The Official Lord of the Rings website has posted a trailer for the upcoming Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King Extended Edition DVD, to be released on Dec. 14^th^!

Over fifty new minutes of footage, including the Mouth of Sauron, the taking of the Black Ships, Saruman’s demise, Gandalf confronting the Witch King…and, as they say, much, much more.

I’m so jazzed about this.

The weekend it comes out, Prairie and I are planning on taking a full day to kick back and watch the entire Extended Edition trilogy from beginning to end. Somewhere around 12 or 13 hours all told, I think.

And, if you haven’t bothered to pick up the Extended Edition versions of the first two films in the trilogy, instead waiting for the inevitable box set release — wait no longer! All three Extended Edition releases in a single box set, and it’s only \$80 from Amazon. Not bad at all, really.

If I didn’t already have the first two, I’d snap it up. As it is, though, I’ll be quite happy just to get the third and see all the new goodies. The hard part will be waiting to watch it until Prairie’s here on the weekend!
