Oh!

THAT...“Return of the King.”

For Christmas release, no less.

But surely, Mr. Lee has to be included this time. It would be an outrage if he, a consummate, distinguished thespian of undeniable class and pedigree were to be denied participation in the new, exxxxxxtended version of this, the ultimate kiddie-shit classic of all time. What will they manage to “extend?” Our disbelief that this was the “best” Hollywood could come up with?

Was he in the ONE scene where real actors actually interacted for longer than 10 seconds with something other than blue-screen special effects?

May the farce be with him. :>)
Hassel, that is the theatrical version, not the extended edition. From what I've read on the 'Net, I keep remembering Nov 2004 for the Extended edition of Return of the King. It's supposed to add the missing Christopher Lee footage, and may clock in somewhere at 4 or 5 hours. Wow!
Again, whats the deal on the missing footage? e.g. What character did christopher lee play in lotr ROTK ?
