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.

that's intentional. Gone are the happy days of the Fellowship. Dark, bleak, and unsure days are ahead of them..

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

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.

johndoe · « **Reply #761 on:** Jan 31, 2004 at 12:02 AM »

it will be r1 like the two before..

what we dont know is that will it be 2 or 3 disc?

for the theatrical version..
some 3+ hour films kasi on dvd's are in 2 disc..like Pearl Harbor(the last chapters are in the 2nd disc)

toyfanatic · « **Reply #762 on:** Jan 31, 2004 at 08:54 AM »

wow! I hope they are priced the same as before

I don't think they would sacrifice quality and cram it into just one disc

yahoo!! good news!! i can watch it na again earlier at home!!

Mr. Big Boy · « **Reply #767 on:** Jan 31, 2004 at 10:50 PM »

I want to watch it again on theaters but decided to wait for the extended edition na lang, medyo matagal pa pala ito.

darkwing · « **Reply #768 on:** Feb 02, 2004 at 10:52 PM »

Tagal pa sa may

watch nalang ako sa movie sa sine

my guess is that the color scheme is blue.

toyfanatic · « **Reply #773 on:** Feb 05, 2004 at 10:05 PM »

normally naman kung ano yung theatrical poster yan din yun cover ng dvd. take for example the first and second LOTR

ThePatriot · « **Reply #774 on:** Feb 06, 2004 at 02:13 AM »

okay na rin ...

i think it will be blue din(midnight blue) like the color of the two towers LE OST..

Mr. Big Boy · « **Reply #776 on:** Feb 06, 2004 at 11:49 PM »

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.

arbitrary · « **Reply #777 on:** Feb 06, 2004 at 11:54 PM »

I think it's going to be a dirty yellow, kind of brownish. I seem to remember seeing a picture of it online last year. That shade would suit the set better--all earthy colors diba?

Excited!

Mr. Big Boy · « **Reply #778 on:** Feb 07, 2004 at 12:06 AM »

arbitrary I agree with you. I remember seeing nga rin na yellowish yung color niya. Parang yellow is more suitable, medyo earth tones yung shade dapat pero pwede rin naman blue basta wag matingkad saka dapat flat yung tone ng color.

johndoe · « **Reply #779 on:** Feb 07, 2004 at 10:58 AM »

these are the colors of the limited ed soundtracks.

-i have this one.

the cover is really like the Extended editions

probably these are the colors expected for the EE &theatrical versions of rotk
