The Lord Of The Rings - Unreleased Scenes (NEW 2022 Compilation) 

I've worked a very long time on this. Please help in making this compilation known to as many fans as possible!

-What about the extended edition? -You've already had it -We've had one yes What about second extended edition?

Just hand us all the footage, Peter. All of it. We want it. All the auditions, all the rehearsals, the fittings, the extended scenes, deleted scenes, outtakes, everything. We want it. We do.

I think I'm quite ready for another extended edition.

You know it was the golden era of movies when deleted scenes are better than entire modern movies. :D

I swear I'd watch a 15-hours lenght trilogy if they drop it on me any day. I can't have enough.

We’ve had one, yes, but what about second extended edition?

After Amazon, I realized how damn lucky we are this absolute gem was made 20 years ago. Late enough to look good forever and early enough not to be corrupted.

The LOTR community is unmatched and so is the story. Crazy how so many people can be so strongly invested in a 20 year old trilogy, just proves how incredible Tolkien’s and Jackson’s work really is

Seriously can we start a petition for the completely uncut trilogy? I don't care if it is 30 hours long.

It’s so heartwarming and an extraordinary thing to have such a huge fan base 20 years later. It’s a testament to the quality and love put into these movies.

The fact that I went from "I'll give this a look" to actually watching the whole video, is a real testament to the quality of this film. This is also really well put together, so thank you.

Peter Jackson, if you happen to read this, please, for the love of Tolkien, don’t cut a single thing in your 25th Anniversary Edition! I don’t care if each of the 3 movies is 10 hrs long! The more the better, can never get enough of the best trilogy ever made 💕🙏🏼 Edit) correction for spellcheck :)

I'd so much wish for an uncut version of all 3 movies. No matter how long they'd be... 20 hours per movie? No problem... that's two movies per weekend to watch. :D

It's astonishing the impact these movies had when unreleased/uncut footage like this is still just so entertaining to watch.

There's so much I want to see! Sauron making the Ring, Gil Galad dying, Eowyn fighting... PLEASE PETER JACKSON GIVE US THE 16 HOURS TRILOGY WE DESERVE

Neat detail: When Gil-Galad yells "Gorthaur!" he's using an old Elvish name for Sauron, from the time when the Elves fought Sauron's master Morgoth. He's challenging Sauron to battle.

I loved it when Miranda Otto shared that photo of Eowyn and Faramir's wedding costumes. Heard about that scene for years and then finally got a look at it. Such amazing costumes! We deserve to see that one day. I'd love a whole book just on the costumes in the films, very sad we never got one.

Any way we can send this to Peter Jackson. The fans wouldn't mind each movie being 10 hours long. Excellent work. Thanks for this.

To gather all this material and to do the research of what was cut out (and finding audio clips of people confirming the edited/deleted scenes) must of been a Herculean task. Great job, man! Wonderfully edited and it's all very focused and clear! btw, I heard on the audio commentary of the extended cut of TTT & TROFK - that Jackson kept saying "Oh, we'll put that scene in the 25th anniversary or the 30th anniversary edition" - sounded like he was joking and playing - but maybe not - I hope Jackson and his team will release a super deluxe edition of all of this material - the entire trilogy will be like 10 hours long - which I believe fine by all of us!

Please Peter Jackson, do the FULL COMPLETE extended edition with whatever was left out.

ALSO SOMEONE NEEDS TO TELL PETER TO NOT FORGET about 25th anniversary!!!

I may not be able to simply walk into Mordor, but I could easily watch 20 hours worth of The Lord of the Rings.

Peter Jackson: "How long do you need?" Fans: "As long as you can give me!" (If you know you know)

It’s so cool seeing Gil-galad get more screen time. Such an underrated character

The fans want the LONGEST extended edition they can give us, they don’t need to cut anything. Please… just give us all the footage in a cut 😭😭😭

How is all this stuff still not even officially collected as a bonus feature ? All of this stuff especially from Fellowship of the Ring is legendary and deserves to be seen. To hear Peter Jackson say that they did film a lot of certain scenes (like a young Aragorn and Arwen when they 1st met) and that they just never made it into any kind of cut has had me salivating just to see those damn scenes for so long now. Jackson even jokingly says that maybe they'll put them into a 50th Anniversary box set or something LOL fingers crossed we don't have to wait till 50

What I love about these films is the attention to detail. What Tolkien did with the written word, all this work to make languages that hardly appear in the novels, the crew did with the film, all this work on set design, costume design... It creates such a real, ancient place. Nothing like it.

Over 20 years later, there are so many fans willing to "do their part" in playing an active role in tracking down, recording, and preserving every scrap of knowledge they can about these films. You do it with your incredible familiarity with unreleased scenes and promotional photography, or even just the scenes that are rumored to exist. I've been doing it by creating screen-accurate saddles and tack for my horses and sharing my work for others to do the same builds, while I've got friends in the cosplay community who spend thousands of hours on costumes and armor indistinguishable to those worn in the films. I know people who work hard to archive old websites or blogs that have interviews from Weta artists or production crew in the early 2000s on topics ranging from Arwen's makeup to the Minas Tirith miniatures. Many of those early online resources are already lost forever, and more will vanish if we don't take action. As a professional archaeologist, I see this kind of fan labor as a form of archaeology as well: we need to preserve this "cultural heritage" of the Lord of the Rings for our children and grandchildren, so that not only the films but the knowledge of HOW they made the best trilogy of all time will last forever.

a 6 hour lord of the rings movie by peter jackson ? take my money

The public: “We can’t handle a 15 hour long extra-extended trilogy” Hardcore Fans: “There are few who can”

I feel so nostalgic after watching this. What a masterpiece of human interaction it was... a symphony.. made all the more obvious by the utter failure of Rings of Power.

It's such a pity that so many scenes were cut out and weren't added in the extended editions. I can well imagine all the hardwork and efforts in making this trilogy. A lot of these scenes can be incorporated in the extended editions for the 25th anniversary especially the epilogue of Gimli, Legolas and Èowyn&Faramir's wedding. Thank you so much for this seamless compilation!

Such a masterpiece. It's unlikely there will ever be another a film franchise like this. Can't believe it's been 20 years!

This must have taken an incredible amount of work to compile all those snippets into a longer video, so thank you for your efforts and sharing it with us!

I recently re watched the extended versions for the first time in years and they're still absolute masterpieces. What a treat they are.

I think the one of Sauron grabbing Gil Galad would have explained why Sauron reached out for Isildur more. Without it, it seems a bit random why Sauron would suddenly decide to grab Isildur instead of just smashing him with his mace.

This is simply amazing. You know what ? I think that we, the fans, could keep sharing this until it finally gets to Peter Jackson and Warner Brothers. It's totally possible for us to have the extended edition of the " extended edition" one day if we try hard enough. If you stop to think about, Blade runner has had 7 different cuts throughout the years and if it wasn't for the fans on social media, Zack Snyder could've never finished his Justice League. So, como on guys, we can make this happen !!!!

Peter Jackson is looking pretty bloody super human at the moment, even criticism of the Hobbit films has died down. Once you see what a mess of things others can make, you realise what a genius Peter Jackson is. And I love the bits of him speaking about his respect for Tolkien, that is why his films are great.

1:01:50 I would be interested in seeing the R-rated cut of the film. The books themselves were very violent and it's cool to know that Peter kept this in mind when filming, even though he had to clean most of it out for the release. How much more horrifying the orcs become when you see the torture, gore and mutilation they wrought and were surrounded by. You kind of lose how otherworldly and terrifying orcs must have been to the people of Middle Earth when you see them get cut down like cannon fodder by the heroes, and speak English on-screen

I feel so lucky that these movies were such a big part of my childhood. Not only did they introduce me to Tolkien's beautiful worlds but they also kickstarted a love for storytelling in general. Even now as a young adult I still daydream about stepping into Middle Earth and exploring each little corner that the movies only hint at Huge thanks to Tolkien for creating such a lovely world, and I feel like PJ and the team deserve equal praise for the way they brought it to life

Imagine being the actor who played Gil-Galad.. Basically never appears in the final cut except for a single scene :(

I love seeing the different shots, ideas, alternative endings, and it also emphasizes to me just how genius the end product came to be. As wonderful as it is to see the unused footage, it was for the most part the right call to go without them. It must hurt sometimes to leave things on the editing room floor but it truly shows the quality of their craft that they knew when to cut something out to make the movie shine. Thank you so much for taking the time to make and share this!

And I thought I was a LOTR nerd ... Hats off to you, Sir. Thank you for this extraordinary compilation.

This feels like finding a lost treasure after ages

Elrond and Arwen at Lothlórien would have been so nice to see. I WANT that 21-25 year anniversary, 7h long re-edited extended edition please!! With all the content here and more.

The reason why the movies are so timeless IS because of the lack of CGI and how things feel so real like you're in the world with them - because Jackson was a genius in his filming locations to make this real world have fantasy elements attached

44:15 best line in the entire trilogy.

This video makes me overwhelmed with happiness and nostalgia. They should've included literally every deleted scene in the extended cuts or made a premium extended cut. If they were worried about the money it would've taken to create that, us fans would've made sure they profited from it.

The Lord of the rings is so epic even the deleted scenes make up enough time for an extra movie

imagine a 20 years anniversary edition with all the material filmed and edited into the movie. id pay good money for it

I just wanted to note down a few scenes that I liked most to watch again later but it escalated... xD 1:56 Gil-Galad's Death 3:04 Gandalf quits smoking 4:42 Bilbo's Party scenes 6:24 Frodo going "Whooo", then staring at camera 8:42 Epic Frodo picture 9:30 Frodo, Arwen, Aragorn 12:32 Sauron forging the ring 13:33 Arwen and Legolas scene 13:55 Aerial Fellowship shots 16:56 Flight from Moria Goblins 22:25 Alternative Ending: Frodo fighting Uruk'hai in water 23:54 *More* aerial shots 29:43 Young Aragorn and Arwen flashback 33:16 Frodo as Gollum 36:12 Too convincing speech of Théoden xD 38:54 Arwen fighting 39:15 Aragorn fighting on stairs 42:54 Éowyn scenes (talk of Éowyn helping deliver a baby, fight scenes) 44:40 Original beginning: Aragorn wakes up from a nightmare 45:33 High and drunk Merry and Pippin xD 48:50 Merry and Pippin make up ("We'll see the shire again") 49:08 Talk of Legolas conversation with Treebeard 49:50 We don't talk about the library scene :'D 51:20 Cool Orc pics 53:30 Legolas' deleted line "To wherever it may lead" 56:43 More Frodo and Gollum dialogue 1:04:09 Aragorn putting on armor 1:05:29 *More* Legolas dialogue 1:05:53 Aragorn sees Sauron as Annatar, his fair form 1:06:39 *More* Merry and Pippin 1:07:43 Aragorn fighting Sauron 1:10:07 Elrond looking fabulously 1:10:28 Epilogues 1:10:54 Éowyn and Faramir's wedding picture 1:11:04 Elijah talking about deleted Hobbit shot on hill 1:11:48 Billy talks about deleted scene between Pippin and Gandalf And thank you so much for collecting and cutting all of this together. My friend, you bow to no one. *Bows*

The Gil-Galad, Elendil, and Sauron fight really should've made it in.

I will seriously cry if they ever release a uncut version of the trilogy with all these scenes. We already have an extended version, this would be a second treat, even better😭

Thank you for all the work done to put this together. Grateful for all the time you obviously out into it!

I remember seeing the extended cut for the first time as a kid, after seeing the theatrical version back and forth dozens of times, learning theres more was like diving into a cave full of treasure, then finding out about behind the scenes appenices made happy like nothing else, now watching this reminds me of those moments.

6:10 oh my days Sam and Frodo hugging is so wholesome and adds so much more into their relationship

Thank you for this great compilation. Really enjoyed the cuts in chronological order.

Just release all the raw footage, Peter. The fans will gladly make a 48-hour cut of the trilogy _for you._

To bad we didn't see more of Gil Galad and Easterlings in the movie

TOFFEES? Glad that idea was abandoned. Gandalf trying to give up smoking would have yanked us out of the mythical past and into 20th century issues in a flash.

Thank you so so much for your hard work doing this compilation. I would love for Peter Jackson to release a new version for the 25th anniversary that includes all the deleted scenes as part of the whole, and not in a section of deleted scenes like he always did. I imagine it would be a huge editing job, but how great it would be to see all that material.

THIS is what i mean when i think about the extended version of the lord of the rings trilogy. thank you for the video! this is amazing!!!

Can't wait to see the release of the Extended Extended Edition.

This movie is a pure magic... The most important event of 2000s

Oh waw thanks so much for putting this together! I (we) really appreciate it!!

57:49 I wish they did more with the Easterlings in the films. Such magnificent looking armor designs.

If they were to add 3 hours to each movie, we'd all still watch them in one sitting

we could have a 15hr trilogy. please peter jackson and WB!

Liv Tyler has to have one of the most beautiful voices I've ever heard. Ever. And is it just me who remembers the elves running and frolicking in the woods in the Prologue??? Or is it just Mandela Effect in action lmao. I'm sure I've seen that scene back in the day.

Amazing! Thank you so much for this compilation!

The Arwen Alternate (the first time we see her) is because they didn't like how the costume looked on camera when they filmed with it so changed the costume. You actually see all three costumes in the finished scene, the first one as she rides in and dismounts (the cloak gives that lovely halo), the second when it cuts back to her (the one they changed to) and then the riding outfit you see for the rest of the scene. You've done an amazing job with this video! I'm only a short way in!

A big thank you for putting this all together! I am so happy that I got to see these extra scenes. There was so much Arwen/Aragorn footage that got cut from the film. It makes me quite sad since I really loved Liv's performance. I hope at some point in the future, we're able to see the Arwen/Aragorn flower field scene and Arwen's library scene! And I'd also love to see Eowyn and Faramir's wedding. Keeping my fingers crossed for the next anniversary release!

This is a treasure! Thanks for sharing.

It's so interesting seeing the different deliveries. Really shows how good the actors are.

I really hope we eventually get a supercut with the unused footage. Even if it slows the movie down, we've had those good experiences with the theatrical and extended editions. Give us the supercut!

The 25th anniversary is only a few years away now. I'll be waiting...

Fantastic work, thank you!

Thank you so much for this compilation!! You deserve the best place in Valinor 😭❤️ you're amazing

When this movie came out I was 13, and the world was a much simpler place in my mind. *To be a child again would be a dream*

Someone make sure Mr.Jackson is reminded of all these things for the 25th anniversary.

INCREDIBLE. THANK YOU.

seriously this is really really amazing, thank you so much

"9 Companions to match the 9 Ringwraiths" I've watched this trilogy at least 3 times a year for 20+ years and never thought about that until watching your video. Well done. You have inspired me to watch the trilogy... again :)

It would be my absolute joy if Jackson incorporated these into the 'final cut' for release on the 25th anniversary. Make it 4K and it's immediately in my collection.

Uh why did they take away so many of Arwen’s scenes. She’s such a brilliant character.

This is incredible thank you so much!!!

That red Orc was sweet. This is a great video! I’ve seen the extended versions so many times that I forget what the theatrical cuts are like, so these scenes are crazy to me

This is the only Lord of the Rings release I'm enjoying this year.

Thank you !!

This is amazing. Thank you so much for doing this. Hard work but well worth it.

Give me another 12 hours of LOTR, I don't care, I'd watch all of it lol

Thanks for this! This is the most comprehensive of rundown of deleted/unused/ lost material from the the Rings trilogy that I've seen online. As a lost media nerd, I salute you !

Came here because of your comment on someone's video that used stuff from your edits. Thanks for uploading this

I think the Lothlórien part would've been better with the killing of the goblins. The elves shoving their bows in their faces was kinda dumb. Also cutting ANYTHING that involves Boromir was a bad move.

I surprisingly remember a lot of these things from other promotional stuff, action figures boxes, trading cards, video game pamphlets, cut scenes in games, etc.

the prop team is insane, everything looks good even without the CG.

This is absolutely wonderful :)

I saw an interview somewhere where Peter Jackson said he had something like 50 or 60 hours sitting in a warehouse of unused footage. He said a lot of it is good and just too much for a movie to be watchable. Some RU-vidrs have suggested editing that footage into a Snyder Cut style miniseries with a season for each movie. I would totally watch that. I'm not sure if WB is allow to release it as a show, however, since Amazon has the TV rights, but it would be so great if they could. We are coming up on the 25th Anniversary and a 30-40 hour super cut made into a miniseries with remastered footage and updated CGI for the scenes that need it would be an amazing way to celebrate.
