This blog (highly recommended by the way) has asked a good question - when will Warner Brothers announce the release of the extended dvd of BoTFA?

Trying to reconcile the R rating? Peter Jackson/WETA/Howard Shore still working on it? Warner Brothers not liking what Peter Jackson is saying in the Director's comments?

Your guess?

The rumor is that they're not releasing it on dvd until a special short extended edition theatrical release. Perhaps that is why.

"Short extended", that's a paradox onto itself. We're talking about a movie here not male genitals!

"Short extended"

I think I just found my design project-timeline blowout catch phrase.

Looking forward to this full version though - perhaps actually see where the heck the battle goats came from for one thing?

I believe he was referring to a 'short' release of the 'extended' edition in cinemas (which several people involved have mentioned, Richard Armitage among them), rather than the release of a cut that is longer than the original theatrical release, but shorter than a proper EE. I think I saw the other day that the EE has around 20 minutes of extra footage.

I just ordered the extended version on blu-ray today. I forgot that I only had the cinema release version. A spot of completionist OCD there folks
