is there an 35mm version of all the 3 movies extended edition?

Only FOTR extended has a 35mm scan so far.
In theory it’s possible that someone will find a TTT extended print and have it scanned.
In theory it’s NOT possible that someone will find a ROTK extended print and have it scanned, as 35mm prints were never created in the first place.

Note, I have no personal knowledge about this stuff, I’m just repeating what I’ve read from others since these scans had become available.

If ROTK Extended 35mm doesn’t exist, how come there were 35mm screenings of the whole extended editions then?

This piqued my interest and I found a blog of someone (Richard Kirkham) who attended the event. They make a note that the theater received a 35mm print of the theatrical version of ROTK and switched over to the Blu-Ray to show the extended partway through. If anything, that’s more confirmation of the above that a 35mm print of the EE for ROTK doesn’t exist.
