Due June 28
Following last year's Blu-ray premiere of the original theatrical versions of "The Lord of the Rings Motion Picture Trilogy," Warner Home Video will release all three of Peter Jackson's visual masterpieces in their extended editions on June 28 as a 15-disc Blu-ray collection, The Lord of the Rings Motion Picture Trilogy: Extended Edition (Blu-ray).
This highly anticipated Extended Edition (Blu-ray) set will be released in English 6.1 DTS-HD MA audio and includes a new transfer of "The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring," which was remastered from the original 2k digital files. The set boasts more than 26 hours of additional content, highlighted by the rare behind-the-scenes documentaries created by Costa Botes, the filmmaker given unprecedented access to the set of each production by Peter Jackson. Costa Botes was able to capture raw behind-the-scenes film footage. His unique approach to story telling -- allowing the footage to speak for itself -- results in a candid backstage pass to the challenges, preparations and camaraderie that went into shooting the films. The feature-length documentaries, with more than four and a half hours of footage, focus on a number of complexities and circumstances that tested the filmmakers, cast and crew during the shoot, as well as a look at some of the comical antics and personal moments on the set. The Costa Botes documentaries accompany the special features by Michael Pellerin from the original extended cut releases.
