Is Netflix (or Newline Cinema) holding the Lord of the Rings Extended Edition?

I have to assume so that Newline Cinema is holding onto to releasing extended versions of the movie, and not really Netflix, usually if a movie has a very long wait it is a popular movie, like say a new release where they won't have an estimate on they will get a copy of the movie to you on dvd, and how long that will take. Your guess is as good as mine as to why it will be taking as long, I don't really care to see even a extended version of any of the Lord of the Rings movies. My recommendation for you is to go to the Help center on their, and call their phone # for customer service, it will give you the current holding time, and a code for faster service, not sure how fast it will be for you. I bet they can be able to answer this question better for you then I would, I don't work for Netflix, they may also not be allowed to tell you why the movie is being held up . But you don't know if you don't give them a call. You may be right that Newline Cinema could be forcing them to hold a very long time on dvd until the Blu-Ray editions comes out next month, I was not aware any of this until I saw your question.
