User blog comment:Matt Hadick/Hobbit Extended Edition details revealed/@comment-89.145.210.209-20131030102215

I'm so glad they're finally bringing out an extended edition, i love all things tolkien and have read everything including the Silmarillion and Unfinished Tales multiple times, so everything that delves deeper into his World is perfect. A shame it's taken so long, but it's obviously to make sure we've all bought the theatrical release so they get twice as much money. I'm surprised that they're able to talk about the original elf/dwarf falling out as that was part of the Silmarillion which they don't have the license for, so they can only skim over this. Still, i'm going to buy it as soon as I can, just like everyone else!
