According to the BBFC the UK version is about 10-15 mins longer.So the burning question, If i run a UK print where do i put my interval (tower projection).
Posted by Charles Everett (Member # 889) on 11-28-2001, 05:16 PM:
Running length is 178 minutes per Variety (via Upcoming Movies).
Posted by Darryl Spicer (Member # 711) on 11-29-2001, 12:49 PM:
Note: you are going to get varying running times on this one....Supposedly there is a Directors cut and then there will be the standard theatrical cut....The directors cut from what I have heard thru the grapevine is intended for special screenings and DVD only....
Posted by Tal Marks (Member # 175) on 11-29-2001, 05:51 PM:
I was told by theatre management that the runtime for our screening was 2:45. Since none of them actually watched the film, they probably called the 'home office'. But come Dec. 19th with at least 15 minutes of trailers...
Posted by John Wilson (Member # 269) on 12-04-2001, 06:15 PM:
IMDB has it at 178 mins which is also what we have been told.

It has an interesting false name: "changing seasons". I making up the movie today (7 copies) for special show to the owners of the cinema chain and i was confused about that name however i reminded that it was shipping a false name (thanx tal).
Posted by John Wilson (Member # 269) on 12-15-2001, 07:13 PM:
I may be just being picky here but there is a reason for the false name. I really don't think it's such a good idea to actually post the false name.Just my two cents...
Posted by Brad Miller (Member # 2) on 12-15-2001, 08:23 PM:
Normally I would be with you John, but at least over here in the US the cans have both the fake name AND the real name on the cans. So I ask, what's the point in THAT??? 
Posted by German Marin (Member # 918) on 12-16-2001, 06:56 PM:
In my country the cans has the real name and the fake name is in the film, I don't understand the reason for all that security if i already saw a copy in VHS tape.
I'm realy sorry about type the fake name here but everyone of us know that name and i was too confused at the moment of make up the movie.
Last Saturday we showed "The Lord of Rings" and we got 7 of 9 reels friday night and the last 2 reels we got it on saturday morning.

For those interested with Tower projection like myself, I have found out from the UK distributor that the Intermission is to be at the end of reel 3. Precise time was unable to be given, also an Intermission title will not be supplied.
Posted by Steve Anderson (Member # 364) on 12-18-2001, 10:39 AM:
The print we received has the cans marked with the real title and reels marked with the fake title. Also the tech sheet has 178 listed as the running time and there is an attached trailer.

Just to clarify if anybody is reading this in a few years time, this thread is talking about the first of the trilogyLord of the Rings - The Fellowship Of the Ring
released at the end of 2001

Tower projection Intermission (UK).Reels 1 - 3 runs 61 minutes.
Reels 4 - 9 runs 117 minutes.
Posted by Michael Brown (Member # 890) on 02-07-2002, 07:07 AM:
I will be running this tower in a few months. I've watched the film without an intermission twice and i'm thinking of having my intermission at the end of reel 5. Rather than doing that part 1 - 1 hour, Part 2-2 hours arrangement.
To me finishing at the end of reel 3 is just too short.
But i'll see how i go on. 
Posted by Bernard Tonks (Member # 809) on 02-08-2002, 03:22 PM:
Michael,The Intermission at the end of reel 3 works very well. However I have timed it for you at the end of reel 5 as follows.
Reels 1 - 5. 104 minutes.
Reels 6 - 9. 74 minutes.
Posted by Greg Mueller (Member # 17) on 02-08-2002, 04:01 PM:
Personally I would have loved and intermission after the first 2 hours, my butt got so tired. I could have used a restroom break and so could the rest of the audience, judging by the amount of people that went in and out in front of me.

The replacement reel 9 is titled "A Glimpse of the future" on the leader.--jhawk
Posted by Michael Brown (Member # 890) on 04-19-2002, 03:36 PM:
I'm should be running this mid May. I wonder what reel 9 I will get?
Posted by Jonathan M. Crist (Member # 413) on 04-22-2002, 12:17 PM:
New Line reports that a several prints have been returned with the original reel #9 in the can and the replacement reel seems to have "disappeared".
Posted by Bernard Tonks (Member # 809) on 04-22-2002, 01:54 PM:
Michael,About 10 days before your playdate give the print manager of Entertainment Film Distributors a call. David Le Beau you will find helpful, and will see that you receive the new version reel 9 (and maybe a good copy). It will pay you to have a chat with him on: 0207 930 7744.
Posted by Scott Norwood (Member # 30) on 01-19-2003, 06:11 PM:
At least one print in current circulation from Criterion Pictures (not shipped from ETS) has the "new" R9. Does anyone know about other prints in current circulation?
Posted by Michael Brown (Member # 890) on 01-20-2003, 02:40 AM:
I didn't manage to ring David, but my print had a 'Glimpse to the Future' reel 9 anyway.

Lord of The Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring
Director's Cut (Extended Edition)
Warner Bros Print Library
Print 31
11 Reels
Scope
SRD/DTS (No discs included)/SDDS/SR High Magenta
*Edited to include print condition at the request of forum members*
*Changeover only booking stipulation for this print*
Image is excellent with no major dirt or scratching. Dolby tracks perfectly throughout.
All reels have 23-24 frames following the changeover cue.
Reel 3's reference frame has only 3 perfs. A frame and one perf of black slug have been added to the head to ensure consistent framing from countdown to picture.
At least 50 feet is missing from the tail of Reel 11, causing the credits to end abruptly near the "Reprise Records" logo.
