Ive been reading a lot and the EE's will be way more the the Theatricals. Makes sense too. The DVD's were the same way. EE's have a smaller fan base compared to the TE.

Absolutely fascinating, thanks for the link!

Thanks for that link finally definitive information instead of conjecture!

I saw a lot of them at Best Buy today.

What is the price?

Hey Gandalf, I just put the BDs in the smaller case and switched the covers. Now I never to fumble around with all the discs anymore.

I simply took the digital copies and the box out of my cabinet, not sure what I'm going to do with them. I'll probably give them to my sister so she can watch them on her iPod.

So that's why Fellowship sounds so awesome

So, one of Mike Mulvihill's last goals while still in his position at New Line Home Entertainment was to create a test for Peter Jackson - comparing the old HD masters to new HD transfers for a clip from each of the three films - as a back-to-back comparison.

Peter concurred that new HD masters were in order - and also wanted to do some tweaks to the color correction of the films as well. Andrew Lesnie, the films' director of photography, was brought in to help make these corrections, and help approve the new HD masters for BD. Once Andrew approved the masters, WHV moved into production on the discs.

So, this is a new transfer after all? Approved by both Peter Jackson & Andrew Lesnie?

We were also finally able to include The Return of the King: Special Extended Edition preview for the very first time. Although the theatrical FOTR and TTT included previews of their Extended Editions - ROTK originally did not, because at the time the DVD was released, it was undecided whether there would be an extended version of ROTK or not. WB couldn't locate a master, but I had a copy in my vault which we were able to use. We had produced it back in 2004, but it just sat on the shelf for years unseen, so it was great to finally be able to have it see the light of day (albeit six years later!)

I have the UK release of the ROTK Blu-ray and I couldn't find this new preview on the disc. Is this a hidden bonus feature or is it only on the US release?

aiman,

That's what this interview and the other interview posted pages ago seems to be saying. This is new....

Yes, but that information has been circulating for quite some time. The only new info in this particular interview is about the proposed special features (and most of that has been revealed elsewhere as well).
