If the Hobbit wasn’t long enough, being drawn out over three movies, an even longer version of the movies will launch in the US in October.
Extended editions on the three Hobbit movies will be showing in 500 venues around the US from October.
The Hobbit an Unexpected Journey will be shown from the 5th October, The Desolation of Smaug from the 7th of October and The Battle of the Five Armies on the 13th of October.
Each of the movie screening will also include an introduction from Peter Jackson and the trilogy will last longer than 9 hours.
