Rings Films Re-Released

From scifi.com:

New Line Cinema will re-release the first two Lord of the Rings movies, with additional scenes and footage, two weeks before the Dec. 17 premiere of the third installment, The Return of the King, Variety reported. New Line plans to put the film on 100-150 screens in the top 10 U.S. markets, the trade paper reported.

Other U.S. cities will have one cinema participating in the special extended-edition screenings, the trade paper reported. Advanced ticket sales are scheduled to begin in late September or early October on exhibitor Web sites and movie ticketing sites like Fandango, MovieFone and Movietickets.com.

Starting the week of Dec. 5, the extended DVD cut of Fellowship of the Ring will be released in some 100 or so theaters in the U.S. and in 20 theaters in Canada, the trade paper reported. The week of Dec. 12, the sequel Two Towers will screen, leading up to a worldwide Dec. 16 daylong marathon during which all three films will be shown back to back, the trade paper reported.
