It will be blue, I think. All the merchandise to do with ROTK was blue.
Actually, that really messes with my whole view of LOTR. Let me explain; I got a boxset of the books when I was 12. FOTR was green, which fitted in well with the film and my mental view of the book. TTT is supposed to be blue and ROTK red, in the way I mentally picture them from the books I had when I was younger.
I don't know if that makes sense at all...

Yep RotK EE will be blue.
Hathy it's interesting what you say about the colours of the books. I used to have a one volume copy of the book, but the glue on the spine wore out (why do I keep mention that I break things?) so I had to buy a new copy. I got the black 3 volume set that is around mostly at the moment and it's yellow for FotR, green for TTT and red for RotK. Green for TTT seems appropriate because of Treebeard and I like the idea of yellow for the Shire because it seems a sunny sort of a place, but red just doesn't seem to sit right with me. I suppose you could argue that it's a regal colour and is like all the blood of everyone who dies, but I just don't like it. Though blue does seem even less appropriate so maybe I should just be happy with red!

Fellowship of the Ring is so green in my mind... I think of grass, and the Shire, and Hobbits.
The Two Towers is blue because it's quite a dark, cool colour and a dark shade seems full of menace, which TTT is also full of - Gollum's tension, the shady figure of Saruman and Wormtongue...
Return Of The King is red because it signifies war, and also because it alliterates. Nothing more than that!
Nice to see that other people havr the colour significance that I have...

Ah, thanks for the info!
I'm not very happy with the estimated release date, though. I was doing my little bit of research, and apparantly, a New Line representative has reported that the RotK Ex. Ed. will be released around late November, December. Although it may be good for the income, I was hoping it would be out around summer-early autumn- ish because of the early release of the Theatrical.
But the good news is: they aim to have an EXTENDED EDITION trilogy tuesday!
And what I'm guessing is that you all know all this already and I have weakened my wrists for nothing  |
