Re: UPDATE - Film HAS been released in Asia.

Chris, FOTR was edited solely to shorten the running time to under 3 hours, not for any PG ratings considerations. There were some reports about extra gore in fight scenes, but according to Peter Jackson, it was misinformation. While it's true Jackson was required to deliver a US PG13, he's stated that they were so pressed to complete shooting and budgets were so tight, there was no way they were shooting anything that coudn't make it into the final cut. As a matter of fact, the British board has already rated the extended version - it's PG. I saw the item about an R rating in several mags that should've known better - one mag printed it and the rest picked up on it without verifying with New Line or Jackson. However, the other footage that will be incorporated into the extended version (complete with new music and new digital effects) make it a must have.

The August 6 release will be 2 discs world wide with DD AND DD-EX. The info I've seen doesn't say anything about DTS - where did you pick up this info? We've been moaning on the Tolkien boards for months that FOTR won't offer DTS.
