Though I would normally
have a good chuckle at double-dipping, I have to admit that I am a little
bit anxious to get my hands on all three of the Lord of the Rings
Limited Edition DVDs. Each film will come re-packaged with both
the standard and extended versions in an entirely new box.
Check out the box art below!
Lord of the Rings Limited Edition DVD
The Limited Edition DVDs for Lord of the Rings feature
both the theatrical and extended versions of the films plus an all-new documentary.
All three films will be released to retailer shelves on August 29th.
Disc 1
- Includes both the Theatrical version and the Extended version of the film.
- You choose which version to watch!
Lord of the Rings Limited Edition- Fellowship
of the Ring
Lord of the Rings Limited Edition- The Two
Towers
Lord of the Rings Limited Edition- Return
of the King
Disc 2
-Features a new feature-length documentary with never-before-seen "making
of" footage.
-Filmmaker Costa Botes, who was personally selected by Peter Jackson, took
a unique approach to telling the story of the cast and crew experience on
The Lord of the Rings trilogy.
-By letting the raw footage speak for itself, the result is a fascinating
telling of the challenges, training, and camaraderie that resulted in the
greatest adventure on film.
The Lord of the Rings Limited Edition comes to DVD on August
29th.
Stay tuned for updates.
Word of Advice: Try to avoid the extended version of The Two Towers. An additional thirty minutes of Treebeard almost forced me to impale myself with a tree branch. No joke.
