According to a friendly internet rumour there is going to be a new version released towards the end of the year which has over 30 minutes additional uncut footage in it. Just a rumour which i heard might not be true but id recommend checking it out before buying.

I didn't like the film so I won't be getting either. I'm not a fan of fantasy novels..

Exactly, but even with an additional 30 mins I don't think this will still faithfully represent the book. Add another 3 or 4 hours and you might be somewhere near the first book.

I felt that there was sooo much left out of the story compared to the book, but then this has already been discussed at length in other posts so no need to go on about it.

yep i don't intend to buy either version but i just wanted to make sure others didn't waste their money and then they could look up the facts themselves.

The trouble is I've waited all year for the film to be released on DVD; I'm not about to wait a further 3 months to get an extended version. If it's good enough though, I might get that one as well.

So four discs instead of two and you want it to be how much?

I really don't see what the problem with being twice as expensive as the first one that's been released, plus the fact that the makers are just cashing in on the whole thing so dont moan.

Ashley was merely pointing out that there is another release due out soon, well he said rumour but it's due out. Anyway, who cares....I know which one I'm getting and for £33 I'm not complaining :-)
