Will the extended version have the Scouring of the Shire?

Saruman/Sharkey and Grim Wormtongue needed to have their asses kicked by angry hobbits one more time.

I'm sure there will be a future epic entitled "Lord of the Rings Episode IV - The Scouring of the Shire" - Dalton 14:54:59 06/28/04 (1)
Jackson will eventually return to milk the LOTR cash cow after a few flops.
- It's premature to discuss his remake of King Kong as being a flop, but he'll probably do the Hobbit next regardless. - Audiophilander 09:08:00 06/29/04 (0)
  BTW, Peter Jackson is apparently attempting to do the Kong remake correctly, setting it in the early 1930's, the same period as in the original RKO movie. It's bound to be a tough shoot though. Doing a period film entails meticulous attention to detail; getting the settings and colloquel dialogue right are crucial to suspension of disbelief. We'll see if he pulls it off with the kind of gusto and vision he brought to LoTR. Jackson may surprise his relentless critics; he's a much more gifted and accomplished Director than some folks are willing to give him credit.

Regretably, I don't believe thtat the Scouring of the Shire was actually filmed. - Audiophilander 22:03:42 06/24/04 (0)
It would've been nice, and Peter Jackson has been criticised by fans of the original works about the intentional omission (sticklers for word & deed accuracy) in the regular theatrical release. I wouldn't count on it, but perhaps some element of the Scouring may be included in the Expanded Edition, even if it's digitally inserted as an afterthought.
