Lord of the Rings Extended Editions Coming to Theaters

[TsunamiWombat]

They're rereleasing these in theatres because- and take note,

each film will also include a "new and personal introduction" by director Peter Jackson, filmed on the set of his current project, The Hobbit.

It's marketing, Bilbo Baggins. LOTR has been out for some time, re-releasing the movies creates buzz for the old series.

Um... Why?

Don't we all already have the extendo editions on DVD now? Why should I see these things in theatres again? At least in 1997 Star Wars added some scenes and stuff. People whine about those scenes (because people whine about everything) but it was an attempt to justify things.

Seriously, do I want to pay 8 bucks to see Merry and Pippin waste ten minutes smoking weed in the ruins of Isengard?

Because you dont have a theater in your house.

Yeah, but they don't have Funions in theatres.

 

[Worr Monger]

Plenty of theatres in my area will be showing it....

.. Time for me to put together my own Fellowship to witness this glorious event.

 

[Fusioncode9]

Yes! It's coming to my regular theater! I can't wait!

 

[Hosker]

I got excited when I read the thread title; I was just thinking that I'd like to watch these in the theatre again. And then I read only in the US.

Very true.
