The Two Towers DVD Release Dates

FortKnox writes "Mark these dates on your Calendar: 8/26/03 & 11/18/03. These are the (US) DVD release dates for The Two Towers. Like Fellowship, the first date is the release of the DVD, and the November date is the release of the special edition (with rumored extra 48 minutes of footage). Another one ring.net page has more details on the actual footage."

Re:Sure go ahead

[Anonymous Coward]

Who cares about the MPAA and RIAA?

This is LoTR!! I'll buy every DVD and soundtrack!

Hell, I'll sleep with Jack Valenti and Hilary Rosen!

Actually, ewww!

the onion

[DanThe1Man]

(with rumored extra 48 minutes of footage)

That remindes me of an Onion side story title: "DVD contains two hours of previously unseen movie"

Re:Why?

[NeeNee3]

Exactly! They are counting on the kind of fans that love the movie so much they rush out to by the regular edition as soon as it hits the shelves because they can't wait. Then, they know these same fans are going to buy the special edition when it finally releases because of the all the extras.

Heck, a lady I work with loves LOTR so much that she bought the special edition of Fellowship of the Ring TWICE! She lent the first copy to someone who was taking too long in returning it, and she didn't feel like waiting the extra day or whatever to get it back, so she went and bought it again. Movie companies love these kind of people!

Lucas

[grungebox]

I think George Lucas should watch the DVD extras so he can learn a thing or two about making good movies.

Re:Sure go ahead

[Loki_1929]

I'm sorry, could you repeat that? I was busy reading my Visa info over the phone to Jack Valenti to reserve the DVD and the special edition DVD set.

Re:Release date mix-up

[MrWa]

The actual release date for the DVD with the theatrical version of the movie is august 26th, 8/26, not June 28th, 6/28.
Hope that helps.

Helps what? Rip out my heart, stomp on it, and pour salt all over it? The release quickly went from 2 months away to 4 in the time it took me to click "read more"!!

Now I might as well wait for the Extended-Super-Delux edition...

[cyrax777]

maybe he was broke after buying the dvd?

[djupedal]

Mark these dates on your Calendar: 4/28/03 & 8/11/03. These are the (China) DVD release dates for The Two Towers. Get in line now...(and wear that mask, dammit).

Gonna start a piracy thread!

[sludg-o]

Another one ring.net page has more details on the actual footage.

I bet KaZaA has more than just the details

Re:Likewise with FOTR extended DVD

[sowellfan]

If you were really dedicated, you would've sold your plasma, too, and seen the movie twice or more ;)

You could lose even more weight that way, too.

Re:You know

[Dirtside]

It's one thing to have a lot of hype on slashdot about lord of the rings. It's another thing entirely to give it its own catagory. That's just sick.

But how could they not? It is, after all, our precioussss.... yesss.... we loves it...

*shakes head* Whoa, sorry, got carried away there a second.

Got a point here...

[I-R-Baboon]

For all the recent flames on the MPAA and all the other assorted horrors who is really willing to levy the boycott and make a statement that will be heard, and who is ready to just burn the pir8 as soon as it hits the file sharing methods not even known to the appointed greedy enemy? There is more drooling over this than at the mention of Leornard Nimoy's name at a Star Trek convention.

And to boot a /. moderator mods this parent post DOWN because it rings a bit of truth and echoes hypocrisy in the ears of the modder. Somebody please mod the parent back up!!!

Hey, even when you're broke, you've got to have priorities. :-)

Re:You know

[charon_on_acheron]

They're still trying to find an icon of Bender's shiny metal ass.

Mmmmmm Special Edition DVD's

[OneArmedMan]

Wantsssss... M. Mm. My Preciousssssss

Re:Save your money.

[Xytras]

Star Wars for example, will we ever see a digital DVD compilation? You think you'll see a Analog DVD Compilation?

Maybe the extra 48 minutes

[jgerman]

... contains the scenes where Gimli kicks everyone's ass for making him comic relief.

Re:Sure go ahead

[rizzo]

Hell, I'll sleep with Jack Valenti and Hilary Rosen!

Talk about pigs in a blanket!

*rimshot*

Thanks I'll be here all week. Try the veal.

*shakes head* Whoa, sorry, got carried away there a second.

No, that belongs under The Matrix category...

You, sir, are supporting terrorism!

Re:The smart move

[FroMan]

There's a book you might want to read... I hear the graphics are pretty good and it follows the original storyline. :-P

Seriously, I can see watching a movie a couple times, even buying a movie if its really good. But watching it 30 times in a 6 month period? No, there are some issues with that. You realize that it 5 times a month, which is more than once a week on average. You need some help.

Re:Likewise with FOTR extended DVD

[protein folder]

Yeah, after eating no food for a while, donating plasma and blood and shuffling into the theater ("Frodo movie good!" slapping down a twenty at the ticket window and walking away) he can have a completely immersive experience at the movies.

"What's that Aragorn?! That man with a cell phone is an agent of Mor(rr)dor(rr)?"

"Yes, most noble and brave hobbit, PovRayMan! Girt thyself with this knife of Westernesse! Wrest the One RingTone from he who hath obviously not watched the dancing Coke(TM) bottle commanding that all cell phones should be shut off!"

Fortunately, in his weakened condition he should be easy to fend off, and the ushers can take him in the back room and feed him some Junior Mints. ("That will be $5.50, please!")

Re:Herein lies the problem

[CrayzyJ]

Some people *cough*me, have wives that attempted to do a good thing and buy the DVD when it first came out because they did not realize there was an extended edition.

Therefore, some people *cough*me have both.

In other news, FoTR standard edition for sale!

Re:Sure go ahead

[pig-of-war]

Screw that. I would deliver the Ring of Power to the Dark Lord himself if he promised to give me a copy of the extended version a week before anyone else got it. (Sure, he would cover all the land in a second darkness, but just think how jealous all the other geeks on the block would be.)
