When are tickets going on sale for the Rings trilogy MARATHON?

[se7en]

No one here will no the answer yet. However, last I heard they were supposed to release the participating theaters around the end of September early october. So I'm hoping that everyone keeps an eye open for info and posts it the moment you see it. I plan to jump on tickets right away. I'm hoping that the Arclight Cinema or Mann's Chinese will be playing it.

Arclight preferably because seats are reserved on all shows. That means no waiting in line to get a good seat. Also they've designed the theaters so that there are no bad seats. And they have a nice bar and cafe in the lobby so you can go get plastered before the show. (CHAPLIN, I hope you're a member. It's FREE and It's also the best theater in town. Lots of great film series with Q&A's with directors after the shows. In fact they'll be doing the Usual Suspects in a couple of weeks with the director. Great stuff. Egyptian is great for that as well)

I don't know if I have what it takes to sit through 12 hours worth of film in one sitting but I'd sure as hell like to try. On Thursday Dec. 17th the first 2 films will be re-released with added scenes. They'll run about 220 minutes each and then Return of the King will come on at midnight. That means you'll get out of the theater around 4am in the morning. Talk about exhausting. But I think it would be pretty damn cool.

So if anyone hears anything about Ring Marathon tickets going on sale please report it here ASAP.

Lord of the Rings here we come...

I know that we've been keeping on eye out for it here in Phoenix. It's going to make for a long day, but I think it will be worth it to see the entire movie back to back to back.

I don't like Arclight myself--at least, I don't like the Dome. 14 bucks for a movie, even if it's LOTR, seems a little over the top for me. And the marathon most likely will be in the Dome, which is nothing special to me.

If they do it over at the Bridge, then I might just go there instead. The Bridge is excellent.

I will be paying attention to, but if anyone hears anything, post it here!!

Then, the week of Dec. 12, "The Two Towers" will be released, leading up to a worldwide Dec. 16 daylong marathon, during which all three films will be shown back-to-back. The screenings that day will include 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."

It will be cool seeing them all together in one long session - the only thing that I'm worried about is all the freaks dressing up. So Mike, that means leave the Gandolf getup at home - please.
