ROTK Extended Edition new scenes revealed

Peter Jackson couldn’t make it himself (he’s off somewhere building a giant monkey), but the jolly auteur sent Billy Boyd and David Wenham along to Comic-Con in his place to unveil something rather special. After announcing that nearly 50 minutes of new footage has been incorporated into The Return of the King: Extended Edition, the LOTR contingent treated the crowd to a four-minute preview. Needless to say, it was the equivalent of an Ent-filled dream come true for the Hobbit fanatics in attendance.

One of the most highly anticipated new scenes features the return of Christopher Lee’s Saruman. The actor was visibly peeved at being cut from the theatrical cut, but should soon be appeased, as the restored confrontation at Isengard looks like it could be a trilogy highlight. Not least because Gandalf and Saruman exchange insults as only wizards can — with bloody huge balls of flame.

Elsewhere, there’s more business with the Palantir, hideous über-minion The Mouth of Sauron making an appearance in front of the Black Gate, Gandalf coming face-to-face with the Witch King (a moment that appeared in the theatrical trailer but not the film) and Aragorn, Legolas and Gimli being assailed by an avalanche of skulls within the Paths of the Dead.

But the focus isn’t purely on the action. He may have added hundreds of SFX shots to the movie, but the preview suggests that Jackson is equally concerned with deepening the characters. One new scene sees Faramir and Eowyn begin to fall in love within the Houses of Healing, while another takes in a touching moment between Pippin and Faramir as the pair dress for battle. However, rumours that the director has tacked a celebratory sing-a-long onto the end of the movie — with Boromir and Theoden looking on in ghostly form — are probably untrue.

Weighing in at a frankly gargantuan 250 minutes (approx.), the Extended cut is due out in late November, accompanied by the usual commentaries and exhaustive extras.

Io' deja am luat-o la valeee. :shock:
