The Two Towers Extended version

Slightly OT (for which I apologise) but I couldn't be bothered to start a new thread for this.

Is it true that Christopher Lee's scenes have all been cut from the RoTK and he was only told about in an email from PJ?

As for TTT EE - bought my copy before work. Gonna watch when I get home at ten pm. As it's only 6pm now this day is just dragging and dragging and dragging and dragg....

I don't know about the email thing, but the rumor going around is that Lee's scenes were indeed cut from the theatrical release, but that they will be in the ROTK:EE DVD later next year.

IIRC, PJ's reasoning was that he didn't want to spend 20 minutes wrapping up TTT; he wanted to move straight into ROTK storylines.

Personally, I think Saruman is effectively out of the picture as of the end of the TTT:EE movie, so I'm not bothered by him not being in the theatrical release, esp. knowing his fate will be covered in the EE.

I haven't received my copy yet, but I'm reliably informed that the Andy Serkis / Gollum MTV Awards speech is an Easter Egg in the Scene Selections menu.

It is and the speech is a scream

Really? How do you access it?

**Ramage** · 11-21-2003, 10:12 AM

Access the scene pretty much the same way you got to the Easter Eggs on the previous film:

1) Chose Chapter Selection on Disc 1

2) Go the the last entries

3) Highlight the last scene on the disc

4) Move your mouse around to the left of the hand and a small gold ring will appear

5) Click on ring. See Andy, Gollum, & Smeagol accept award

Pretty funny, but not nearly as good as the Council of Elrond parody

Oh... so it´s only accessible via a DVD-Rom computer.

Too bad for me, it seems. Better get one of those!

No, you can still access it. When the ring appears, hit the enter key on the remote.

Worked fine for me... and the scene is a hoot!

Oh, yeah. I can hear all the Tolkien Purists (if they ever bought the DVD) rise up and cheer when Gollum screamed, "And you, Peter Jackson, my precious, you're a [bleeping] hack!"

BTW, the easter egg is on Disc 1, go to "Select a Scene" for the chapters, select "29-30", and hit the down arrow button until you see the One Ring appear. Hit Play/Enter for the Gollum's acceptance speech.

WARNING: Not suitable for children, even though expletives have been bleeped out.

The Easter Egg in FotR was even worse... but histrionically funny!

And it was?

**REG** · 11-23-2003, 01:08 PM

At least FOTR have two Easter Eggs.

TTT appears to have only one.

I was hoping they included a ROTK trailer.

**Phantom** · 11-23-2003, 01:12 PM

If that Jack Black atrocity is the best idea they can come up with for an Easter Egg, then I can do without.

They had a trailer for ROTK on the original DVD release.
