I'm finding it fascinating because it's new. The big question is, if you took this 3 hour and 40 minute version of the Two Towers and released it in the cinemas, what would people have thought of it? Everyone would have criticized it for being too long. Then I read these reviews that say this is so much better than the theatrical version. The whole pacing on the DVD seems to have a different requirement or level of commitment from the audience. You can watch it over two nights or you can pause it and make a cup of tea. Every time I think I'm spoiling the film, but I'm doing it because people want to see it and they'll see it in their home. This is going to slow the first act down. But I'm aware every time I put something in the momentum of the scene going to be slow.

So I do these extended cuts thinking that people will like to see these scenes. It's a legitimate part of the adaptation of the Lord of the Rings and you can either have it lost forever or you can put an extended cut out. It's usually related to something that's in the book. I do the extended cuts because we have 30-40 minutes of footage that people are interested in, fans of the books. We spent a whole year trying to get the best possible cut. The theatrical versions are very carefully worked out. To me every time I put a scene in it, it's mucking up the momentum. "The extended versions are interesting because I do the extended versions for the fans, really. I am leaning towards the theatrical version, primarily because of what Peter Jackson said in a 2003 interview Check out our comprehensive breakdown of the teaser both below and over here-it might only be a minute, but it's packed with tons of information and glimpses at some never-before-seen moments in LoTR canon.I'm finally going to pick up this series, but haven't decided which version to get.
