Movie News
Here's a brief couple paragraphs from the "Big Newport" webpage.
10-24-03: The Matrix has us once again. Due to Warner Bros. plan of a synchronized worldwide release, there will be no 'sneak preview' showing of The Matrix Revolutions. The first show, as many of you already know is at 6a.m. on Wednesday, November 5th. problem.I'd love to go see the 6am Matrix Revolutions. Anyone interested? John, Chris, Marco, Sweetness, Heidi, Joe, Chris, Gregoryallen? (any chance you can make it down in time wayne oh?)In addition to the Matrix news, I have now gotten a definitive word that Big Newport will NOT be getting the 'marathon' screening of the three Lord of the Rings films. Very few theaters have received this honor and it looks as though Regal Cinemas was not lucky enough to aquire them. There WILL be a midnight screening for Return of the King, just as there has been for the last two installments.
More importantly, I'm going to do my best to find a good theater that is showing the Marathon Lord of the Rings. Now THAT will be fun. All three movies in a row! Life is good. Here's a clip from TheOneRing.net:
Starting the week of Dec. 5, the extended DVD cut of "Fellowship of the Ring" will be released in some 100 or so theaters in the U.S. and in 20 theaters in Canada.Then, the week of Dec. 12, sequel "Two Towers" will unspool, just a month after having preemed on DVD, leading up to a worldwide Dec. 16 daylong marathon, during which all three films will be shown back-to-back. Exhib guidelines call for a 3 p.m. showing of "Fellowship" followed by a 7 p.m. screening of "Two Towers" and then an 11 p.m. screening of "Return of the King," which will carry over into Dec. 17 -- the day of its global release.
