Extended LotR trilogy hitting cinemas in summer - Kyng - 04-25-2024

Peter Jackson’s iconic Lord of the Rings trilogy is getting a re-release in cinemas this summer.

For the first time, an extended and remastered version of each film will be available to screen at participating US theatres, including AMC, Cinemark and Regal.

This means more bang for your buck, as each extended version includes added footage, more scenes and extra dialogue that sets up future plot points and provides more insight into the Hobbits and main characters.

Jackson remastered the three films in 2020 for a 4K Ultra HD re-release to make it seem “like they were shot at the same time”.


I have to admit, I'm not quite sure why these need to be extended, since they're rather long anyway :lol: . But regardless, I'm sure the LotR fandom will appreciate them!

Do you have any interest in seeing these?

The extended editions have extra context and scenes left out; Besides, the book is still longer!

Well, if it's going to include everything from the books, then at that point, it'd be better just to make a TV series rather than a film trilogy :lol: !

Weird, I did have ideas of a six season animated adaptation but who'd want to see that?
