Our good friend Bill Hunt is at it again, and today he has more information
regarding the upcoming release of the '
Lord of the Rings' films. This bad news is that when Warner
delivers the films sometime late next year, they will be of the theatrical
versions of the films. The good news is that this decision was made because
director Peter Jackson wants to save the extended versions for a super Blu-
ray boxset to be released near the theatrical release of '
The
Hobbit'.
With the original extended cut box sets being of the utmost quality, I have
high hopes that Jackson will once again produce a magnificent Blu-ray box set
for the extended cuts of the film. Until then (which will be about two years if
'The Hobbit' stays on schedule, enjoy the theatricals cuts on Blu-ray
sometime next year.
