alexpgpIt had to happen.
The folks behind the LOTR films have arranged for all three films to be shown back-to-back-to-back at a limited number of movie houses nationwide (the full story is on /.) That's something like 10 hours of film, with intermissions, one hopes.
You'll be able to indulge in such fancy in only two towns in Colorado: Denver and Colorado Springs. In Houston, this extravaganza will take place at the Regal Cinemas Marquee Stadium 23, which certainly does not sound like the name of a theater complex, but that's my problem, I suppose.
In any event, tickets go on sale tomorrow, according to the official LOTR site. I'm under the impression that the last film is slated for release in December, nie?
Cheers...
UPDATE: Apparently, the marathon will be a one-time only event, on December 16. It will follow seven days of showings of the "special extended edition" of the first film, followed by four days of showings of the "special extended edition" of the second film. Obviously, the backers of this series of films are looking to have a pretty sweet year, financially, and I wouldn't be surprised if they don't get one.
