Lord of the Rings in Blu-Ray

[IrishJedi]

The only thing I like in the theatrical cut of Fellowship over the EE is the transition to Hobbiton from the prologue. In the extended edition, the music just doesn't work as well.

And to me that is HUGE... because that added bit before Hobbiton changes the entire tone and feel of the beginning of the film. As a result, the EE doesn't have nearly as much heart or charm to me.

Anyone else read this comment from IGN:

In related news, Warner will partner with the likes of Sideshow Collectibles and Games Workshop to create merchandise to support the release, including Rings-related toys and games.

 

[Seaward]

Do you think Sideshow will make gift sets like those that they made with the DVD's? I can't imagine that they will make "Toys" as that term gets thrown around pretty loosely by marketing departments.

$50 GCs too hopefully.

I'll buy both versions as they become available. I'll be happy with the theatrical versions for now and then the EEs with all the bells and whistles in about three years or so.

 

[Fritz]

I will buy both...

Not only do I have both the EE and Theatrical on DVD, I have both Widescreen and 4:3 Theatrical DVDs.

If it takes them 3 years to make the EEs, then I know I'll be buying the theatrical ones.

I just have the EE deluxe editions but without the SS extras. I've been thinking about picking up all the other versions, probably used, for the extras.

The EE's upscale is good enough for me to wait for the Extended Blu-ray versions

 

[blue_rogue]

I'll check out the theatrical releases via Netflix but I'll wait to purchase the EEs.

Looks like 2011 for the EE.

I'm in it for the long haul.

 

[FlyAndFight]

EE for me. It's the definitive version of the films for me. (unless PJ decides to add even more!...)*


*Director's cut?...

 

[Malice]

I'm going to wait for the EE, hopefully they come out before 2011.

Sounds good to me.Lets stretch them to 5hrs each making it a nice round 15hr marathon.

If the studios were smart, they'd release these as soon as possible. There will be some that can't wait that long for the EEs, and the sooner they release these, the more money they'll make. If they wait too long, more people will wait.

I agree, they could've made a killing if they released the regulars before Xmas.

Bedsores for everyone!!!!I did the SW OT marathon a few years ago and after the first movie I had to get up and stretch every 30 minutes.

Do i hear 20?

Add the 2 EE Hobbits and you can make a day of it....make that a day and night of it.

Waiting for EE's and will be here before you know it just wish that would just hurry up.

 

[jimjimmyjones85]

I can wait. EE's are really the only way to go when it comes to these epics.

 

[LOTRFan]

By 2000 whatever Blu's may be out.
