re: Lord of The Rings on Blu-Ray in 2010!
what do you mean?- Saruman's demise in the book was in the Scouring of the Shire scene, but I'm sure you know that already.

re: Lord of The Rings on Blu-Ray in 2010!
We need a "Nazgul Edit" of RotK :)
|
re: Lord of The Rings on Blu-Ray in 2010!
Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but the confrontation with Saruman does occur in the book, but his death doesn't occur until way later during the Scouring of the Shire. Gandalf and the Witch-King due go head-to-head so to speak, but I believe that happens at the gates of Minas Tirith, not some random spot in the city. Also, the Mouth of Sauron part is in the book, but I'm pretty sure Aragorn doesn't behead him.

Yeah, but they then gush over the Corsair scene where they're all in it, so I can't really trust all their decisions with ROTK. ;) But seriously, from a storytelling point of view, it's necessary to have some conclusion with Saruman. He was the main villain of the previous film.

I forgot about the breaking of the staff, which I liked. The Mouth of Sauron didn't really add much, except to reveal that Aragorn thought Frodo was dead, hence his comment "For Frodo" being a little more in context. |

re: Lord of The Rings on Blu-Ray in 2010!
I can't wait to get this on blu, but will most likely wait until EE versions unless there is a coupon or something similar in this set.
|
re: Lord of The Rings on Blu-Ray in 2010!
I'm also going to wait for the EE.
|
re: Lord of The Rings on Blu-Ray in 2010!
I barely have time to watch the theatricals in one sitting. Not waiting for the EE. Getting the theatricals. Like I did with the DVDs, I'll probably get the EEs in the far future discounted.

re: Lord of The Rings on Blu-Ray in 2010!
As much as I am a completest when it comes to LOTR (I own both versions on DVD, the only ones I did not get rid of the older version when I bought a DC) I can never see me watching the TC ever again. I'll wait for the EE on BD.
|
re: Lord of The Rings on Blu-Ray in 2010!
Count me among those who will wait for the extended edition blu-rays
|
re: Lord of The Rings on Blu-Ray in 2010!
Already have the theatrical cuts and extended editions on DVD.
I'll wait for the inevitable tricked-out editions before I pick these up on Blu. |
re: Lord of The Rings on Blu-Ray in 2010!
As for me, i know i couldn't wait for the Extended Cuts ...
Will surely double dipping, but really can't wait for this set to come out in April :) |
re: Lord of The Rings on Blu-Ray in 2010!
I'm going to pass on this. I already own the 2-disc theatrical cuts on DVD as well as the Extended Editions of all 3 movies.
If they release the Extended Editions on Blu-Ray, then I might bite. What I find weird about this set is the bonus material is being released as DVD's and it's the exact same material from the 2-disc theatrical DVD's. |

re: Lord of The Rings on Blu-Ray in 2010!
so only the ext. editions had 6.1 soundmixes - right? or did the DVD's of the theatrical cuts also have them?
|
re: Lord of The Rings on Blu-Ray in 2010!
i believe the theatrical DVD's only had 5.1 EX tracks.
|
re: Lord of The Rings on Blu-Ray in 2010!
'EX' which technically IS a phantom middle rear channel of sound (this is how Disney/pixar is non-advertising the fact that the blu's of 'Up' & 'Monsters Inc.' are in fact 6.1, but just don't want to bother indicating them as such
|
re: Lord of The Rings on Blu-Ray in 2010!
So, the bonus won't be in HD ? :(

It also looks like the set has been prepped for being split into individual releases later, since the discs with the feature films on them all have the same three trailers. |
re: Lord of The Rings on Blu-Ray in 2010!
I would love to be the stalwart and wait for the EEs, but I simply can't do it. I must have LOTR in HD, if that means double dipping, so be it.
|
re: Lord of The Rings on Blu-Ray in 2010!
im also holdin out for the EE's as well. And looking at the specs for the discs, Im not impressed that their doesnt seem to be any new features in HD. Ill rent them from either blockbuster/netflix or borrow them from a friend.
|
re: Lord of The Rings on Blu-Ray in 2010!
I'll be waiting for the EE's too. Even if it's until 2011 when they release the Hobbit it will be worth the wait.
|
re: Lord of The Rings on Blu-Ray in 2010!
You mean 2011 when they begin filming The Hobbit?
|
re: Lord of The Rings on Blu-Ray in 2010!
No, I thought the Hobbit was due out in 2011?

The site acting-auditions.org just posted an announcement that MGM Studios New Zealand casting for ‘The Hobbit” Part 1 will begin this coming Monday, December 14. Per their site: “Casting is scheduled to begin next week, December 14, 2009, on the upcoming MGM Studios feature film “The Hobbit” Part 1. The project is now being developed as two films, and principal photography is tentatively scheduled to begin in New Zealand around May or June 2011. Please submit photos and resume by mail only. No phone calls or personal drop-offs.” Principal Actor Casting: Liz Mullane Casting (Address TBA) Extras Casting: Miranda Rivers PO Box 6479 Marion Square Wellington, New Zealand 6022 The entry also lists associated productions companies, but emphasizes NOT to send resumes and pictures to them or they will likely end up in the trash. If you’re lucky enough to live in New Zealand, best of luck to you! If not, remember that there are requirements you must meet to be eligible to work in New Zealand. You can read more about it in our Hobbit Movie FAQ here. Do you intend to submit a resume? Discuss it on our chatroom and/or message boards and keep us posted on your progress! Thanks to message board member shadowdog for alerting us to this great news! |
re: Lord of The Rings on Blu-Ray in 2010!
haha, well shit, I guess we might not see the EE until 2012 then (if we're still around by then ;))
|
re: Lord of The Rings on Blu-Ray in 2010!
I'm a big fan of the films, but I'll wait for the EE. They're the versions I'm used to enjoying at this point; I'm not going to spend $60 or more on truncated cuts. I can wait.
|
re: Lord of The Rings on Blu-Ray in 2010!
I'll be tempted, but the theatrical cut of The Two Towers doesn't have the epic Boromir/Faramir/Denethor scene in it, among many other excellent additions throughout the trilogy. I'll resist...
|
re: Lord of The Rings on Blu-Ray in 2010!
Drop the digital copies and the DVD extras discs (along with the MSRP by about half, whatever it might be) and then I'd consider getting this. But as is, buying 9 discs when you really only want three of them is a complete and utter waste.
|
re: Lord of The Rings on Blu-Ray in 2010!
Spain is getting the trilogy in April 14, 2010.

re: Lord of The Rings on Blu-Ray in 2010!
I wish I could say I'm not going to buy this, I'm going to wait for the EE's, but the truth is I'll probably buckle the minute I see these on the store shelves.

I'm holding out for the EE, no matter what. Never got the Theatrical cut on DVD. Waited for the EE to go cheap and that's when I got it.
