Warner Bros. Home Entertainment has officially announced both the standard 3-disc Blu-ray/UltraViolet and 5-disc 3D BD/Ultraviolet Combo Pack releases of director Peter Jackson's The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, Extended Edition. Both versions of the 182-minute Extended Cut arrive on Blu-ray on November 5th.


Standard 3-Disc Blu-ray/UltraViolet Combo Pack


5-Disc 3D Blu-ray/UltraViolet Combo Pack


The new Extended Cut includes 13 minutes of extra film footage that extends individual scenes, making this the must-see, definitive version for fans. All disc versions of the Extended Edition include nearly nine hours of new bonus features.

"I'm thrilled that the Extended Edition will give fans the opportunity to experience certain key scenes in the film as they were originally shot, as well as an abundance of special features," said Jackson. "It's exciting to present this expanded and enriched version of An Unexpected Journey to allow fans to fully immerse themselves in the movie, before seeing the second part of the trilogy."

Film synopsis: Unassuming Hobbit Bilbo Baggins (Martin Freeman) is swept into a quest to reclaim the lost Dwarf Kingdom of Erebor, long ago conquered by the dragon Smaug. Approached by the wizard Gandalf (Ian McKellen), Bilbo finds himself among a company of thirteen dwarves led by the legendary warrior Thorin Oakenshield (Richard Armitage). Their journey takes them through treacherous lands swarming with Goblins and Orcs, deadly Wargs, giant Spiders, Shapeshifters and Sorcerers. They must escape the goblin tunnels, where Bilbo meets the creature Gollum (Andy Serkis), who will change his life forever. Alone with Gollum on the shores of an underground lake, Bilbo not only discovers guile and courage that surprise him, he also gains possession of Gollum's "precious," a ring tied to the fate of all Middle-Earth.

Tech specs have yet to be fully detailed, but are expected to be revealed soon. Cover art is final. Special features available on both the 2D and 3D releases of the Extended Edition include:

They've already expanded this from two to three movies - how much more "extended" is it gonna get? Anything for a buck, I suppose...

Who am I kidding, I'll buy these if they're even half as good as his LOTR trilogy.

[Blu-Benny]

jackson's Middle Earth movies i will gladly drop some major coin on.

i'll be picking up both the standard release and the extended releases for all 3 movies.

and no, i will not be waiting for the inevitable "box set".....do u know how many times i'll watch these individual releases before a box set ever sees the light of day??

[Sky_Captain85]

First Blu-ray release

First 3D Blu-ray release

Extended Edition 3D/2D collector's edition

Future boxset in the year 5120 containing the extended Hobbit trilogy

Six months later, a complete collection that also combines the Lord of the Rings trilogy is released complete with from beyond the grave commentary by Peter Jackson

lol, this ^^^^

Looks like were getting an Extended cut of Hobbit pt1.

[prkprkprk]

Someone should also make a thread for that Best of Warner Bros. 50 Film (!) Collection, currently running for about $420 (!).

Extended Editions for The Hobbit come as no surprise. It seems as though all of Jackson's epics have extended home video versions.

[spidy]

Well at least it's announced early so we know to wait for the EE. Hopefully the EE comes in 3D as well as 2D!

[melbye]

Please don't be 3D exclusive

[Leonidas King]

What movie by Peter Jackson doesn't have a Extended Cut? Durrrrr.

Not a surprise.

There is already a thread. Check it out.

Search function - The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey – Extended Edition (Q4) 2013!

.

[UNCMT9]

Well...better early than late I guess!

[PuppyJonathan]

So I take it the whole entire book will be covered?

[Adam_WM]

At least they are up front about it!

[Madeingermany94]

Now that they've announced the extended edition do I wait for the trilogy set again like LOTR

[HD Canuck]

Wonder if they'll eventually release a giant 6-movie extended edition set including both Middle Earth trilogies?

[aimforsilence]

Wish they'd just skip the theatrical blu-ray releases and just go right to the Extended Cut. If we already know its next year Q4 then why even bother with theatrical? Possibly for people who don't read up on it maybe?

They will once all three hobbit movies are out I won't be surprised if they release a new boxset once this comes out on blu
