Two Towers Extended DVD - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

BuddyHawks · 11-11-2003, 04:46 PM

It's available on November 18th.
Link
I plan on getting it.
Any thoughts on what the new scenes will be, or hopefully be?

Mr.Deflok · 11-11-2003, 05:21 PM

I'm still trying to decide whether I want the Stadard EE or the Special EE that comes with the Gollum Statue...

rogue49 · 11-11-2003, 06:57 PM

I don't know...but the FOTR extended version,
completely enhanced the story and made it more understandable.

I know that this will probably do the same.
The LOTR is a deep story and any addition will only help it.

Unfortunately, only those willing to make the investment,
and sit down for it get something out of it.

yellowgowild · 11-11-2003, 08:40 PM

I love escapist trash too, but not enough to buy another version of the same film.

Derwood · 11-11-2003, 08:40 PM

right. The extended FOTR was incredible.

I think there will possibly be the scene with the Ent Council in the EE. Other than that I can't think of anything off the top of my head.

tokaok · 11-11-2003, 09:33 PM

i holding out till 2033 for the final super duper colletion that will include all those *lost* scenes that will only befound till then.

im2smrt4u · 11-11-2003, 10:51 PM

I'm buying it. I'm skipping the Gollum statue though.

That would be the 57 disc special enhanced DVD set??? Will you be getting the one with the "One Ring" reproduction or the "Evil Lord Sauron" bobblehead?

I'm with tokaok. I'll just save my money till after the special extended version of Return of the King comes out and they re-release the whole set. I assume the people who are marketing this attended the George Lucas School of Audience Swindling

MahlerIsGod · 11-12-2003, 01:50 AM

Can't wait! I just preordered mine from Amazon. I am so excited that I think I will watch the 2disc set now. God I love this movie.

bundy · 11-12-2003, 03:19 AM

i will have this as soon as it comes out here.

aphex140 · 11-12-2003, 03:33 AM

Hope fully more of the battle/masscre of the orcs by the trees at helms deep, and the battle scene

There is no comparison. When the movie-version DVD of the first Ring was released, they also announced the date that the Extended version would be released. Nothing secret about it; it just takes longer to put all the pieces and special effects together to make the extended version.

Now that would be a dust collector that even I would have to get.

VitaminH · 11-12-2003, 08:46 AM

I've been holding out for the EE and its driving me nuts. Did the same with the FoTR. Can't wait...must preoder now...

m2k · 11-12-2003, 10:39 AM

I plan on getting it next week but I'm not gonna watch it anytime soon.

I got Trilogy Tuesday tickets so I'll just hold out until then!

Batman976 · 11-12-2003, 11:15 AM

I'm pretty sure that Peter Jackson has said there will be no new versions after the extended. So those of you waiting for a super-duper delux edition are wasting your time. Might as well pick up whatever version you want now.

And like redlemon said, the extended dvds were announced at the same time as the theatrical versions. There is no use in saying they're trying to scam us out of more money. You should save that for studios who announce special editions years after the original dvd was released.

BuddyHawks · 11-12-2003, 11:49 AM

I hope they have more scenes for Eomer/Eowen.
And More Ents.

archer2371 · 11-12-2003, 12:13 PM

Well I know that there is some more background for Boromir and Faramir when they are in Minas Tirith. There are more Ent scenes. The part from the book about Merry and Pippin finding the food storage place when Isengard has been flooded is in there. Also, if you've played The Two Towers video game, the scene where Aragorn and Gandalf are talking at the end about how Sauron fears the Heir of Isildur is in there, I don't remember any more.

Moobie · 11-12-2003, 01:18 PM

There wasn't a whole lot of stuff that got cut from the book, other than than Gandalf and Aragorn and Co. going to Isengard, Merry and Pippin smoking and the whole Faramir story. Which actually I really want them to put the Faramir from the book into the movie, cause Faramir in the movie was a dick.

God I've been waiting so so very long for this.....

SAM821 · 11-12-2003, 01:27 PM

cant wait... Best Buy, here i come!

the whole battle of helm's deep "rescue" was changed. in the book the
forest came to help out, rather than extra rohan calvary.

MahlerIsGod · 11-12-2003, 06:18 PM

Only $1800!!!!!!!!!!! What a bargain. Does anyone know where I can buy it? I may have to mortgage the house but it will be worth it!

mattevil · 11-12-2003, 06:24 PM

spoilers

A new opening scene, after Gandalf's fall in Moria, in which we see Sam and Frodo climbing down a rocky crevasse using the Elven rope (the title The Two Towers now appears at the start of this scene).

Sam and Frodo getting rained on in the mountains as Gollum watches from a cliff above them.

Gollum's good and bad selves fighting over whether or not to lead Sam and Frodo to Mordor.

The Orcs arguing about their orders, and Pippen asking them to give a wounded Merry some water.

More of Saruman the White overseeing the construction of his Orc army, including his ordering the destruction of Fangorn Forest to fuel his furnaces, as well as the Wildmen pledging allegiance to him.

More of the villages of Rohan being plundered by the Wildmen.

Éomer finding a mortally-wounded Théodred at the scene of a great battle with Saruman's Orcs.

More of Gríma Wormtongue banishing Éomer from Rohan.

More of the Orcs fighting over whether or not to eat Merry and Pippin, including the realization that they believe the two Hobbits are carrying the Ring.

Gollum complaining of his hunger in the Dead Marshes, eating a worm and playing on Frodo's knowledge of the Ring.

Leoglas talking about the trees in Fangorn Forest, and how Elves first raised them into intelligent creatures long ago.

More of Gandalf the White's return in Fangorn, in which he talks about what's happening in Edoras and how, because of Merry and Pippin's arrival in the forest, the Ents are going to wake up and fight.

Treebeard reciting Ent poetry to Merry and Pippin, which puts them to sleep.

Gandalf telling Aragorn about events to come on the way to Edoras: "Sauron fears what you may become." Gandalf says Sauron doesn't suspect that the plan is to destroy The Ring rather than use it.

Merry and Pippin drinking a potion in Fangorn that causes them to grow, then getting trapped in the roots of a tree until Treebeard saves them.

Treebeard telling Merry and Pippin why there are so few Ents left - they've lost the Ent wives.

Wormtongue spitting on Aragorn's outstretched hand before he escapes after being spared in Edoras.

Théodred's funeral at Edoras, with Éowyn singing in tribute of her cousin.

Aragorn calming a horse named Brego in the stables of Edoras with Elvish talk, as Éowyn watches.

Saruman grumbling about Gandalf's reappearance, then learning of Aragorn's existence from Wormtongue.

King Théoden promising that they'll return to Edoras before leading his people to Helm's Deep.

More of Faramir capturing Frodo and Sam.

Aragorn and Théoden talking about Éowyn on the road to Helm's Deep.

Aragorn and Éowyn talking about his great age over a bowl of bad stew.

Extended flashback moments of Aragorn and Arwen together in Rivendell.

More intense footage of the battle with the Warg Riders.

Éowyn checking on the meager food stores upon arrival at Helm's Deep.

More of Faramir telling Sam and Frodo of Boromir's death, and of finding the Horn of Gondor broken.

A major new flashback scene in which we see Boromir and Faramir after reclaiming Osgiliath for Gondor. We learn that their father, Denethor, disapproves of Faramir. Denethor tells Boromir about a meeting that's been called by Elrond in Rivendell. Denethor suspects that the Ring has been found. He sends Boromir to the meeting, with instructions to bring the Ring back to Gondor to save their people.

Faramir's men beating Gollum briefly before questioning.

Aragorn and Éowyn talking before the battle of Helm's Deep. Éowyn says she wants to fight at his side, and basically admits that she loves him.

More of the Ent council in the woods - it's already night, but the Ents have only just finished saying "Good morning" to each other.

Much more intense footage during the battle at Helm's Deep.

The trees of Fangorn Forest marching to Helm's Deep, to get revenge on the Orcs.

The Orcs fleeing Helm's Deep, only to be swallowed up by the trees which have blocked their escape.

A very funny moment between Legolas and Gimli in which they brag to each other about the number of Orcs they've each killed in the battle. The result? A tie (sort of).

Merry and Pippin discovering a pantry filled with food after the battle at Isengard.

And finally, Faramir leading Frodo and Sam out of Osgiliath. Sam tells Faramir that he's finally shown his quality - the very best. Faramir threatens Gollum as to what will happen if the Hobbits come to harm. As they depart for Mordor, Sam is kind to Gollum for the first time, telling him that Frodo only meant to save him by letting Faramir's men take him prisoner.
