Has anyone seen TTT lately? Have they added a ROTK trailer yet? I saw an old post that said they started TTT trailer with FOTR sometime at the end of March 02’. ---

Peter Jackson and New Line both said there would be no ROTK trailer with TTT. ☹ ☹ ☹ ☹ ☹ ---

Although a bit old, [this site](http://www.theonering.net/perl/newsview/8/1046283908) says that there will never be a RotK trailer shown at the end of TTT. ---

I had heard that ROTK trailer would be attached to the front of The Matrix Reloaded and a trailer for Matrix Revolutions attached to the end of Reloaded after the credits. And speaking out of my ass, I wouldn’t be surprised to see the Freddy Vs Jason trailer in front of Matrix either. I expect to hear a lot of groaning and laughing, but I’m looking forward to it nonetheless. ---

When will TTT DVD be released? Surely there will be a preview there. ---

More important, when is the release of the real version of TTT, i.e. the expanded edition set similar to the FOTR set? ---

November 6, I believe, for the release of the TTT extended edition. There will be 43 extra minutes of footage in it, and expect to see lots more of Treebeard and Gollum - and huorns. ---

Oops, Dr. QtM is right, as usual. But the earlier release will have the 10 minute ROTK trailer. Should I get them both? Damn . . . . ---

I saw **The Two Towers** on April 26, which I believe was the last Saturday it was shown in NYC theaters, and there was no **Return of the King** trailer. I bought both versions of **Fellowship of the Ring** last year, but I hope to resist the urge to do the same with **The Two Towers** and just get the Extended Edition instead. After all, after buying the Extended Edition of **Fellowship of the Ring** , I never watched the regular version again. The trick to getting by between both releases is to get someone else to buy the regular edition of **The Two Towers** , and then just borrow it often 😉 ---

The trailers that will/might be attached to Matrix are… > [@](#): > > Depending on which films your local cinema is scheduled to play, you may see trailers for The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, The Last Samurai, Legally Blonde 2, Finding Nemo, The Italian Job, Bad Boys 2, 2 Fast 2 Furious, Kill Bill or Freddy vs Jason in front of The Matrix Reloaded. The one trailer everyone will be seeing is the latest for Terminator 3. from: [http://www.filmjerk.com/nuke/article491.html](http://www.filmjerk.com/nuke/article491.html) I believe T3 is actually on the Matrix reels, the rest are just contained loose in the cans, to be used at the cinema managers whim. So no ROTK for us. ---
