LOTR Fans look in...

ThreadKiller

Strer century will be showing the "Special" extended versions of the first two films coming up to the release of ROTK.

Two weeks before - FOTR
One Week Before - TTT
The Day before (this is the biggie) - a once off back to back showing of the two films ending at midnight the 16th/17th at which point they'll show ROTK

I'm reckoning thats probably an arse numbing eleven hours...

Are tickets on sale for this marathon? :cool:

ThreadKiller

For those in the know... dunno how much though

Bannor

Those in the know?

Does that mean if you know about it? Or if you know somebody at Ster Century who knows about it?

ThreadKiller

You have to ask for tickets for "the book" the get the trilogy

Bannor

I see... thanks for the info. Now I have to go round people up for the experience.

I remember going into the old Ambassador cinema when Return of the Jedi was released and watching a special showing of the trilogy back to back.It took 7+ hours...we had all overdosed on sugar by the end?(red bull did not exist then) hint bring a cushion as your ass will go numb after 10+hrs of LOTR:-)

hmm. This would be pretty cool. But what format would fotr and TT be in ? Is there a 35mm release of the extended versions?
They're hardly gonna blow up a dvd to cinema screen size now are they....

I will be in new york city for opening night of ROTK at lowes theatre time square, I hope it will be as good as it was for THE TWO TOWERS last year. :ninja:

They couldn't show it at midnight publicly.

That would get them banned from showing New Line films for life.

The release is probably 2pm December 17th. That's a worldwide release date/time like Matrix Revolutions.

Sorry to disappoint ye!

ThreadKiller

Actually they can, New line isn't going to ban Ster century for anything, they're a huge player in the global market.

Besides, If you knew the right people you could have seen Matrix in one of three Dublin cinemas a full week before the "GRD"... & I'm not talking about the press show.

The prints are delivered to the cinema a maximum of a full ten days (absolute minimum four days) before it's "street date".

Graveyard shows have been going on for years here.

halenger

Well I wouldn't call them public showings.

Those are meant to be for staff only in general.

Well sure whatever they do they do. We'll see...
