Based on that, I see that New Line announced plans to film The Subtle Knife last month...

These separate release for 1 and 2 disk editions are bullshit and is just another reason I wont buy new releases like i uses to. For example I will buy Across The Universe because that is a 2-disk set. There is no 1 disk version. Why do they have 1 AND 2 disk editions of this?

EDIT: Besides, I never thought there was that much on the LOTR second discs anyway.

I don't think there are any plans to film a second movie. I found this article (http://www.bridgetothestars.net/news...equel-unclear/) from a fan site for the books saying that important sets had been dismantled and that hopes for a sequel were thought to be quite low.

And I'm not sure what "important sets" coincide between the two books. In fact, I can't think of a single location (except maybe Lee's balloon) that would have appeared in the 1st that would also be in the 2nd especially since the 2nd opens in
Spoiler:
In any case, I think it would be rather hasty of New Line to forego finishing the trilogy before the first part gets a home video release. THAT is where the real money is to be made!

For those of you looking to buy this:
Best Buy - Bonus DVD with 45 minutes of extra footage (according to the Best Buy thread in the Bargain forum)
Borders - Bonus Booklet (hopefully it will be packed in like Pan's Labyrinth as that was also New Line)

There are no plans to continue the franchise right now, especially not by New Line which is essentially a dead studio at the moment. They also made nothing on the film because they only owned domestic distribution.

If true, it looks like I'll be camping out at BB.

The BB bonus disc has 3 featurettes: "Meet the Cast," "Stunts," & "Locations." Haven't had a chance to actually watch the bonus yet, but that's what the disc face says...
What is cool, though, is that the bonus disc isn't tucked in an envelope in the case, but instead the case itself is made for holding three discs. Nifty.

Yep, was a bit dissapointed that its only more featurettes and not deleted footage. Especially since my BB was charging $35 for it.
Unless of course theres one hell of an easter egg on there.
