Warner and New Line have been keeping the fans waiting for while, they have not mentioned much about Lord of the Rings in the past few months other than “we are working on it.” Recently Warner revealed its Warner Blu-ray Rewards in which you buy and register five (5) Blu-rays and you receive one (1) for free. The list is long with flims not yet release on Blu-ray along the films previously released and one thing capture the eye of many, The Lord of the Rings Trilogy is shown at the bottom. This of course set the Internet on frenzy you had fans from all over asking the same question, when will LOTR will be out on Blu-ray?
Surfing through the net checking out several sites and doing some reading, I stumbled on one more sign that this could in fact real. Amazon has now listed LOTR on their site and has gone as far as pricing and leaving another tease, the box art. So I leave it to you guys to decide whether this is another indication that it will be out this year or not, if New Line/Warner decide to give us LOTR I am willing to bet that it will not be any earlier than November/December time frame. Also, Amazon is listing these as the theatrical versions which I am sure has some fans upset. Treat this as a rumor there’s nothing official until the studio announces the release.
Keep in mind all these signs can’t be a coincidence. 🙂
Here’s the Amazon listing! Enjoy! 🙂
The Lord of the Rings Trilogy (Theatrical Editions) [Blu-ray]
Part 2 rules all!
Sources close to director Peter Jackson have informed me that he's holding back the extended editions for an elaborate "ultimate" box set release closer to the debut of the new Hobbit films – that's why these are set to be theatrical only. Obviously, not everyone is going to want them as such, but they're designed to satisfy fans who want something in the meantime. So simply be aware that if you want to wait for the more elaborate release, you'll get one eventually. Just FYI.]
I may grab both and quite the few months before EE edition sell these. I not a huge LOTR fan by any means tho.
I only need the theatrical versions, I can't really stand watching more of it. 4-5 hour is too long I am not that big of a fan this will do 🙂
