR and TTT.

Excited na talaga ako sa SEE of ROTK.  I hope it does come earlier.

An ending epilogue by Galadriel will make a better ending and will tie-up the trilogy together, the trilogy was opened by an epilogue afterall.

Post by: greatbop on Mar 13, 2004 at 04:56 PM
galadriel's powers have all but dimished by then. ie, she's pretty much useless.

Frodo's still the better one for the job. The Lord Of The Rings is about The Ring Bearer. As the Bearer who went thru the most hardships, it's only right that he narrates the ending.

It's the end of his journey too.

Galadriel just narrated the history of the ring- nothing more. The Trilogy really started when Frodo was under the tree, btw.

cont...

In the cinema version Aragorn kills the troll, however it is said that in another scene it's Pippin who kills him (like in the book)

Isn't it that the troll wasn't killed in the fight at the Black Gates. The troll (who was about to kill Aragorn, that's why Legolas rushes to help him) fled when the ring was destroyed and Sauron fell and lost his power.

Correct me guys if I'm wrong.

And I'm wondering how come there is already a pdvd of the theatrical version of ROTK when it is supposed to be released in May or June? How were the bootleggers able to get hold of the original theatrical release on dvd?

Galadriel just narrated the history of the ring- nothing more. The Trilogy really started when Frodo was under the tree, btw.


The story must be narrated by someone who is more or less neutral and someone wiser and someone who see things from a broader perspective and Galadriel fits that.

Elves lead an immortal life, it's more sensible to get the story from them; it will give the story a sense of history and timeless appeal.

Besides Frodo did not witness the entire scope of the war/story he can only be a good narrator as far as his and Sam adventure is concern while Galadriel got to see the war thru her visions and elves powers and that will give the ending more sense in my opinion.

BTW the story in my opinion started from the forging of the Ring and ended with its destruction.  Only the elves were present thru the whole history of the Ring.

Title: Re:The Lord Of The Rings DVDs
Post by: greatbop on Mar 15, 2004 at 04:43 PM
Yeah, galadriel telling the prologue is a nice choice. because she still had all the powers then. But then, after The One Ring was destroyed, so did the powers of the remaining Rings: The Threes, The Fives, and The Nines.

Frodo was with everybody when The Fellowship started to break up. Kaya he has 1st hand experience sa story. and has every right to tell the ending.

Title: Re: The Lord Of The Rings DVDs
Post by: Koolkat on May 24, 2004 at 02:28 AM
mas ok ang widescreen kasi pag full screen pinuputol nila yung sides nung movie.  Just think of it this way, your tv is shaped like a square while the movie screen is more of a rectangle shape. So if a movie that was originally developed on a rectangle shaped screen will be transferred to a square shaped screen, then naturally they will have to cut off the "sides" of the movie.That I guess would be the easiest way to explain it. Ill leave it to the more technical guys to explain it further.  :)

Eh di naman widescreen yung tv ko eh. full screen po. that's why full screen is better. kasi full frame, mas malaki yung view. yung widescreen kasi putol yung itaas and ibaba diba? di na nga masyadong malaki yung tv ko tapos widescreen pa. edi lalong lumiit yung frame.

hehehe easy dudes!!

to answer your question mem, i don't think the full screen edition of rotk will be released here based on my experiences with the first two dvds.  they released only the widescreen editions as i can remember.  full screen editions are available in r1 as far as i know, maybe you can ask r3 buyers from hk, singapore or korea if they're available.

i think to each is own, others prefer full screen editions, others widescreens.  they wouldn't release full screen editions if there's no market.  there is a market but only a few.  so why ridicule these people?!

Just see HOW MUCH of the picture is lost. kahit na yung pinapanooran ko was 20" lang na tv. Plenty of information is simply lost dahil yung pic.

All you have to realize is how much 'shorter' the full screen version is to the oiringal ratio. and you should easily tell just how much information is chopped off.

I have a cousin working for the customs. He told me that he heard over there that the R1 LOTR:ROTK that's supposed to be released here on May 26 then moved to May 31 will be delayed even further by as much as a few more weeks. Earlist daw would be by around the middle of June. Don't ask me about the details, that's all I know about it.  :'(  :'(  :'(

oh no! say it ain't so!  :(

well, i'm still hoping it comes out on may 31.

i guess we'll have to wait for an official announcement from c-interactive kung pushed back nga to june.
(and they better have an explanation, if that's true.   :P )

NO DIFFERENCE WHATSOEVER in terms of DVD content. Same great transfer, exact same audio, exact same features.

Yung packaging lang is a bit different. Since it has to be in bi lingual. and yung dvd case is in plain black- instead of being in blue.

Another chismis from my cousin working at the customs:

LOTR ROTK R1 may not be released here after all. Mejo mainit daw yung technical issues regarding the title being an R1. Baka hihintayin na lang daw dumating yung R3 version and that would be the one that would be released. Expected date of arrival of the LOTR ROTK R3 is still indefinite daw. Perhaps this explains the unusual and constant delays for the title.

Now, C-Interactive has issued a statement that the LOTR ROTK R1 will be released on June 5. Somehow, I already find that hard to believe.

Again, please don't ask me about the details. This is all that I know.

If there are technical issues regarding the R1 format, how come Viva seems to have no problems releasing R1 formats ahead of the R3 release.  They have been regularly releasing R1 DVDs (such as Lion King, Lion King 1-1/2, Brother Bear, Pirates of the Carribean, Finding Nemo, etc.).  Baka naman hindi maayos ang importation ng C-Interactive kaya hindi ma-release ng customs ang stock?

Thanks.  I wasn't implying anything negative about your post.  I was just surprised that C-Interactive has finally released the ROTK DVD, and that they've released it on a date that's earlier than what they have been telling other PinoyDVD members (see posts on the ROTK DVD R3 thread).  C-Interactive hasn't been very consistent with their announcements.

Title: VRB or others.....
Post by: Maxster on Jun 04, 2004 at 01:41 PM
I have a feeling that the j3rk offs from the VRB deliberately did that to the DVDs to piss us off. Well, if that's the case, though I won't buy pirated, I hope all local sucky movies (not unless they're really good) get pirated. They're not using their common sense. I'm not sure if Edu Manzano heads the VRB, because if he is, he's another example of those showbiz people who're so obsessed with getting the limelight especially now they're passe and they can't even come up with quality movies. Now they're targetting honest consumers and honest distributors who only desire one thing, "To bring the good stuff the world has to offer to our already depraved, culturally and economically impoverished society." These same people don't want to bring the beauty of the world to the general public. They're already comfortable knowing that they could always fly in and out of the country buying all their imported luxury goods and probably not even paying taxes when they bring in all their couture, electronics and jewelry here. (Through NAIA). O0 The truth is, as much as we're aiming to produce quality DVDs locally, sometimes, when they're not produced here, we just have to resort to importation. And if you're a DVD collector, why even buy VCD. They don't get it, they can't force us to buy just what is out there. We only buy what we want to buy. They're insane.

The same thing the local record distributors grand standed before against imported CDs. Such is the market of CD Warehouse and other local importers who are now being or have been annihilated by the senseless monopolizers who are anti-consumer. We all know sometimes, that we as consumers pay premium for something that is premium and we won't pay a single cent for something mediocre. It's our joy to have even just a part or parts of what the rest of the civilized world has.

These hypocritical demagogues simply like to control everything while they themselves build pretty fences to shield themselves from what they let us go through. How selfish can they get? >:D

By the way, just to clarify -- it isn't the VRB that puts the stickers. The local distributor buys the stickers from the VRB. It's the distributor that applies the stickers to the DVDs before sending them out to the shops.

Nope... the theatrical versions traditionally will not have any Easter Eggs... sa Extended Cut, it's possible that it'll have one. Although, wala atang spoof* ng LoTR sa MTV awards this year, so.. baka wala.

Possible na we can get the famous Canne Film Festival teaser rin.. only a few lucky people have seen it eh.

I bought my copy at Tower Records last Tuesday and hadn't notice the slash at the lower left hand corner of the disk. After reading this forum, I decided to return my dvd. After all, I hadn't opened it yet.

Just today, I returned the dvd and noticed new stocks piled up on the shelf. I offered to look for a "less damaged" one. After several minutes of meticulously checking all the stocks on the shelf for a good copy among all, and  I mean all "slashed" dvd's (you know, checking the plastic against the light and in every angle, etc.  hehe ::)), this saleslady approached me and gave me a new copy without a vrb sticker on it! It was pristine and sealed! Halleluia!  ;D Naawa o naiinis siguro sila sa akin kasi I really tried to look for a copy without the slash. Hehe. I learned today that it really pays to be meticulous! Anyway, it also made me wonder why I didn't ask for an "unslashed" copy in the first place. I guess I assumed they wouldn't have one.  But they did! ;)

But still, something as reckless as slashing a dvd cover is unforgivable! >:( Nag-flashback tuloy sa akin yung experience ko sa post office when the lady there slashed the cover of my package containing dvd's! Hay, nanlumo talaga ako kasi nasira yung cover! Very traumatic!   :(

"felt lucky na rin.. my cousin bought some dvds from bestbuy with the barcodes injured.. "


that's extremely unusual. If there's one part of the packaging that bestbuy protects with all its life, it's the bar code...

so he must have done something with it.

tapos pag maaga pa nyang nabili yun, it's sold 'fresh out of the box.' they don't even bother putting a sticker on it.

got a dvd bought from best buy (by my cousins) with injured bar code too. got born on the fourth of july dts..  and when i encoded the upc (on the sticker used to hide the slash) in my dvd profiler.. it says little women CE...

not an isolated case i guess... locally distributed LOTR- ROTK is fine with the slash.. better nga lang kung wala.. especially for collectors.

is it me or parang mas mahina ung sound ng ROTK compared sa past 2 titles?

any feedback about this from the guys who already bought the DVD? i'm actually concerned about the scenes where the Fellbeasts are screaming. In the cinema, this was the part that i liked best.

I hope i get the same impact with the dvd

Just thought I'd post this bit from thedigitalbits.com.  Nothing really new here, but it's still news.  Ang tagal naman kasi ng release!  >:(

In other DVD release news, Entertainment Weekly magazine posted a short blurb in their June 19th issue about what we can expect on the forthcoming The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King - Special Extended DVD Edition (which arrives in December - street date TBA). Look for the film to be a whopping 49 minute longer, complete with more than 300 new FX shots completed just for this release. Among the new scenes you'll see will be Gandalf facing down the Witch King at Minas Tirith, the Mouth of Sauron taunting Aragorn and company at the Black Gates, Aragorn tending to Eowyn at the House of Healing, and Gandalf's final confrontation with the wizard Saruman. You'll also get more audio commentaries from everyone involved, two discs worth of exclusive, in-depth documentaries and (we've heard) a pretty funny Easter egg or two. Look for the 4-disc set's faux leather slipcase to be blue. We'll post further details as they become available.

 Aragorn tending to Eowyn at the House of Healing,

Sana faramir din andoon..

and Gandalf's final confrontation with the wizard Saruman.

This just in from dvdanswers.com....

Title: Lord of the Rings
Starring: Elijah Wood
Released: December 2004
SRP: Price TBC

Further Details
The folks at TheOneRing.net have obtained images of the new Return of the King: Collector's Set which will include the extended edition of the film, along with a Sideshow/Weta statue of Minas Tirith. As you can see from the images below, the statue will open up, so that things can be stored inside. The companion piece (which you can only buy if you purchase the gift set) is Minas Morgul, images of which can be seen nearer the bottom of the page. I'm afraid we have no further details on the extended edition at this stage, although information should begin filtering out over the next few days. Sorry for the low quality images, but they were taken with a webcam at this weeks ComicCon event, so it can't be helped! We'll bring you the high resolution shots as soon as possible. Thanks to Jon Jones for bringing this to our attention.

pics at: http://dvdanswers.com/index.php?r=0&s=1&c=4433&n=1&burl=


am i reading this right? there will be a Collector's Set with the Minas Tirith statue, and a Gift Set with both the Minas Tirith and Minas Morgul statues? i wonder how much the gift set will cost, and i wonder how much we'll have to shell out on top of that for having it shipped.  ::)

Post by: greatbop on Jul 24, 2004 at 01:20 PM
well here's some more info about the dvds from Jeremy- for dvd.ign editor. he posted this at ign's messageboards.



" am extremely tired right now and cannot write up a full rundown on what I just saw, but New Line treated Comic Con to not only a full Extended Edition Preview like the Theatrical DVDs had, but also THREE complete scenes from the Extended Edition, an interview snippet NOT INCLUDED on the DVD, and a Q&A session with the DVD producers, LOTR Producer Rick Porras, and FARAMIR AND PIPPIN!

The three scenes shown were:

Faramir and Eowyn, five days after the Houses of Healing, falling for each other.

Faramir and Pippin talking about how Pippin's Gondorian clothing was Faramir's from when he was a child.

Extended escape from The Paths of the Dead. Skulls galore.

The preview showed lots of Houses of Healing, more battles, Frodo and Sam joining the Column of Orcs, SARUMAN, the Mouth of Sauron, and the Witch King vs. Gandalf and a lot more.

Tons of stuff and I have it all in my head. I'll be doing a HUGE write-up for Andy soon. "

The scene where Pippin finds Merry is also extended on the DVD. Now, Pippin searches the fields for an entire day after everyone goes back into the city and now finds Merry at night


Q: Kick ass. Did you see anything with Christopher Lee? Oh duh I see where you said you saw him in the preview. Either way Im excited about this.

A: SARUMAN FIREBALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

Mouth of Sauron looks great.

Oh, and I forgot Frodo and Sam at the Crossroads 

Tired.


The gift set includes the four disc set, a statue of Minas Tirith (along with a send away offer for a matching Minas Morgul), and an additional DVD titled "Creating the Lord of the Rings Symphony" which includes concert footage from Shore's touring Symphony.

Artwork on the discs:

Disc One: Felbeast
Disc Two: Looks like Cirith Ungol
Disc Three: Looks like a figure walking across Mordor
Disc Four: Minas Morgul


there's the answer of how to obtain Minas Morgul.. it's a send away card.

from www.thedigitalbits.com:

Todd and I were also on hand this weekend as New Line finally revealed more details about the forthcoming The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King - Special Extended DVD Edition (currently set to street in December - date TBA). The set will feature more than 50 additional minutes of footage, including some 300 additional effect shots. Among the new scenes we were able to preview this weekend were: the final confrontation between Gandalf and Sarumon at Isengard, the "mouth" of Sauron at the Black Gate, Aragorn revealing the sword Anduril to Sauron's eye in the Seeing-stone, the confrontation between the Witch King and Gandalf at Minas Tirith, more battle footage on the Pelennor fields, Frodo and Sam marching with Sauron's forces disguised as Orcs, Faramir telling Denethor that he would never use the power of the Ring, Aragorn looking down upon a fleet of Corsair ships from a ridgetop, Faramir and Éowyn at the House of Healing, Merry pledging allegiance to King Theoden at Gondor, Aragorn, Legolas and Gimli narrowly escaping an avalanche of skulls deep inside the Dwimorberg and MUCH more. From what we've seen, this final extended cut promises to be every bit as good as the previous two. We also learned that the set will feature more than 20 hours of supplemental content.

That's not all. In addition to the 4 disc set, there will also be another special collector's gift set, that will include the 4-disc Extended Edition along with a bonus DVD - Howard Shore: Creating the Lord of the Rings Symphony - A Composer's Journey Through Middle-earth - and a miniature Sideshow/Weta statue of Minas Tirith, which doubles as a trinket box.

uh.. maybe the fact that NO ELVES SHOULD OF EVEN BEEN AT HELM's Deep got something to do with it. Hence, Haldir should of never been slain. Eomer should of reconciled with theoden ways before Helm's Deep. and not show up with Gandalf at the end of defense.

yun yung pinaka ayaw ko sa mga ginawa ni Phillipa Boyens and PJ's wife. Next to the Faramir charcter change ofcourse.

Lord of the Rings Topps Autograph Mini Master Set


FROM the owner...

Nothing like this has ever been for sale before and nothing like it will ever sell again! What you see above is a Custom framed and double matted mini-master set of 24 of the Topps Lord of the Rings autograph cards. All of the rarest and hardest to find autographs are included. This piece was made in November of 2003 and includes one autograph from every cast member who signed up to that point (a couple months later the 2nd Return of the King edition came out with the aditional three signers and now the Return of the King update is out with two new signers -- But this is every cast member who signed a card before those two releases!!) The entire piece measures aprox. 60 x 45 x 2" and weighs well over 25 pounds. It is beautifully double matted and framed in a rich wooden frame. The cost for this custom framing job was $628. I spent close to $3300 putting this entire piece together. --- Set among the 24 autographs is an original double sided theatrical release 27x40'' poster from The Fellowship of the Rings.

Share ko lang for your viewing pleasure...

PEACE!!!

Retail sources are telling us to expect New Line's 4-disc The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King - Special Extended DVD Edition on 12/7.

Earlier today we said that the studio had announced the title for release on 12/14. They had published a 2-page spread in this week's issue of Video Store revealing the street date, SRP and other details. Turns out that the ad got printed prematurely and was retracted. So the street date and other release details are still subject to change. Doh! We've updated the posting below and we'll be sure to let you know when New Line gets their ducks in a row on the release information.

YEAH! anu ba talaga kuya hehe  >:( ;D

'Lord of the Rings,' 'Braveheart' swords made in RP

By CARLOS D. MARQUEZ JR.
TODAY Correspondent

Cabiao, Nueva Ecija - The breathtaking beauty of New Zealand and Scotland may have provided the memorable backdrop for the blockbuster Hollywood films The Lord of the Rings, Braveheart and First Knight , among others, but the swords that were so indispensable to them were designed by a Filipino mechanical engineer­and made in a small blacksmith shop in this town.

The designer, Rodrigo Revote, 44, said he made the Gandalf swords used by "Frodo" and "Aragorn" in winning the throne of Gondor in J.R.R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings from metal scraps he picked around his neighborhood in barangay Entablado, in Cabiao town.

For some other knife and sword designs, he simply used lahar and other debris from Mount Pinatubo's eruption.

"They were laughing at me, scorning my appearance like a scavenger," Revote recalled, while holding a replica of the sword used by Mel Gibson in Braveheart.

He knew from his American export broker that his custom-made products will be used in those movies.

Now, his Revote Enterprises ships an average of 700 to 1,000 custom-made swords to the US every month. A Gandalf sword costs $300. It takes the Revote Enterprises, now with about 75 workers, at least three days to finish a Gandalf sword.

i really don't know if i should believe this story.

dahil sa bonus features, yung mga swords are designed by Richard Taylor's Staff (WETA) and either Alan Lee and that guy that brought his armour. 

plus pinakita pa sa dvd na isa isa nilang ginagawa yung swords...

so idunno what to believe. ung claim nyan. or yung sa dvd na may video pa...

He doesn't even know what Gandalf's Sword's name is- it's GLAMDRING. maybe he does replicas yun lang..

everything was done inside WETA.

Gandalf swords used by "Frodo" and "Aragorn"

They weren't "Gandalf swords". Each one has a name and history all its own:

Gandalf's sword = Glamdring
Frodo's sword = Sting
Aragorn's sword = Anduril

Such sloppy writing by the "correspondent" tends to make his story less believable.

From thedigitalbits.com.  Here's an additional scene from the ROTK EE (as confirmed by New Line) which should be fun to watch (SPOILER - HIGHLIGHT TO READ):

 ;) "Finally, fans will relish a surprising cameo by Peter Jackson. Though the mastermind behind the Trilogy could be glimpsed in the theatrical cut playing one of the pirates whose ship is overtaken by Aragorn and the newly raised Armies of the Dead, in the Special Extended Edition, Gimli (John-Rhys Davies) causes one of Legolas's (Orlando Bloom) arrows to misfire, accidentally hitting and killing Jackson!"  ;)

Hello. Also planning to order from Amazon yung DVD, unless of course Astrovision will get copies and put them out on shelves December 14. This won't be my first time ordering online; first time nga lang to order from Amazon. How long til it gets here? Hinaharang sa airport yung deliveries from Amazon? How come? Do you guys have any idea if they put out stocks of the ROTK EE DVD to their Cebu branch? I'm kinda restraining myself from ordering it online, baka kasi when I go to Astro on the release date they have it na and I may have to wait for the copy I ordered online. Sobra hassle na if that happens.

I saw the story ABS put out about the guy making the LOTR/Kill Bill/Last Samurai swords; it's pretty out there. I mean, I'm all for global Pinoy recognition and all that pero taking credit for something that you didn't do in the first place is kind of below the belt. I wonder what Richard Taylor and company think about this whole thing...

before, music one and astrovision sold fellowship of the ring and the two towers extended dvds for 2,200 each.  they are direct imports from new line so expect a region 1 coding.  with the current exchange rates, i would guess the prices would be around 2,300 to 2,400 pesos for return of the king extended dvd.  but i guess, it will be available by january next year judging from my experiences with our local stores.

hmmm... misconception yata yung hinaharang sa airport yung deliveries sa airport!   either we receive it in pasay or the central post office in manila then distributed to local post offices.  you can read other threads on star wars dvds on how they got the trilogy from amazon or other online stores just to give you an idea.  they use johhny air cargo or relatives from the states then handcarry na.

in terms of prices, $23.99 for rotk and $25-27 for the previous movies, it is still cheaper but you have to add shipping costs, aabot talaga ng 2k ++.

hope this helps

uh.. maybe the fact that NO ELVES SHOULD OF EVEN BEEN AT HELM's Deep got something to do with it. Hence, Haldir should of never been slain. Eomer should of reconciled with theoden ways before Helm's Deep. and not show up with Gandalf at the end of defense.

yun yung pinaka ayaw ko sa mga ginawa ni Phillipa Boyens and PJ's wife. Next to the Faramir charcter change ofcourse.

I just tried www.e-2-door.com and I think P2600+, kasama na yung shipping. I guess I'll be ordering from Amazon through e-2-door. I can't wait 'til a few weeks later sa Astro, especially since there's no clear news if the branches here in Cebu will be getting the DVD on time.

e-2-door has a premium almost equal to what you'd pay if you let the retailer abroad deliver your order here.
On the other hand, my Fellowship of the Ring gift set was ordered from Amazon.CA. The tax alone cost more than 1,500Php.
I paid 5,1++ for that set.  My Two Towers gift set was through pinoydvd and was around 4.2K.

I'm waiting for pdvd members to offer the RotK gift set come late November or early December  ;D

ehehe baka ma ot.  i think there would be enough battle scenes to be added, kung meron man kokonti na lang siguro.  the extended version would focus mainly on important scenes that didn't make it in theatrical cuts like saruman's death, how eowyn and faramir developed, faramir's healing etc.  it would cover only details that could have made the theatrical cuts kasi sobrang haba na talaga.  like the two previous episodes, some were re shots and taken again just for the extended versions.

Actually, you only have to follow the instructions after "Checkout". But basically, you have to put your order in the cart then checkout, and input your Credit Card info, Billing Address, and Shipping Address. Your shipping address may be different from your billing address. You'll also be asked your preferred "shipping method" and gift options.  You can review the final billing cost before placing the order.  But before anything else, you have to create an account with Amazon, you just need an email address and password. Hope this helps.  :)

It's not necessary to have a dollar account. Your credit card will be billed in the equivalent peso amount of your dollar purchase but the conversion rate will be higher by 1-2 pesos.  :)

You guys might want to try placing your pre-orders at www.parconline.biz. Should be familiar to you DVD guys in Manila, right? I hear they get their DVDs early from their suppliers in the States, earlier than the supposed release date. Pretty sweet if you ask me. ;D I'll be ordering from these guys siguro; I originally planned to order from Amazon kasi.

These images I got from another site (forgot the URL) before they were taken down last November 1. What's interesting is that someone from Weta Workshop confirms the existence of another Extended Edition version of the movie which is almost (*hold your breath*)...5 frickin' hours long!!![/i] Unbelievable? Believe it. Apparently, Fran and Pete made special special editions for the cast and crew only. And it reportedly has an epilogue. Read on below:

News - Last update: 1st November 2004

Weta Workshop warns me because the Spoiler-images and also confirm what I have found out in the last two days: the special "Cast-and-crew"-SEE-version!

The Spoiler-images are deleted: J. D. (of course the webmaster know the full written name) from Weta Workshop has contacted me. In the first part of his message, he has told me about, that he is not very pleased, to see the Spoiler-images from the Return of the King. That is the reason, why I have now take all the spoiler-images down! Sorry, but I do not want have problmes, the risk his to high! Only New Line could kick my ass, but J. D. just need to contact them via phone, and then I have trouble.

So: In future, I wont upload new images, that I get from my European source (btw: until now, I have always asked one of the sources, before I have uploaded Spoiler-images!)! My source is not a danger for New Line, he does not send the images to other people, he also do not make copies of the movie! A very good attitude. But I will still let you know, which new images I get. Nobody can make it forbidden, to write describtions, or can they? I can only say that about my: the companies can trust me!

The story about the two film-versions: I must excuse, because I have no real proofs (images). But for what should I fake that all? I trust my sources, I know that they are real, so let me finish:

In the last weekend, one of my sources has told me about an UNRATED DVD-version of the Special Extended Edition. Only the cast and crew (New Line is not a part of the cast, only Weta Digital, and Weta Workshop and so on) will get this DVD in the next few days!

A different cut was made just for the crew and cast. The version that was shown in the screening in Wellington (2nd August 2004, six people, from that I now almost know five, was there) was not intended to be the version, that goes into the stores in December!

The running time of the "Cast-and-crew"-Special Extended Edition is: 4 hours, 55 minutes and 19
seconds! It is much more longer than the film-version, that come out in Decmeber! Why it is longer? Because in the "Cast-and-crew"-version are more scenes: the Epilogue is still inside! There are also the new Elrond/Arwen-scenes, the extended Grey heavens and so on!

The "Cast-and-crew"-Version of the SEE is a surprise for the men and women, that have worked for the film. Even members of Weta did not know, that such a version will be come out for them. From the TTT SEE and from the FotR-SEE, there does not exist such "Cast-and-crew"-versions.

J. D. has confirms the things, that I have heard before! Orginally part of J. D.´s message:

"Now I wanted to address the epilogue you wrote about. Yes, there
is an epilogue sequence, yes, it was originally in the film, yes, we did
have to cut it out. But, not for length. The length of the film had
nothing to do with it. It was because there simply was not enough room on
the dvd. Once we added all the audio tracks (5.1 surround, DTS, commentary,
etc) There was not enough room. So changes had to be made. One of the
victims was the epilogue among other scenes. Now we still have the version
with the epilogue still in the cut. That version will only be made
available to members of the crew as a special gift from Fran and Peter. I
also checked out the reviews you have on your site (oh yes, I studied your
site). I see that the two reviews came from a screening held down in
Wellington."

After that, he wrote about himself, he give me his name. He said, I can check it, if I want, but he know that, but he must be real, if he knew that all. I trust him (but nevertheless I let check the name by Jedi/Moorer).

In the end he has written:

"That screening was of the uncut version. So all the things that are in those
reviews are not going to be seen when the extended dvd hits store shelves.
So your souces are going to look like a couple of losers. Look, I just
wanted to make sure you had the facts straight on what happened to the
epilogue."


So, let me make an end: of course I try to talk with that men, with Jedi and also with Mr. Moorer. The images are deleted, I want to be cooperatively. There will not be other or new images from the source, that has already the movie!

The SEE, that will come out in Decmeber, there was in last time no huge cuts or changes, the epilouge and the other things was already taken out very early!

I also try to make a list with the differences between the SEE-version, that we can see in December, and the SEE-version, that was especially made for the cast and crew.

Title: Re: The Lord Of The Rings DVDs
Post by: BaD_BURN on Nov 06, 2004 at 10:00 AM
I'll try to hunt it down, yung URL ng site where I get this screencaps. Even if you do manage to get into the site, you wont find screencaps from the DVD anymore kasi they were taken down as requested by the guys at the Weta Workshop. I did manage to download every (almost :P) caps that were posted before they were taken down. These are huge shots; the first batch I posted here, yung Sam and Frodo at the Crossroads and the confrontation between Gandalf and Saruman are unedited (meaning they weren't resized or anything). The second batch, with Eowyn and Faramir at the Houses of Healing/Aragorn, Legolas and Gimli at Pelargir and the Mouth of Sauron getting decapitated, those I've resized na. Pero seeing that they still load slowly on your connection, bigay mo lang sa akin yung email add mo and I'll gladly email you the caps. :)

On another note, I was running an errand for my teacher sa university namin (Southwestern University, in Cebu). He asked me to go to the IT division to ask for some technician. You won't believe what I saw when I walked through their door: they were watching the ROTK EE DVD!!! :o :o :o I s**t you not, people. For real, the unmistakable blue bookcase was there and everything. Apparently, the daughter of the university treasurer (who belongs to the family who owns the school, the Aznars) somehow got hold of a copy earlier than everybody else. I had to look away and went out as soon as I saw the scene where Legolas shoots Grima just not to spoil myself silly. I returned, however, a few hours later to ask the tech guy my teacher was asking for and was relieved (at the same time, kicking myself in the head for not staying a bit longer for a peek at it :P) that they weren't watching it anymore.

re the ROTK - EE, alam ko press/trade accounts copies are distributed 4-8 weeks from date of release. these are "specially" marked dvd sets to distinguish from standard releases. more often than not, it has a different packaging altogether.

have you closely checked the package and the booklet?

Sure enough, it was the blue bookcase spread open wide 3 feet away from me. The booklet was there, I swear, its the real thing. I texted Sir Parc from www.parconline.biz and he explained that they may have gotten it in retail stores in the States. If they were caught, heavy penalties would be meted out. This is clearly a violation of the street date, but what can you do. The Aznars are filthy rich. :P

Two weeks max (I hope :P) for those who pre-ordered from Sir Parc (www.parconline.biz). Dumating na kasi yung stocks ng Spider-Man 2 DVD niya (region 1) and he's been constantly updating obsessive LOTR fans na once the deliveries of the SM2 DVDs will be taken care of, ang hihintayin na lang is a confirmation from his supplier from the States na the ROTK EE DVDs are good to go. ;D Can't wait!

bad burn.. i think what james16 meant when he asked about updates.. is if there are news regarding the boxsets or LOTR- ROTK..

di ba confidential yang mga updates from PARC este master PARC? i was surprised to see it posted.. 

 ???

bad_burn,

                Would you know the prices? ;) How are these delivered?
Title: Re: The Lord Of The Rings DVDs
Post by: BaD_BURN on Nov 26, 2004 at 12:41 PM
Whew! Daming questions. ;D

Okay...

hemisphere1234: I've no idea if dapat confidential yung updates from Sir Parc regarding upcoming DVD arrivals and stuff. All I know is when you sign up for the newsletter thru a Yahoo! group that he runs (forgot the name :P. Just check out www.parconline.biz), you will get regular updates about upcoming DVD titles and stuff, when they're expected to arrive, mga ganun. I dont see any reason why the updates have to be confidential. ???

dyobbs: be prepared to shell out around 2,600-2,800, like what Sir Parc told me. That would be for the 4 disc regular version. Deliveries are normally done on Thursdays (damn, I'm beginning to sound like I work for the guy ;D), for customers in Metro Manila and neighboring cities. For provincial customers, DVD pickup by DHL on Thursday and overnight shipping to arrive on Friday. Delivery fee is P60 for MM customers, P80 for provincial. Just go check out his site for complete, extensive FAQs.

james16: not much going on. But do check out the official LOTR site on November 29 for the world premiere of the six minute trailer for the ROTK EE DVD.

Hope I answered all your questions. ;)

OT:  okay.. no prob. i know PARC and i have been purchasing DVDs from this great seller since last year. i was just thinking for days now.. if the message is not for public "consumption".. how come it is not posted in his marketplace thread?

anyhow.. hi PARC!!! Dito na ba si Deng sa Manila?

ROTK EE DVD 6 minute preview - High (http://progressive2.stream.aol.com/newline/gl/newline/lordoftherings/ReturnOfTheKing/videos/NoMansExtndCut_700_dl.mov)

Here's the transcript for the trailer (courtesy of TORN Ringer Spy WhiteLadyEowyn):

Transcript of the Return of the King Extended Edition Preview....
Hidden behind the cut, for length reasons, obviously!

Enjoy!


SPOILERS BELOW!!!!!!!!!!


(( Soundtrack music plays throughout trailer ))

Saruman: So you have come here for information.... I have some for you.
Something festers in the heart of Middle-earth.....something that you have failed to see. You are all going to die.


Sam: Mr. Frodo, what is it?
Frodo: Just a feeling......I don't think I'll be coming back.


Faramir: I would not use the Ring....not if Minas Tirith were falling in ruin and I alone could save her.
Denethor: Boromir would have brought me a kingly gift.


(( Frodo and Sam marching with the Orcs ))
Frodo( desperate sounding ): Sam, help me.


MOS: My master, Sauron the Great, bids thee welcome


Aragorn: Long have you hunted me.... Long have I elluded you. But no more. Behold the Sword of Elendil!


PJ: The Return of the King has always been the longest of the 3 movies. We had more footage for this movie than the other two, and so therefore,um, there were more choices available to us for the Extended Version.
So we went through and I applied the same rationale as I have on the previous 2 movies, which is to basically put in scenes that I thought would be fun for people to see.


Aragorn: You may go no further. You will not enter Gondor.
Corsair: Who are you to deny us passage?
Barrie Osborne: That was the most difficult thing to cut because, of course, the guy that gets shot is none other than our director, Peter Jackson.


EW: The things that end up getting cut out are the things that tend to be kind of character development moments, but I love those moments.
Eowyn: There is no warmth left in the Sun.
Faramir; Tis just the damp of the first Spring rain. I do not believe this darkness will endure.


PJ: The Mouth of Sauron is a particularly nice little sequence too....it's a memorable scene from the book.
EW: It's this very creepy, awful creature that's unlike anything that we've seen in the movie thus far.
MOS: I have a token I was bidden to show thee.
Pippin(gasping): Frodo...


Viggo: Additional material in the Paths of the Dead is significant.. And some of the words in that scene - many of them - are directly from the book, which I always like.
Legolas: You shall call them from the grey twilight... the forgotten people... The heir of him to whom the oath they swore. Need shall drive them. They shall pass the door to the Paths of the Dead.
Richard Taylor: If the scene wasn't amazing enough, Peter decided that, uh, within the catacombs, there should be this massive earthquake.
(Viggo calls out.)


Christopher Lee; And everyone, all over the world - I think I'm pretty safe in saying this - is waiting for the final confrontation between Saruman and the Fellowship. Well, in the Extended Version, they will see that.
Gandalf: Come down Saruman, and your life will be spared.
Saruman: Save your pity and your mercy, I have no use for it!


PJ: Let's face it, ROTK was always a little short, I mean, so, we did have to compensate, so we've now put an extra 50 minutes, I think, back in it. The 50 minutes of extra footage, basically equates to half of a major film, because within that 50 minutes, there's something like 300 extra visual effects shots.


PJ: Alongside the, the movie itself is obviously our Appendicies, our documentaries on the making of the film and they, too, come to a conclusion, and they chart the fulfillment of this project.

Rick Porras: Just like the Return of the King is the conclusion to what happens with the Fellowship, the Appendicies in the Extended cut is basically the conclusion to our own personal story in the making of these films.

Sean Astin: In terms of the audio commentary, and some of the behind the scenes footage, and these interviews, there's this unbelievable, loving living breathing archive, and, uh, I love that.
PJ: The documentaries, and the appendicies, on these Extended cuts has maintained the integrity and the quality of what we've tried to acheive with the feature films. We wanted our movies to be good and we wanted our documentaries to be good. And to just be able to share with people what we went through making this film.

Billy: Its almost as if someone made a family movie, while we were making the movie, so when we have kids ( meaning him and Dom ) - I don't mean together of course - we'll be albe to look at these things and say "This is what we did, you know, when we were in New Zealand.... Look at us.....Look how beautiful I am!"

Barrie: So for us, this is a really personal document, the DVD, that in a way especially the appendicies, documents this trip we've taken.

EW: It was an amazing experience, something I hold very close to my heart, so, the fans you know and all of us, can allow the films and the experience to sort of live on in these DVDs.

((Eagle Rescue song here ))
Sam: Mr. Frodo, there is light, and beauty up there, that no shadow can touch.


Merry; I know it is too late to turn aside, I know there is not much point now in hoping. (but) Im a Hobbit, and I know that I cant save Middle Earth. I just want to help my friends.....more than anything, I wish I could see them again.

(( Beacon music plays under this, no words ))


Gandalf: Go back to the Abyss......fall into the nothingness that awaits you and your Master!
WK: This is my hour!
[/b]

Cheers!  ;D

Sorry, I only had time to browse through the site today. I didn't realize this was here since last week.

Bad_Burn - it's alright sir. This must be the one of the reasons why we received many inquiries last week.  Thanks for answering questions in behalf of me.

Hemisphere - As always, thanks for your concern sir. ;)

Anyway, to anyone interested, I will be announcing my stock's release on my mailing list.  I am also anticipating this kasi matrabaho talaga ito. Please email your inquiries to me na lang.

Thanks!

More on the EE: Clarifying Robert's Review
Tehanu @ 4:04 pm EST

Warren wrote in to tell us about the Extended DVD and also to respond to Robert's review which we posted yesterday:

"Hello, since I saw the ROTK EE last night, I though I'd throw my two cents in. First, for all those in NYC, you can purchase the ROTK EE DVD at a video store on the corner of 40th St. and 8th Ave. (across from the Port Authority south building). Take the stairs down leading to the subway and the store is right there (Warning! Lots of adult titles as well). Price is $39.99.

"Also, in terms of Easter Eggs, there are two (both in the same places as in the FOTR EE version). On the first disc we have the interview with Dominic Monaghan and Elijah Wood via satelitle, with Dom pretending to be a German journalist and asking Elijah outrageous questions. Very funny. On the second disc, we find the clip from the MTV movies awards where VinceVaugh and Ben Stiller pitch a Lord of the Rings sequel to PJ. Hysterical!

Only one. Pop in DISC 1 in your player, go to the scene selection menu then scroll down to the last chapter (OF HERBS AND STEWED RABBIT, methinks). Move the cursor down then you'll see a ring appear. Press ENTER on your remote to access the easter egg, which is Gollum's profanity-laced acceptance speech at the 2003 MTV Movie Awards when he won Best Virtual Performance.

$23.99 x 56.30

Good for you you got coupons! I had mine brought in just last Friday by a friend from Queens. She bought it for me from Best Buy also. $22.95 + 8.625% Tax. - Not bad for the 4-disc set. Watched it immediately when I got home. Well, you guys have seen the spoiler pics, but wait till you actually see the new and extended scenes. The Voice of Saruman,  the Mouth of Sauron, etc etc. These scenes are a great enhancement although I understood why they were removed from theatrical cut in the first place. Some of these scenes would have been spoilers or would have been anti-climactic. Anyway, for those of you who are still waiting, it's worth the wait! ;)

Two Easter eggs so far on the ROTK-EE: Disc 1 has Dominic Monaghan playing a prank on Elijah Wood by posing as a German interviewer during a audio tele-conference press junket (Elijah couldn't see Dominic). Disc 2 has the MTV Movie Awards 2004 clip where Ben Stiller and Vince Vaughn pitch a sequel ("quadriloqy") to Peter Jackson.

Getting to the eggs is the same as in the previous EE's.

I like how the extended version of ROTK fleshes out Theoden a bit more. The only jarring change occurs in the aftermath of the Siege of Gondor. When Theoden dies, we see Eowyn weeping over his body, and in the next scene we suddenly see Eowyn's limp body. There's no transition between scenes. Weird.

medyo OT pero.Have any of you guys already received the minas tirit environment



i guess no one here ordered the said set baby.. look what i found:


(http://masterreplicas.com/file_cache/tmp4214f3e806e08_SAURONONERING_lg_2.gif)



The Sauron One Ring is an electronic replica of the Dark Lord of Mordor's armor-clad severed finger which recalls the defeat of the malicious ruler of Middle-earth by brave Isildur, eldest son Elendil, who cut the One Ring from the hand of Sauron at the Battle of the Last Alliance in the Second Age.

This 1 to 1 scale Limited Edition replica is finely detailed for authenticity. The remnant of Sauron's armored glove on the severed finger has a dark, metallic finish with scrollwork designs.

The One Ring, which is permanently attached to Sauron's severed finger, is embellished with Elvish script that appears to be solid gold in the "off" mode. When the replica is activated, the script on the One Ring glows red through the surface giving the collectible an added dimension of realism.

The dimensions of Sauron's finger are consistent with the Dark Lord's colossal proportions: approximately 7" long x 1.5" in diameter.

The Sauron One Ring sits atop a display base created to resemble the rocky earth where Sauron's finger landed when it was sliced off.

The display case measures approximately 10" long x 6" deep x 5.5" tall with the acrylic dust cover in place. It comes with a numbered, limited edition plaque and plaque stand.

This official Lord of the Rings prop replica is fully authorized and licensed by New Line Cinema.

Batteries not included.

Limited to 2,500 worldwide.

i saw this last night while browsing that Peter Jackson plans to release an Ultimate Box Set of LOTR, wow, as if the latest Extended Edition Trilogy is not enough.  ::)
According to the interview, the new version will not include more footage but just include deleted scenes, read more from the link below:

So disk contents and inserts are all the same, xcept for the leathery box that encloses all three individual movies? Why not call it LOTR Platinum Series Extended Edition Boxed Set?  ;D 

BTW, thanks for the info...  :)

Hey everyone! Nice to find community such as this exist! I'm new so be gentle...

Anyway, I am looking for The Lord of the Rings - The Motion Picture Trilogy (Special Extended DVD Edition) box set (http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a128/nemosene/lord.jpg). I'm willing and am a serious buyer. So, just PM me.

Another question, the one I am looking for above, is the ROTK in it the same as just the single one ROTK Extended Edition? The one that has additional 50 minutes of footage? If so, I will be interested to buy just the ROTK.

And to those who have seen it (the extended ROTK), does it have any additional scenes/character information on Eowyn and Faramir?

Thanks a mil! :)

the pix posted above consist of the 3 extended editions compiled in to 1 boxset meaning you will receive 3 sealed individual extended releases plus the box.

Tried to google it but now i'm really confused! ??? Help me clear this out...how many dvd versions does LOTR really have?  I've counted 5 so far, or are some of them one and the same?

1. Theatrical edition
2. Extended Edition
3. Special Extended Edition
4. Platinum Series Extended Edition
5. Ultimate Boxed Set Edition


Thanks,

Ron

No. 1, the theatrical version contains 2dvds and as the name implies, the version we saw in the cinemas.

Numbers 2-4 are all identical, containing 4 dvds per movie (for the boxed trilogy - 12 discs). This version contains scenes not included in the theatrical version hence the name extended (Platinum Series is a signature of New Line which owns these BMF ;))

The Ultimate boxed set edition may refer to the gift set they have where each boxed set contains different busts (as in replica) or the may refer to the entire trilogy (theatrical or extended versions) all in one box.

I would prefer the Platinum Series EE (Region 1) because it features DTS ES 6.1 Track, in addition to the standard DD Track.  :)

Aside from the DTS track, it also contains commentaries from the director and actors. It also has tons of documentaries that are not included in the other release. If you are just after the movie itself and don't care about the making of lotr, casting, special effects, etc..., go with #2.
