The question is, will the contents of the LOTR reissues be any different (besides the obvious) from the EiV release...

Whether they will release a full Middle-Earth boxset? Well of course we won't know that for sure but there's no doubt in my mind that Warners wouldn't miss that opportunity. Still, the debate of whether or not they can is at least settled, which is what we were going back and forth on originally.

And no, I don't believe there will be any difference - all of the other New Line/EiV titles changed over to Warners with no difference in extras - it was merely a rebrand. And the Warners LOTR releases in the US had the same extras as we did anyway (12 rated material on the FOTR:EE release aside, which I believe we got on TTT:EE instead) and the PQ/AQ masters are the same so there's not really any changes to be made. EiV's release was a straight port from the Warners release.
