From IGN;
The following tidbits have come in during the day. While we try to confirm the rumors with an official word from the studios, we thought we'd pass these snippets along, since they will undoubtedly make your weekend.
Paramount in the UK will release Star Trek: The Original Series - The Complete First Season on August 30 in an eight-disc set with 29 episodes from the series. No word yet on the extras. The second season will come out on November 1 and the third season is due on December 6th.
New Line's Senior Vice President of Marketing, Matt Lasorsa was recently interviewed by TheOneRing.net and had this to say about LotR on DVD.
He said that because of award season earlier this year, Peter Jackson was away from New Zealand and could not cut an extended version of the film, hence the late delivery of RotK. Plus, the cast and crew were scattered all over the world, so it took longer to get everyone together for the extras.
Among the new scenes in the Extended Edition of Return of the King are: the story of Faramir is shown in greater detail, there are returning characters and new characters, such as Saruman after the flooding of Isengard and the Mouth of Sauron at the Black Gate. Much of the new footage contains extra dialogue and action to further elaborate on each character's personal journey.
A Gift Set will be revealed in July.
*This one is for you Gaim .....
Finally, if there is ever a super duper trilogy box set with all three extended editions, it will be "at least 2 years away - 2006 or beyond." They want to use never-before-seen content, and until The Return of the King EE is done, they won't know what they have.
DavisDVD.com has a report on Buena Vista's Region 2 (Japan) fall release schedule. Of interest: Hidalgo on August 16, Kill Bill Volume 2 on October 11, The Ladykillers on October 25, Mulan: SE, Mulan II, Aladdin: King of Thieves and The Return of Jafar all November 1. That's a mighty long lag on Kill Bill. When we get the official U.S. release dates, you'll be the first to know.
