Lord of the Rings Marathon
August 29th, 2003 at 8:33 pm (Movie News)
Can’t get enough Lord of the Rings? Well here is some news that should get you licking your chops. How does a theatrical run of the extended version of Fellowship of the Ring, followed by the extended version of The Two Towers and culminating in a midnight screening of the brand new Return of the King strike you? Ok, wipe your chin and read the article on www.theonering.net for details.
Starting the week of Dec. 5, the extended DVD cut of “Fellowship of the Ring” will be released in some 100 or so theaters in the U.S. and in 20 theaters in Canada.
Then, the week of Dec. 12, sequel “Two Towers” will unspool, just a month after having premiered on DVD, leading up to a worldwide Dec. 16 daylong marathon, during which all three films will be shown back-to-back. Exhibit guidelines call for a 3 p.m. showing of “Fellowship” followed by a 7 p.m. screening of “Two Towers” and then an 11 p.m. screening of “Return of the King,” which will carry over into Dec. 17 — the day of its global release.

Lord of the Rings theater marathon
Since the first LOTR movie came out, a friend and I have been talking about how cool it would be for a theater to put on an all-day Tolkien marathon once all three movies have been released. Looks like just such a thing is in the works. (via Film Roar)…

In what theatres will this marathon be playing?
Leopoldo said,

That is the question we all want to know. The list has not been announced, it is probably still being negotiated. I expect to hear a list a week or two before the show. Stay tuned…

why doesnt someone post where this is happening and when and where we cna get tickets cause i think thats what everyone really wants to know right…. =)
Leopoldo said,
September 27, 2003 at 11:14 pm
That would be because
A: The locations have not been decided or announced yet and
B: The tickets are not available yet.
If you really want to attend keep checking into www.theonering.net for news. I will also post on Geekroar.com when anything new is announced.

ME said,

just to make it easier to find, what section on theonering.net can i find the stuff about the marathon?
Leopoldo said,
September 29, 2003 at 7:49 pm
Unfortuatly they do not havfe any specific section. The best you can do really is to check in on the site from time to time.

Actually, there IS now a spot on the official website– http://www.lordoftherings.net/trilogy/trilogy_under.html (I know, I know, wierd address), and I have it on good authority (i.e. official mailings) that tickets will be available on October 9th (really soon!). I have not yet heard where one can get them, but I would assume Fandango.com and/or participating theatres, and also off the official website. That’s all I know for now… I’m still calling my theater 5 times a day to see if they’re showing it, and still getting a non-commital “probably…” darn Carmike…

Leopoldo said,

Jackson’s next is a remake of King Kong. He has expressed an interest in The Hobbit though.

I live in Canada & I just wanted to know in witch movie theaters in Canada will it play ?
Leopoldo said,
October 6, 2003 at 3:22 pm
The special Trilogy screening has only been announced for the USA. I read an article that suggested New Zealand might also get the show, but have seen no report to suggest it will show in either Canada or the UK.

Leopoldo said,

If you read the whole page, or the update made at:
http://www.geekroar.com/film/archives/000411.php
you will see that it will be show in Albuquerque
NM, Albuquerque Century Theatres Rio 24
If you read the later post at
http://www.geekroar.com/film/archives/000414.php
you will also see that tickets sold out long time ago.

That is so unfair!! Tolkien wrote LOTR just around the corner from my local cinema in Oxford and we don’t get the extended screenings!! pah.
Oxford and New Zealand should be included too.

I AM REALLY LOOKING FOR TICKETS TO THE MARATHON FOR LORD OF THE RINGS. I LIVE IN THE DETROIT, MI AREA. I KNEW ABOUT THE MARATHON BACK IN LATE JULY, AND FIGURED I WOULD BE SAFE TO GET TICKETS IF I CHECKED BACK IN A COUPLE OF MONTHS. UNLUCKY FOR ME, I CHECKED TO LATE AND MISSED THE ONLY 4 THEATERS THAT WOULD BE SHOWING THE MARATHON BY A COUPLE OF DAYS. I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR 2 TICKETS FOR WEEKS NOW, AND HAVEN’T BEEN ABLE TO FIND ANY IN MI. THE CLOSEST IS IN OHIO GOING FOR $400 ON E-BAY, AND I’M NOT THAT DESPERATE. IF ANYONE KNOWS WHERE OR THROUGH WHO I CAN GET 2 TICKETS, PLEASE LET ME KNOW. WOULD BE WILLING TO PAY ABOUT $100 FOR THE 2 OF THEM. THANKS.

OK guys, this is a film discussion blog, not a sales site. If you want to buy tickets go to Ebay, this is not the place for buy and sell.
