hindi na malamang magkakaroon ng boxset yung LOTR.... ang boxed sets ay yun na mismong mga EE di ba?

yes but with some restorations here and there.. from what i've read in other forums, peter jackson wants to clean up gollum from FOTR to make him look like the gollum in TTT

May 25, 2004 is a Tuesday. So it checks out with the usual Tuesday DVD release dates in the US. I hope they release the R1 locally on or near the US release date.

unless we have different calendars.. i just checked again, 25 is a thursday.

May 25 is a tuesday. March 25 is a thursday.

both of you have the same calendar. you're just looking at different months.

sana sa May na nga! but then March doesn't sound so bad. ehehehehe...

Wiggum · « **Reply #814 on:** Feb 20, 2004 at 06:45 AM »

Yup, I think we're looking at the same calendar.

May 25, 2004, which dvd.ign.com leaked as the release date for the ROTK theatrical DVD, is a Tuesday. But, like animated said, if it's going to be released on March 25 (even earlier than Matrix Revolutions or Master and Commander), then who's complaining???

Peace!

New Line has confirmed March 8th 2004 to be that date they will announce the full details on the DVD version of "Return of the King."

If this announcement include details on the extended cut of the film is still unknow but it is likely that some information about this release will be revealed as well.

the excitement of owning LOTR: ROTK on DVD has significantly increased after it scored an unprecedented sweep at the just concluded 76th Academy Awards, setting an Oscar record by winning ALL 11 awards for which it had been nominated, including Best Picture of the year.

johndoe · « **Reply #820 on:** Mar 01, 2004 at 09:14 PM »

i think it will be the biggest selling dvds this year both theatrical and extended edition

miami_dude · « **Reply #821 on:** Mar 02, 2004 at 01:33 AM »

I'll just wait for the Extended version na lang since Extended sets yung first 2 ko

animated · « **Reply #822 on:** Mar 02, 2004 at 07:51 AM »

i wonder if they'll include the acceptance speeches from the oscars like they did in the godfather dvd boxset.

i'm excited on how the extended edition documentaries will end too!

MiKeBiBbY · « **Reply #823 on:** Mar 02, 2004 at 10:08 AM »

one word: VINDICATED!!! after FOTR and TTT were snubbed in the previous oscars, its only fitting that ROTK "sweeps" the competition this time around.

"believe! all will be well."

and as for the dvds, i won't be surprised if the street date for the EE is moved. me here expect the acceptance speeches to be in the EE release.

halvert · « **Reply #824 on:** Mar 02, 2004 at 02:26 PM »

they should include the speeches as this is a historic moment. and more easter eggs. sana yung love story ni faramir at eowyn e nasa extended.

JhunDV · « **Reply #825 on:** Mar 02, 2004 at 04:11 PM »

My family is now doubly excited for this DVD after sweeping the Oscars. Tagal ng May!!!

..and the saruman scene

diesel · « **Reply #827 on:** Mar 02, 2004 at 06:10 PM »

i'm still puzzled why they didn't include saruman scenes.

can't wait for the extended ROTK.

edboy7 · « **Reply #828 on:** Mar 02, 2004 at 06:18 PM »

by winning the sound mixing category

ROTK EE should be added to our audio demo dvds

....KABOOM!...NOV BA ANG RELEASE NG ROTK EE?

greatbop · « **Reply #829 on:** Mar 02, 2004 at 08:39 PM »

nah. i think they should finally insert the Cannes Film Festival teaser into either RoTK DVDs. now that is something i've been HOPING TO SEE FOR THE LONGEST time in my life.

FROM IGN:

Lots of happenings surrounding The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King since its Oscar sweep. For starters, it will be returning (sorry) to more than 2,000 theaters next weekend for one last attempt to boost the box office take, which already stands at $364.1 million domestically.

Now for the bigger news. There was a party thrown by TheOneRing.net and the man of the hour Peter Jackson was there. The Digital Bits was the first to carry this blurb regarding the extended edition and a high-definition transfer of the movies.

"I'm sure most of you have heard me blabbing off in the past few weeks but we've just finished the extended cut of the DVD. I finished the edit before I came over here - these poor bastards at Weta have got another 350 effects shots to do! They're well on the way. Elijah's seen the extended cut. New Line have announced some box set that's supposed to be coming out which I didn't know anything about. When I've done King Kong I'd like to do a proper box set and we've got a whole bunch of material - not of the movie but we've got a whole lot of bloopers out there! When King Kong's out the way I'd like to do a really high definition version with the best possible picture quality."

Now, this is interesting because New Line hasn't announced any box set. Last week we had a story that first ran on DVDAnswers, a U.K.-based site, of an upcoming toy faire in Europe where New Line made mention of a LotR box set for 2005. But at this point we haven't heard any word. New Line has an announcement planned for Monday regarding RotK, and who knows, we may get more information on a box set.

His timing on a high definition transfer for the films would be perfect. King Kong isn't due until 2005, so figure with post-filming work, such as DVD prep, by the time he can turn his sights on a high-def LotR release it would be 2006, which is when HD-DVD should be hitting the market. Now that would be the tail wagging the dog for HD-DVD.

Now for the not so good news. The rumor mill regarding the RotK DVD releases has been the two-disc release in May and the extended edition around August. Well, scratch that. Here's a Jackson comment from the OneRing party regarding a prank played on Elijah Wood.

"…It's just something that we are going to put on the DVD in November for the extended Return of the King…"

So it looks like no early release for RotK.

Wiggum · « **Reply #831 on:** Mar 03, 2004 at 01:23 PM »

Great updates! Wonder which set will be this year's bestseller: the ROTK EE DVD set (due in November), or the Star Wars OT DVD set (due in September)?

Buti hindi magsasabay. Time to save!

Mr. Big Boy · « **Reply #832 on:** Mar 03, 2004 at 05:07 PM »

My Bet is on Star Wars siempre. Pero I'm more excited about the ROTK EE release.

animated · « **Reply #833 on:** Mar 03, 2004 at 06:22 PM »

oh crap-o-la. high definition transfers?

not that i'm complaining though. i would like to see a box set of the extended cuts. but then, that'll cost more money.

hmm... let's see. need an HD dvd player. new cables, new... AAARGH! oh the humanity!

heheheh.

Well, after watching LOTR, then the orginal Star Wars trilogy, parang corny na yung Star Wars

LOTR ruined it

johndoe · « **Reply #835 on:** Mar 03, 2004 at 09:44 PM »

star wars is more of the effects and sound lang(though i must say its innovative,kaya nga ang lakas ng hype pag star wars)..lotr,drama+modern technology=11 oscars!

same as titanic..

drojan · « **Reply #836 on:** Mar 03, 2004 at 10:34 PM »

i think lotr will outsell starwars!! ofcourse im just being biased! hehe

ThePatriot · « **Reply #837 on:** Mar 03, 2004 at 10:47 PM »

will buy both

laki na namang gastos nito :'(

Mr. Big Boy · « **Reply #838 on:** Mar 04, 2004 at 12:19 AM »

Star Wars got wider appeal than ROTK. Pati mga gurang bibili ng Star Wars and the younger audience will also love to see the sequel to Episode 1-3.

But as I have said mas excited talaga ako sa ROTK. You can't compare the two naman being from different genre.

aldrinpsx · « **Reply #839 on:** Mar 04, 2004 at 05:17 AM »

This will be great to a wall together with the DVD Collections.

PEACE!!!
