Return of the King Extended Edition

Details of the content of the extended edition of The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King have been released.

Unfortunately the most interesting question of all - what scenes will have been extended or inserted in the film proper - remain unanswered. I remember reading somewhere that the scene featuring the Mouth of Sauron will be reinstated, and it seems likely that the fifty minutes of additional footage will provide the space to wrap up Saruman’s story (albeit not in the way Tolkien did) if nothing else.

There’s one commentary track I’m definitely going to have to listen to:

Cast commentary also features dialogue between split-personality characters Gollum and Smeagol (Andy Serkis)!
