Cita:Well, just got off the phone from my source in New Line:

1 The announcement will be made in 2-3 weeks, once they are confident they can "get all the assets in place" on the day in question.

2 It will definitely be in December, not November. Any website quoting an exact date is just guessing.

3 It will be a worldwide release, but with a few countries being 1-2 days later.

Cita:Before we go, we've got one great piece of news for you today. New Line has officially announced the DVD release of their 4-disc The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King - Special Extended DVD Edition for 12/14 (SRP $39.99). The set will include more than 50 minutes of new footage added back into the film and many, many hours of audio commentary and documentaries on the production (we'll post a complete list when it becomes available). Also on 12/14, you'll be able to buy the Collector's DVD Gift Set of the film (SRP $79.92) that includes the 4-disc DVD along with an exclusive Minas Tirith keepsake box and an exclusive bonus DVD - Howard Shore: Creating The Lord of the Rings Symphony

Cita:From New Line Cinema writes: There is an error that Video Store magazine ran in their current issue and they are printing a retraction next week. If you could kindly pull the Celebriel post and note this retraction we would be most grateful! Thanks!

Cita:We certainly expected this... New Line has announced that the 4-disc Special Extended DVD Editions of The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring, The Two Towers and The Return of the King will all be available in a single box set on 12/14 (SRP $119.97). So if you haven't gotten them yet, here's the perfect chance. Basically, the three separate 4-disc sets will be packaged together in a new outer slipcase. There's nothing new in this release - no exclusive bonus discs or anything. This is just a way to sell all the Extended Editions in one package for those who may wish to purchase them that way.
