On November 12th, 2002 Lord Of The Rings: The Fellowship Of The Ring will be released as a 4-disc special extended edition DVD which will integrate approximately 30 minutes of extra footage never-before seen, into the original theatrical release. Check out some exclusive info we found about about what's being included:

What can viewers expect from the 3 and a half hour immersion into Middle Earth??? WE'VE GOT THE ANSWERS!!! Here's what's to be expected...check out the stills!!! (Click to enlarge)

• Galadriel's Gif-Giving Scene. As the elves prepare to leave Rivendell, Elf Queen Galadriel bestows a special gift upon each of the nine members of the Fellowship.
• Bilbo Baggins writing a journal entry entitled "Concerning Hobbits," which serves as a history of the Hobbits and their bucolic lifestyle.
• A new introduction of loyal Hobbit Sam Gamgee.
• More footage from the Green Dragon Inn, with Peregrin "Pippin" Took, and Meriadoc "Merry" Brandybuck happily singing Hobbit songs.
• Sam & Frodo witnessing the stately Exodus of the Elves on the road to Bree.
• Aragorn singing an Elvish ballad that adds back story to the implications of his love for Arwen
• Aragorn beside his mother's grave in Rivendell.
• An extended sequence of the Fellowship's departure from Rivendell.
• Pre-battle scenes in the Mines Of Moria, explaining how the dwarves came to be in the mines.
• Character material delving into the complicated relationship between elves and dwarves.
• Additional footage from the Fellowship's climatic battle scene.
• Composer Howard Shore has returned with his Academy Award winning score and recorded 50 minutes of new music with the London Philharmonic for the special extended edition set!

• In addition to the 3 and a half hour feature, presented on 2 discs, the set will include 2 MORE discs packed with features not on the August release of the disc! This is includes production team commentaries, production documentaries, & interactive featurettes covering the film adaptation from "book to vision" and "from vision to reality"!

Thanks Tisoy. I heard rumors about added footage for the fellowship's last battle. What I'm wondering is how much new footage will there be. 2 minutes? 3 minutes? 4? I hope a good amount. I am really looking foward to it. After all it is their last battle in the movie, it should be more invigorating than the Mines of Moria battle. And without the extra footage I really thought the Moria battle was more exciting. Hopefully it will kick ***.

I'd take this whole report with a grain of salt just because of the butchered line that I quoted above.

The elves leave Rivendall? WTF?? Only one elf left Rivendell, Legolas. Galadriel wasn't even in Rivendell and she was not a Queen. Galadriel was in Lothlorien, and only one elf left there as well. Again Legolas.

If they can't get simple details right, I'm not so sure any of it is trustworthy.

I think they meant there will be cut aways to Rivendale showing the Elves that live there preparing to leave. Anyway the whole Gift giving scene has been talked about for months and reported as one of the new scenes all over the place. I beleive that scene will be in the extended version.

I think your wrong here. I think it was just ignorance from whom ever wrote the list of added scenes.

I agree with you here. I think the gift giving scene will be in the extra 30 minutes.
