I'll probably get both.
, but that'll be good for the DVD. There's a bunch of good scenes."The emphasis is, of course, mine - but it makes my point. Fears about pacing are not as relevant when viewing at home, where people can enjoy the film at their own pace - stopping and starting at their own pace. The same is probably true about sub-plots which are often cut from final movies - again at home people can stop and review scenes if required. And finally, the home viewing experience is likely to include repeat viewings making additional character setpieces and interactions more rewarding than they would be when viewed only once in a cinema.
I urge anyone who is considering not buying the theatrical version in August to do so. Not only will they be purchasing a documentation of a milestone in moviemaking history, but when compared to the later extended release they will have the means to compare, contrast and learn how Jackson created a unique film for each intended viewing experience.
If you seem to have problems purchasing the 'same' film twice, look at it this way: The second disc of the theatrical release will likely contain supplements not to be found on the later release so just look at both releases combined as being one supersized 6 disc boxset, with the original theatrical cut of the film being nothing more than another supplement.
Anyone know if they're doing the mail-in rebates again this year? With those, the original doesn't even cost very much.that would only work for u lucky US and Canadian citizens not for the rest of the world (esp UK and Europe) with all the money the studios get from LOTR they really could do it.
Then again the TC will cost max 16-17quid / 25€ /25$
which is still allright (well for europe)
We're thrilled to reveal the release date of The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers on British DVD! Entertainment in Video tells us the middle chapter of Peter Jackson’s phenomenally popular epic will be provisionally available to buy on 30 June.
Late June will see the 179-minute theatrical cut arrive on a two-disc set. As part of its raft of extras, which stands to include mini internet documentaries and television specials, it may even carry a preview of the third and final installment, The Return of the Kind, in UK cinemas this December.
The main DVD event for The Two Towers will happen in late 2003. A stunning four-disc extended version is tipped for release in November. Anticipate more thrilling, romantic and funny scenes between the huge ensemble of heroes and villains. Prepare yourself for exclusive documentaries charting the 600 effects shots from start to finish, the amazing production designs by Weta Workshop craftspeople and spotlights on the groundbreaking, completely CGI’d characters of Treebeard and Gollum, the treacherous yet sympathetic creature who stole the show for many”
