More On Turkish FOTR Dubbing
Strider @ 2:05 pm EST

From Emre:

I went to the cinema a couple of weeks back, and a FoTR was being shown - dubbed. Horror! I wrote (exploded?) to the cinema chain, and got back this reply on 14th November.

Sayin Emre,
Lord of the Rings 21.12.2001 tarihinde bütün dünya ile ayni anda AFM de gösterime giriyor.
Dagitici Film sirketi, Filme olan ilgiyi dahada artirmak ve Türk seyircisine bir alternatif yaratmak açisindan bazi sinemalarda bu filmi Türkçe dublajli göstermeyi planliyor ama yalnizca bir kaç sinemada..

AFM ye ait sinemalarimizda altyazili orijinal gösterilecek bu filmden zevk alacaginiza inaniyoruz.

In brief, AFM - the largest cinema chain in Turkey - will show FoTR in Istanbul in the English (subtitled) version with the exception of two screens. Moreover, the chap says that the distributor merely "wishes to offer Turkish movie-goers an alternative."
