New Line Re-Releasing First Two LOTR Movies! in extended edition

[trailergod]

geeez... anybody crazy enough to watch 12 hours of LOTR ?

well at least here in Berlin, they are gonna show all LOTR movies this December..

http://www.variety.com/

New Line Cinema will re-release The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring and The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers, with additional scenes and footage added, just two weeks before the worldwide December 17 release of The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King.

The plan calls for putting the films on 100-150 screens in the top 10 U.S. markets. Many other U.S. cities will have one cinema participating in the special extended edition screenings. Running times for the extended editions are 208 minutes for "Fellowship of the Ring" and 214 minutes for "The Two Towers."

Advanced ticket sales are scheduled to begin in late September or early October on exhibitor Web sites and movie ticketing sites like Fandango, MovieFone and Movietickets.com.

Starting the week of Dec. 5, the extended DVD cut of "Fellowship of the Ring" will be released in some 100 or so theaters in the U.S. and in 20 theaters in Canada.

Then, the week of Dec. 12, "The Two Towers" will be released, leading up to a worldwide Dec. 16 daylong marathon, during which all three films will be shown back-to-back. The screenings that day will include a 3 p.m. showing of "Fellowship" followed by a 7 p.m. screening of "Two Towers" and then an 11 p.m. screening of "Return of the King," which will carry over into Dec. 17 -- the day of its global release.

You mean US theatres. There's gotta be canadian theatres that are doing this. It only makes sense, given that the LotR franchise is most successful on a per capita basis here in canada.

[chernabog_ca]

I was excited when I saw North America but then noticed that all the theatres listed are US only. It would suck if we don't get it up here.

[Granite]

Someone should petition New Line Cinema to add canadian showings

[redbear]

here is another update : just a FYI...

we are showing the marathon LOTR in a 466 seat theater...

we started selling tickets at noon and they completely sold out in 18 minutes !!!!

[Matt]

You need to get it on a bigger screen...
