A few things have been revealed about scenes in the Return of the King: Extended Edition being released this December. They were released by Billy Boyd (Pippin) and David Wenham (Faramir) at the San Diego Comic-con within the past few days. - Shots of Saruman on top of Orthanc, saying things like "something festers in the heart of middle-earth" , "you are all going to die", " I want no pity or mercy!", Saruman shooting flames from his staff - Frodo/Sam/Gollum approaching the crossroads. we see sam looking at something and then there is a closeup (pics of which have already appeared online) of the statue's head and it's crown - Frodo/Sam in orc costumes marching with orcs, big orc yelling "move on!" - Merry saying "I know there isn't much hope, I know I can't do much. I'm just a hobbit. But I want to help" - Mouth of Sauron rides out, there is a closeup on his mouth as he says " I have a token I was bidden to show thee" and then he reveals Frodo's mithril vest and throws it down to the ground. then there is a closeup of Pippin who says "Frodo..." - Eowyn in bed at Edoras, Aragorn is walking away from her but before he can get too far she reaches out and takes his hand. - Eomer grieving for Eowyn (seen in theatrical trailer) - Sam in mordor looking at the dark, red lit sky telling Frodo that he sees a light. - Aragorn picks up flaming palantir and says something, probably his threats to Sauron. - gandalf riding up to witch king making threats, something about sending it into the abyss, witch king responds with his own threat while his sword becomes enflamed. - misc. new shots of the siege of gondor, orcs using small battering ram, fell beast swooping in and picking up soldiers - Eowyn fighting Gothmog (the one eyed orc captain) - Faramir telling Pippin about his childhood, Boromir, and his father. pippin says that faramir has "a different kind of strength" and that his father will see it eventually. - Eowyn and Faramir hold hands and nuzzle at the houses of healing - Aragorn/Legolas/Gimli run away from an avalanche of skulls in the paths of the dead A few more scenes on the EE revealed were the drinking contest between Legolas and Gimli, Theoden accepting Merry's services into the Rohan army, and Gandalf's battle with the Witch King. Billy also mentioned that the scene where he finds Merry on the fields of Pelennor will be different in the EE. It will show him searching throughout the day for his Hobbit pal, and finally finding him after the sun has set. I guess the digital guys were able change the same scene from day to night. Also, if people are wondering, the Mouth of Sauron is Sauron's messenger, once a Man of noble lineage, the Mouth of Sauron became little more than a puppet of flesh for his master's will. Long having forgotten his name of birth, this dark soul was no more than a vassal of the Dark Lord, his lieutenant in the field, carrying out his master's will and delivering his messages. So poisoned and corrupted by Sauron's infection was his possessed body that his mouth had become stretched and his lips cracked and riven by the evil words he uttered. He will look like this:
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO I read spoilers and then just went to the bottom of the screen and saw that picture and then yelled.
Yeah, the Mouth of Sauron is probably the creepiest thing Ive seen in any of the Lord of the Rings movies. I cant wait to see him. Supposedly Bruce Spence (voice of the shark in Finding Nemo) plays him, but thats just a rumor as of now.
Bruce Spence is doing too much. He did Matrix 3 and Star Wars 3 AND Lord Of The Rings 3. 3 is his favorite number, I bet.

I found a site that has exclusive pictures and clips of the Extended Edition!!! CLICK!!! So far, the only working download link is the KniteForce.de link.
Dont mind the double post but I typed out what I could hear in that trailer played at Comic Con. GANDALF: "Come down Saruman and your life will be spared!" SARUMAN: "Save your pity and your mercy, I have no use for it!" PJ: "You, we always thought Return of thhe king was short, so it depends on what you want in it. So naturally we had to cut some things, but we put 50 minutes back in. The 50 minutes of extra footage basically equaits to how...[SCREAMS]...because in those 50 exra minutes, there's something like 350 extra visual effects shots. Along side the movie itself is obviously our apendecies; our documenteries on the making of the film, and they to come to a conclusion, and they chat about the ending." RP: "Just like in Return of the King, there is a conclusion to what happens in the fellowship, and in this extended copy is basically the conclusion to our work and progress with these films." PJ: "The documenteries and apendecies of these extended cuts, theres a struggle with maintaining the qualtiy with what we've done in the previous films. We want our movies to be good, we want our documenteries to be good, and to just be able to share with you what we went through making these films." (Sorry the part with Billy was completely screamed out. Something about either Casts or Cats, and New Zeland) EW: "It was an amazing experience we had, and its so close to my heart, so the fans, you know, and all of us can allow the films and the experience to live on in these DVD's." SAM: "Mr Frodo, there's light, beauty up there that shadow can't toutch." MERRY: "I know it's too late to do anything. I know there was not much point in coming, too. I'm a hobbit, and I know I cant save Middle Earth. I just want to help my friends, more than anything. I wish I could it, the end." {THE CONCLUSION OF THE AWARD WINNING TRILOGY} {50 MINUTES OF NEVER BEFORE SEEN FOOTAGE} {MORE THAN 20 HOURS OF ALL-NEW MATERIAL} GANDALF: "Go back to the Abyss! Fall into the nothingness that awaits you and your Master!" WITCHKING: "This is my hour!" {THE LORD OF THE RINGS RETURN OF THE KING}
