If you can’t wait until December 2012 to see little hairy-footed adventurers and other Middle Earth denizens on the big screen, and your television isn’t sufficient for the grandeur of the impending Blu-Ray releases, the LORD OF THE RINGS extended editions are hitting theaters soon.

AMC Theatres is presenting a Director’s Cut Event of the trilogy, beginning with FELLOWSHIP OF THE RING on Tuesday, June 14th. Each of the other films will arrive a week later, which means that the ultra-lengthly RETURN OF THE KING edit will hit their screens on the same day the precious super-sized Blu-Ray box set goes on sale.
