Yes!

On the heels of last month's Oscar coronation in which The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King pulled off a historic 11-for-11 sweep, New Line has announced plans to bring the final chapter in Peter Jackson's adaptation of J.R.R. Tolkien's epic fantasy saga to home video on May 25, months ahead of schedule.

The two previous installments, The Fellowship of the Ring and The Two Towers, were both released in August.

But nooo!

As with the previous video releases, Hobbitheads obsessed with every nook and cranny of Middle-earth will have to wait a little longer for the four-hour extended edition of King. That four-disc set, featuring even more extras, is slated for a holiday release.

Argh. I'm not buying it twice, I can hold out until the holiday season, I think.
