Is this going to be just like the star wars movies? A new way to release them every so many years? :lol:
I hope not - and I don't think so. I decided not to buy the theatrical LOTR BD because I assumed that the Extendeds would be coming out at some point. On the DVD version, they only released the theatrical and extended versions as far as I know. One annoying thing that I noticed is that the highest bit-rate audio is only 5 channel, where-as the DVD Extendeds used 6 channel DTS-ES (which is also still available on the BD it appears).
Filming recently started after yet another delay caused this time by a medical emergency suffered by Peter Jackson. The Hobbit will be released in two installments (in 3D for better or worse), with a possible 3rd film to follow bridging the Hobbit and LOTR. The release dates for The Hobbit are still stated as December 2012 and Dec. 2013. News can be found at http://www.theonering.net
Yeah, I really hope they don't try to get cute with 3D effects. Avatar was cool IMO, because it was it was really immersive; not in your face. I think it will be well done, because I believe that Jackson was opposed to 3D and got forced into it by the studios. But 3D it will based on reports that make-up and screen tests were being done with dual lens 3D cameras.
I believe Bloodymage was commenting that he spends too much time on computer and multimedia distractions as it is and does not really need scores of hours of DVD and BD/BR goodness to further corrupt him...
Just got a bit of extra $$$ in, so I just ordered the damned thing. I just can't resist temptation anymore. :roll:
They are replaying the extended versions one showing per week in July at AMC theaters! My wife an I have 3 dates scheduled (3! In a row! With 3 girls under 12 this is no small task). Anyone in the far north Chicago suburbs wanna meet up? http://www.experience-it-all.com/?p=11381[url]
