Some friends and myself are having the traditional “Lord of the Rings Extended Edition Marathon” again this monday, so for this I am making a rough 10hour movie cut.

its nothing too artistic like most of the fan edits, mainly just rearranging the endings, beginnings and moving a few scenes around to make the flow a little smoother.

so far i havnt found anyone else doing this, but quite a few of us have been fantasizing about it for a while, so i wonder if anyone had any ideas for any additions?

so far I have:

  • removed the final “farewell” scenes from FOTR and TTT, in exchange for their repsective “hello” scenes
  • the opening scene with gollum from ROTK has been shortened and slipped into the beginning
  • the film titles, ie “Fellowship of the Ring” etc have been removed (sadly just cut the footage out)
  • moved gandalf vs balrog form the beginning of TTT to his little speech when he appears later in the same movie
  • moved some of the arwen scenes around
  • moved gollums transformation to a later point during his speech during TTT

thats it off the top of my head.

if anyone is interested i will try and upload it as a torrent later on. its really just designed for a days slobbing around and will rarely be viewed (for health reasons!😛)
