I have also heard this. Well, not this exactly but I heard that the Scouring of the Shire will be cut. It pains me to hear this. I think PJ said it will not be included but I can't remember why.

That sucks! the bit at the end when the hobbits fight is so cool, if they cut that then it will greatly lower the films reputation, and a lot of people will not repect PJ as much. Who does he think he is, cutting out that part!?

Well, I guess from a filmmaker's standpoint, it makes sense??
I mean, that would have added at least another half hour, if not more to the movie, making it like a 4 hour movie..they had to cut something out, you know? Not saying it's a good idea, or justified in any way, I think it's a terrible idea as well..
(I remember reading it in an article that a friend had sent me..I'll try to find it for you all..)

It is fitting a 1000+ page book into 3, 3 hour segments. It can be pretty hard to stick to the book ALL the time. Yes I think C.L is getting cut, but after all I like the films and P.J did everything right, (Except he could have left the Elves out of Helms Deep).

I'm sure he could have cut something less important out though, because they bit where the hobbits finally stand up for themselves is amazing. I'l have to see it before i judge it though or it might even be on the 4 set extended dev, who knows i've booked my ticket!

That's the thing- I forget if they said it's in the extended edition or not, but it probably should be. I'll agree it is a great part of the story, and shouldn't be cut out, but sometimes things that people don't want to do have to be done..

I heard that the shire scene only lasted 10 mins, and that they might put it in the 4 set dvd. i hope they do.

10 minutes is NOT long enough for the whole of that scene. It has to be half an hour or none. (Hopefully half an hour ) This is a sad topic. I need to reply to a few more topics to cheer myself up.

i think there was no need for a Saruman in ROTK, they made a good job with it.

When the dvd set comes out of the trilogy youll probably get a much longer movie so youll get to see the sire scene anyhow
