No Scouring of the Shire makes Rictor something something...
Go crazy?
Don't mind if I do!!

[diamondgeezer]

Ph34r the Mouth of Sauron. ****er creeps me right out

[Rictor]

yup, its very well done. The Mouth is one of the few characters who I have no idea what they should look like, and this just blew me away.

[Clave]

I'm there...  This will be so good!

Oh yeah:

[Corsair]

w00t, i'm excited

[Liberator]

That was kind of a let down.

"Leave the White Wizard to me."  says the Witch King.  And then nothing, no epic battle, no exchanged insults, nothing.

You have to watch the actual extended edition for those. What's the point in extending it if you give everything away in the trailer

[Knight Templar]

Goddamnit, I already have the normal ****ing version on DVD.

[Corsair]

But you don't have the extra 50 minutes, nor do you have the three DVDs worth of special features.

[Grey Wolf]

They didn't add the Scouring of the Shire? Screw that, then. I'll sit here with my collection of LotR DVDs, none of which match. (FotR - Normal Fullscreen; TTT - Extended Widescreen; RotK - Normal Widescreen)

Why in F**k's name did you buy that? After special editions of FotR and TTT were released didn't you detect a trend?

They didn't film the scouring of the Shire so they don't have it to add. I do miss it but it would have added another 30-50 minutes to the storyline at least so there was no way it could have been in the cinema version (and therefore wasn't cost effective to film).

EDIT: Never mind.

Actually, now that I think about it, I think we only have the first two movies. Not sure why though.

[Sandwich]

Are you guys SURE they didn't film the scouring of the Shire? Towards the beginning of that clip, Saruman says "Something festers in the heart of Middle-Earth." But that scene is at the end, I believe, after the defeat of Saruon. Could he not be referring to the Shire?

Threads merged.

I heard they did; it was the ending of the Two Towers, but got cut and should have been moved to the intro of ROTK, but again gut cut from that one.

What's the UK release for this?  Might put it on me xmas list.

you're thinking of the complete confrontation between gandalf and saruman

No, I'm 100% certain it was the scouring of the Shire (i.e. had words 'scouring', 'of', and 'shire' that was mentioned as being cut and etc etc.

Because I don't have a ****ing clue what that scene actually is, and didn't at the time.

EDIt; it doesn't mean that they were right about it being added, of course.  Because I can't find anything that says it's in there, but I'm sure that's what was said (on Teletext just prior to the premiere in NZ, I think)

[Tiara]

Just pre-ordered it

Actually, I pre-ordered the Extended Edition Trilogy box €119 though

Ow, and the Scouring of the Shire *WAS* filmed but it was cut and isn't in the EE;

But the Mirror of Galadirel sequence from the first film, does show it.

[karajorma]

There's no way they'd have put the scouring of the shire anywhere in the second movie. It's completely the wrong place for it

[Rictor]

Who do I have to kill/bribe to get that section?
Seriously, we need to get some nuclear power to threaten to nuke New Zealand unless Peter Jackson releases it.

The movies won't be complete without it, though it is encouraging that at least it was filmed, so there is a chance.

What's the complete, extended trilogy going to run at, like 12-13 hours or so?

[Kazan]

the never filmed the scouring
