Return of the DVDs and Awards
Wizard News reports that Peter Jackson has finished cutting the extended edition of Return of the King and it clocks in at an impressive 4 hours and 10 minutes, adding almost fifty minutes extra footage to the theatrical release. Perhaps this early completition will allow an earlier than expected release date for the DVD? Of course, marketing the theatrical and then extended versions will require a reasonable gap, so I guess I won't be holding my breath! Also, The Director's Guild of America has given its top award to Peter Jackson for Return of the King. As the Australian has noted, on six times in fifty-six years has the Best Director Oscar not aligned with the Director's Guild Award, so Jackson's status as front-runner is now absolute! (For more on the Director's Guild Awards, see the Hollywood Reporter).
