[Child of the 7th Age]

Take a look at this....<P>Before any king can return, New Line Cinema will re-release of the first two "Lord of the Rings" pics worldwide, this time with additional scenes and footage added. <P>Just two weeks before the Dec. 17 release of "The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King" -- the final installment of the Peter Jackson-helmed epic trilogy -- the first two "Ring" entries will be unspooling worldwide. <P>In memoranda sent to exhibitors on Wednesday, New Line laid out a game plan to promote the third film by refreshing filmgoers' memories with "The Fellowship of the Ring" and "The Two Towers." <P>Plan calls for putting the films on 100-150 screens in top 10 U.S. markets. Many other U.S. cities will have one cinema participating in the special extended edition screenings. Running times for the extended editions are 208 minutes for "Fellowship of the Ring" and 214 minutes for "The Two Towers." <P>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. <P>Yipes! I wonder what the ten markets are.... This was brought to my attention by a friend.<P>See this for details: <BR><A HREF="http://www.theonering.net/perl/newsview/8/1061560805" TARGET=_blank>Movies to be released again.....</A><p>[ August 22, 2003: Message edited by: Child of the 7th Age ]
