Baltimore fans of Peter Jackson's extended DVD cut of The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring will get their first chance to see it on the big screen when it plays the Senator Dec. 5-11, followed on the 12th by the extended DVD version of The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers (due out on disc in November).
But Dec. 16 is the date for true believers in the Tolkien trilogy: back-to-back screenings of both prints will precede the local premiere of The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King. The Senator will be the only Maryland theater to show this marathon, screening The Fellowship of the Ring at noon, The Two Towers at 4:30 p.m. and The Return of the King at 10 p.m.
