theres a nice little featurette on the quicktime site on the making of the lord of the rings trilogy. its a coo 4 minute video of some of the cast talking about making the trilogy, peter jackson discussing his thoughts, and various scenes from the return of the king interspersed throughout. if you’ve been following the trilogy for the past couple years, theres nothing new to see. but some of the clips of the cast speaking about the movie sound like they could be from the special features of the forthcoming extended edition…since none of them were seen in the prior extended editions. seven months left til the extended edition is supposed to be released. c’mon! rush yo!
and in case people werent aware, the total take for the return of the king worldwide as of today is $981.9 million. its expected to break the $1 billion marker and will be the second highest grossing movie worldwide ever, behind titanics take of $1.8 billion and ahead of the first harry potters $968.6 million. holy shit.
