Well That's Great To hear

Wow, surprising to hear that they think they can turn around Return of the King: Extended Edition by September. ... That's a lot of work.

I guess I figured it would be November again, or possibly even December, since there's no LOTR movie to dovetail the DVD release with this year.

Either way, I won't mind waiting for another 4-disc masterpiece. It's worth the wait.

LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 8, 2004--The King makes his return in filmmaker Peter Jackson's stunning conclusion to "The Lord of the Rings Trilogy," arriving on DVD and VHS on May 25, 2004.
