[Slashdot] After months of speculation and a few low-quality bootleg video clips, we finally get some official video from New Line. The Official Lord of the Rings Site has a preview of the upcoming Return of the King EE in Quicktime format. Here are direct links to the small version (4 MB) and large version (9 MB). Highlights include Voice of Saruman, Mouth of Sauron, Houses of Healing, and Aragorn confronting Sauron. Released date is December 14, and you can pre-order now. (For those of you who can’t get enough spoilers, here’s a site describing all anticipated new scenes on the DVD).

I certainly have to add this to my upcoming DVD purchase list.

Ya know, I’m such a sucker - I’ve bought both the theatrical release (the day they came out) and extended editions (the day they came out) of each of the Lord of the Rings movies. It’s just one of those movie series that you have to have right now (unlike the last Matrix film).
