The Hobbit, the prequel trilogy to Lord of the Rings​​​​​, wrapped up last year with the release of The Hobbit: The Battle of The Five Armies​. Now, the film is slated to receive an extended edition.

The release features twenty minutes of additional footage, as well as over nine hours of brand new special features. These features include Commentary with Writer/Director/Producer Peter Jackson and co-producer/writer Phillipa Boyens, New Zealand: Home of Middle Earth Part 3, and more.

The interesting thing about the release of this version of the film, however, is its classification - it's received an ​R-Rating​. What about the additional footage and special features could possibly have bumped up the rating to that 18+? You can find out for yourself on November 17th.
