Jackson said he had just finished editing the Extended Edition of RotK and that it was 4 hours and 10 minutes.

I could actaully do without more Legolas/Gimli humour, but so be it.
All in all I think it's just going to make more sense it it seemed to me Jackson edited the theatrical cut grudingly, as most of the "extraneous" material was pretty essential to the conclusion of the story. Bring it on!!
As for a complete extra extended mega cut...
I hope not! I won't have spent this much money on three extended DVD box sets just to have them made redundant. Of course they are bound to - it's another way to milk as much cash as possible out of us. :-/

Status : Offline | DVD Times posted following rumours
"It now looks like the final instalment in Peter Jackson's highly accliamed trilogy, The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King, will arrive onto DVD sooner than we all expected.
The theatrical version - presented on 2 discs, with no DTS soundtrack - is rumoured to being released on 25 May 2004 worldwide (that's a Tuesday), and the extended edition will also follow this year. When exactly we don't know...some reports have stated an August 2004 release (to replace the usual theatrical version release slot), whilst others maintain the November 2004 release date that the previous two extended editions have had.
The running time of the latter edition is said to be between 4 and 5 hours, whilst the former clocks in at around 3 and a half. "

But I too really, really don't need any more Gimli comedy, or more Aragorn/Arwen scenes for that matter. Oh, well. Gotta take the good with the bad.

| Deleted User | DragonRose, that surely was the post of the day!
BTW: I hope the early release rumors are true. They might, considering that there's not a fourth ROTK movie to work on in parallell.
It makes sense that the extended scenes were cut in the theatrical release though. Jackson says they concentrated on condensing and polishing the last hour or so. The only place for a Faramir/Eowyn romance is when Aragorn reaches the black gate, and they felt it would make the regular audience lose focus of the main story and get tired if it was inserted.

Status : Offline | And while we're on the subject, do we have any ideas on what the polystone figure will be for the extended box?
I was expecting two towers (whichever two towers you happen to think Tolkien was referring to, or Peter Jackson for that matter) in the manner of the Argonath bookends we got with FOTR, for the previous one. Smeagol is cool, but not in keeping with the "book" theme set up by the book design on the DVDs and the book ends.
I think it may have something to do with Aragorn, but that might be me being too literal again with the title. Frodo possibly?

Don't think it would fit on the mantlepiece so a scale one would be fine

Now, if I could only finish work on that time machine to get my extended DVD NOW!!.... anyone have a degree in time travel?
