Arizona is currently a firery pit of doom so it tracks
Live in Phoenix, can confirm.
I'm on the border of Scottsdale/Tempe/Phoenix last year and the start of this summer have been the worst I can remember
or almost Bilbo's quest. Travel to a mountain and recover a precious object and share it with people so they can exchange it for riches
I don't know half of you half as well as I should like and I like less than half of you, half as well as you deserve.
Frodo goes to the Arizona Vault to find the water chip.
Gandalf: "I'm sorry frodo, you are a hero, and you have to leave."
No, no this is exactly Bilbos quest.
Go to a mountain to retrieve a treasure guarded by a greedy entity with the power to destroy hundreds of lives with a single breath.
You've caught me a bit unprepared. I'm afraid we've only got cold chicken and a bit of pickle oh and there's some cheese here, oh no that wont do! We've got raspberry jam, an apple tart but we've not much for afters. Oh no we're all right, I've found some sponge cake! I can make you some eggs if you... oh... Gandalf?
R.I.P. Lake-town.
Someone so insightful is perfect for the task is what I’m hearing
Tbf, it would be a blessed quest to make every human gets a ring on their fingers <3
Remember when we did that Area 51 thing? We are going to Arizona, lads
Naruto runs, for the win!
They can't stop all of us.
We must recruit whoever won the Josh fight
I think it was Josh
And all they kyles
I would highly suggest y'all wait until at least December when it cools off
But for real this time
Clap Uruk-hai cheeks
Ya what was in there anyway? Some hot alien chicks into portly dudes or something even cooler?
We should start with available satellite images to narrow down our search radius.
according to this height map http://www.vidiani.com/maps/maps_of_north_america/maps_of_usa/arizona_state/detailed_elevation_map_of_arizona_with_cities.jpg we might want to start near flagstaff and start checking the different roads for random off ramps to hidden bunkers
lol are we sure he’s not referring to Iron Mountain? The massive data storage facility in Phoenix?
Iron mountain is also an indigenous name that was given to a popular mountain in the Phoenix area.
Best to check back in the winter.
And so they journeyed for days on end through the fiery haze of the desert, until their destination appeared in the horizon. Ang orod plual ered, the Iron Mountain.
listen i dont know what goes on in Arizona, i was just using the available internet data and quick google searches so we could at least get the discussion going. if its in iron mountain we still have a roadmap i provided to get there.
I am only a wizard though so i cannot take the journey alone. however when we get there, i might be able to get us into the mountain.
It's probably 90% uninteresting flubbed lines and takes.
Probably not even good enough to make an entertaining blooper reel.
Or is it actual cut footage?
Probably Tom Bombadil, fully book accurate scenes. Nothing major or anything.
Eldest, that's what I am. Mark my words, my friends: Tom was here before the river and the trees; Tom remembers the first raindrop and the first acorn. He made paths before the Big People, and saw the little People arriving. He was here before the Kings and the graves and the Barrow-wights. When the Elves passed westward, Tom was here already, before the seas were bent. He knew the dark under the stars when it was fearless – before the Dark Lord came from Outside.

I remember reading in a book that they had approximately two hours of Theoden contemplating how it will be “before the gates of Minas Tirith that the doom of men will be decided.”
2 hours of Bernard Hill just standing on a hilltop looking around like he’s thinking to himself. And out of those two hours, they picked the best 15 seconds or whatever that they felt was best for the movie. Undoubtedly there are thousands of hours of extra footage, but it’s not really going to be worth watching. And I say that as someone who has been a diehard lord of the rings fan since my father introduced me to it in the early 90s.
I think a lot of the people who are getting hyped in this thread about mountains of extra footage don’t really know how movies are made.
"2 hours of Bernard Hill just standing on a hilltop looking around like he’s thinking to himself..." - this is Tarkovsky!!!
Just because there's a lot of it doesn't mean it's good footage.
I could watch another hour of Aragorn, Legolas, and Gimli running, lol
He stands not alone. You would die before your stroke fell.
Haha most of the first half of fellowship! Same though.
1300 hours, it would be a mere few days before the fan base sifts through it and works out what's worth watching. Weeks or months later, we'd have fan edits for extra content.
I don't really care if the acting isn't as good, script not as developed, unedited etc. It's more insight into the making of the movies which I'd eat up in a heartbeat
I’ll take it!
It's more likely that most of that footage is different camera views and takes of the same scene.
Add even more garbage because some shots were done as plates and comped together. So you might have some footage of generic orcs walking around in mocap suits, or Frodo talking to a ball on a stick for eyeline, or some random stunt action that didn’t make it into the movie and wouldn’t look good without being cut together.
But with 1300 h we sure would find some gold
If there are more scenes of the helmet kicking incident it’d be worth it.
Yep, super boring and rife with bad takes.
I’m surprised they keep bad takes around, although I’m fairly sure the trilogy was still recorded on analog (correct me if I’m wrong) so they can’t easily delete and reuse things.
1300 hours of Treebeard and the Ents singing
On 300 CDs!
Some of your favourites like the Shania Twain hit “That don’t Cypress me much” or the classic Charles and Eddie “Redwood I lie to you?”
Jeff Davis and Wayne Brady looking at each other in exasperation
1300 hours of Treebeard and the Ents singing
Just kill me now
You didn’t enjoy Unchained Mallorntree by the Righteous Brothers?
It could be anything tbh. Tom Bombadil, Saruman attacking the shire, Mordor attacking Lothlorien, etc. That is exciting.

Tom, Tom! your guests are tired, and you had near forgotten! Come now, my merry friends, and Tom will refresh you! You shall clean grimy hands, and wash your weary faces; cast off your muddy cloaks and comb out your tangles!

And most of it is freestyle Tom songs.
Whoa! Whoa! steady there! Now, my little fellows, where be you a-going to, puffing like a bellows? What's the matter here then? Do you know who I am? I'm Tom Bombadil. Tell me what's your trouble! Tom's in a hurry now. Don't you crush my lilies!

Except TB was never even written into the script and there is no footage of him.
Additionally, you seem to be forgetting that these films were all done at the same time so any scouring of the Shire would've been done as b-roll for Frodo's vision in Lothlorien.
I need the footage they shot of Eowyn's wedding. I know it exists and I need to see it
This is even more valuable.
I'm 100% willing to bet on my name that it would still be better than The Hobbit
Exactly and probably most of that are unused reshoots, and many other shoots without cgi.
sold!
What that fuck did you just say?
Something that someone who knows even the tiniest bit of what film editing looks like would say
Tbh, I’d watch regardless.
A Balrog of Morgoth
hours of pippen, sam and merry crying, with sam's vest not buttoned (per the return of the king commentary talking about how they had to do the scene again.
No, they actually have 54 more days worth of unique footage. it's why it's locked into a vault. 87 takes of the same scene doesn't need to be protected.
What's down there is the stuff we are not ready for. Do you want to see smegle making love to the ring? There are 9 hours of just that if you're into it.
They have 49 hours of elve meetings, 96 hours of dwarves drinking. 630 hours of the hobbits eating, sometimes they do 3rd breakfast, did you know that?
Not all of us are ready for it. It's there waiting it's time.
it's all footage of viggo mortensen and sean astin holding their feet in pain.
You have my axe…
Now have much of it is Tom Bombadil?
Ho! Tom Bombadil, Tom Bombadillo! By water, wood and hill, by the reed and willow, by fire, sun and moon, hearken now and hear us! Come, Tom Bombadil, for our need is near us!

I will drum on this drum until it is reality:
One does not simply walk into Arizona.
We need to retake the lonley mountain and reclaim our birth right!
For Frodo...
For goodness sake CALM down!, there’s probably only 10% of good quality extra footage, that would only mean in real terms 130 hours of….WAIT! 130 hours?…..
Hey, if even 0.25% of that is actually worth watching, it's still almost three and a half hours.
Ooooh sorry, it’s actually just extra Hobbit footage!
Release the 1300 HR Peter Jackson Cut!
We need people of intelligence on this sort of mission.
Quest
Thing
They're taking the hobbits to Arizona!
It could be Elijah Wood singing the Meow Mix jingle the entire time and I’d watch it.
Already there
Found the orc!
Isengard Music plays*
Oceans 42 The secrets that weren’t kept.
And that footage is called the one piece, which started the next big pirate age. Whoever finds it will be the new Lord of the ring
I know the address of such a vault. If it is not there, it is probably next to the Lost Dutchman's Treasure
Under a mountain you say?
Raid the vault They can't stop all of us
I’m in Arizona I’ll go scout ahead
What a lucky coincidence, I live at the Grand Canyon.
I'll start digging tomorrow.
and I'm coming with you!
You don’t want to go to Arizona!
the exexexextended version
How was this leaked? I must have missed something. I do know movies trim scenes down to fit the bugeted screen allowance. But I did not know it was that much.
.... I'll bring the semi
Does anybody know if the footage is actual viable content that could add to the movies or is it just b roll and alt takes?
I would watch it even if it looked like filmed with a potato quality.
not even that would convince me to go to Arizona
Chances are that David Zaslav has already incinerated it for the tax break/lolz
I need ariZona and then I will go to Arizona
The price is on the bottle
The po-po in flagstaff have no patience for hobbitses.
Probably most of it is just bloopers.
i want a copy of these 1000 hours k thanks
In Facebook times someone now would've made a Area 51 Narutorun 2.0 kind of event, we all meet up in Arizona in Battle Armor and go 'for Frodo' before the WB Vault
All of the footage is different takes of Denethor eating that tomato.
Is it mostly just the takes that Jackson didn’t use?
The hunt for the footage!
I would
Source: trust me bro, or...?
Can we also raid the cheese caves while we’re at it?
We don't have to Naruto run, do we? I'm fat and hate running.
100% serious here: DO NOT WANDER OR HIKE THE ARIZONA DESERT IN THE SUMMER. By Ballmers' shiny head, even experienced hikers and trail blazers will tell you it's beyond dangerous to do. Shade doesn't help, a hat won't do jack, and it's all fun and games until you run out of water. It was 113°F/45°C today, and prolonged exposure to that heat will kill a person. Rescue crews save a lot of folks over the summer, but some folks never come back.
I wish they'd just release such things. But I'm sure there's some massive amount of red tape with licensing
I want the Liv Tyler At Helm's Deep cut.
By unreleased footage, he means all the takes that didn't end up in the movie. There's probably less than a few hours of actually unseen content.
"1200 hours of it is just shots of Peter Jackson picking his toes and takes where either Dom or Orlando broke wind and ruined the shot."
Still worth it.
This is It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World but for nerds IRL
Don't go to Arizona.
I mean, it's gorgeous, but god the highs next week are ALL above 110°.
Oh, King under that mountain? Who would've thought Lake Town was in Arizona of all places!
You are going to Arizone alone Mr. Random Redditor, and I'm coming with you!
Long after society collapses a band of plucky survivors will quest through the wastes to find their long lost mountain kingdom and eventually unify with the lost folk to defeat an army of mutants at the foot of that mountain.
Can we please not relive a raid Area 51 debacle again
It’ll just be re-takes of existing scenes.
Why did we try to raid Area 51 while this treasure is out there?
they can't stop all of us.
Should organise like the area 51 people. That was against military, this would be against....? A dragon in the mountain? Totally doable
You have my sword

An adventure? Now I don't imagine anyone west of Bree would have much interest in adventures. Nasty, disturbing, uncomfortable things. Make you late for dinner!
The last mega director's cut special edition I bought just added several minutes of landscape shots to each movie. Which isn't a bad thing, but I don't have hope that we'd see much of relevance (assuming this was true).
And they left it all in One Piece
I was born for this 🙌🙌
Sounds like the Uncut version, release it in 4K... only takes 32TB.
To quote the authority, "when you shoot thousands of hours of footage, it turns out that most of that footage is piss."
Take me with you brother 😭
Good luck, many of you won't survive our summer
I’m sure 80-90% of it is just various takes of scenes that we already have
Is this true?!
the adventure starts. hope there are pokemons along the way
Now we need 1300 more hours of soundtrack!
So don’t go to Arizona? ✅
It would be almost a reverse Frodo's quest. Travel to the bottom of the mountain to save the precious object and share it with the world....
