It has been confirmed by Peter Jackson during a chat session about his new film production “The Hobbit”. His exact words were: “We are working on a Blu-ray version of the with Warner Bros at the moment, not sure when it is due for release. It certainly won’t be this year.” It certainly doesn’t leave room for assumptions or misinterpretations, He was very clear that the Middle Earth is turning “Blu”, he just doesn’t know when… Definitely one of the best movies ever, this is very exciting! The only disappointing part is the extremely long wait. Hopefully, Warner will listen to the fans demanding and release it earlier. I can’t wait to see all those great battle scenes in hi-def. The Hobbit is probably hitting the theaters around 2011, we just hope Warner won’t try to hold The Lord of the Rings Blu-ray release to the same year just to help promote the new movie. That would be ludicrous!

You wrote in your articel, I quote: “…we just hope Warner won’t try to hold The Lord of the Rings Blu-ray release to the same year just to help promote the new movie. That would be ludicrous!”
Honestly I think, that is exactly what they are planing to do, that’s called marketing. You don’t seriously think it take several months to master a Bluray copy of the trilogy. It’s the iphone syndrome, the longer you let people wait until the product arrives, the wilder they go, and the more will buy it.
Brave new consuming world…
