BIA: Hell's Highway 'Realism' trailerIt should come as no surprise that The Lord of the Rings trilogy will be making its way to Blu-ray, the victor of the format war, yet the announcement still sends scintillating shivers down my spine. Peter Jackson, director of the trilogy, recently revealed the existence of the LOTR Blu-ray when discussing the upcoming Hobbit film.
"We are working on a Blu-ray version of the Lord of the Rings trilogy with Warner Bros at the moment, not sure when it is due for release. It certainly won't be this year."

So there you have it, official confirmation from the horse's mouth. We'll keep you posted on when you'll be able to acquire the one Blu-ray to rule them all.

niice i have been waiting for that to come out... ima b broke when i buy it tho
shivers.... indeed.... :-p
"certainly won't be this year"??? why is it so hard?? Is it just to help with hype for the Hobbit movie?
I want a Starwars Blu-ray collection more.
My precioussss.
yeeeeeeeeeesssssssssssssss...................
yeah I was checking this out on amazon the other day. I'm really looking forward to purchasing this in the near future! "it certainly won't be this year" - WHAT!
psn id: gingo.... cant wait to see this fantastic trilogy in some high definition, will definitely be a spectacal and i will wait for as long as it takes to make it good
How about classics like The matrix and Jurassic park??
Im a big kid at heart and I have three kids of my own so how about toy story and some of the classic cartoons like tom and jerry and tail spin. Some of you might not know about that, that was early 90s. Some of you were babys. Dont get it wrong im only 25.
psn id: I95SOUTH<--- The daddy of them all
Who cares the movies suck.
@I95South
i'm 25 too and i grew up with those cartoons also. those were the days bro. Darkwing duck and s***. tale spin, and Duck Tales with scrooge mcduck, all after school. Ghostbusters back in the late 80s was huge for me.
sounds great one of the trilogys that needs to be brout to bluray.
ooohh yeeaaahhhh! I've been waiting for this!!! 'one ring to rule them all'!!! If only godfather trilogy and starwars double trilogy go to blu-ray too.....
Haha Peter isnt a fan of Blu-ray its so funny but theres no other format to release it :)
It would be wise for them to re-think thier release schedule for this title as Blu-Ray will not hold at the current prices on the retail market forever! No I would say this coming holiday season would be the right time before Blu-Ray retail prices drop in 2009 :).
This movie would be amazing in 1080p.
I think I know why it won't be this year. If you remember, they released the DVD's just 2 months before each new movie would come out. I hope they don't wait until 2010 to release the trilogy on Blu-Ray though. I want these SOOOO bad! Next up....where's Star Wars?
Sucketh on the ringeth. A trilogy of great effects and no moral value.
So is every Blu-Ray movie release going to be a news story from now on around here? I guess I could start going to IGN instead...
Can't wait for the release...when I get LOTR trilogy on BD, Im selling my LOTR DVD's :D
I just love those movies, soo I just can't wait for the release on blu-ray...come on!
Bingepurge_99 --> YEA :D and Jurassic Park is also one of the movie-series im waiting to get on BD!
/Rechain
best news I heard all day! I'll be buying this for sure! Not this year though, wtf? How hard is it to encode it in BluRay? Give me a break......
Bingepurge_99 --> I already have Matrix on Blu-Ray :)
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!

And screw Star Wars. That crap is dead. 4 and 5 were the only good ones. ROTJ just gets shoe-horned in because it has all the resolution from the "first two". The prequels are abominations...yeah, episode III as well.
Yay! hopefully I'll have an HD tv by then....
Cool. This might be my first Blu Ray movie(s) to start my collection.. Now, how about the Starwars trilogy's?!
How can it take so long to release/make blu-ray version? It's not like they need to film it again or anything.
Looking more forward to Star Wars saga on Blu-ray, but nice though!
Nice, wonder how much the trilogy will cost.
already own all three which i neeed to watch again sometime but looking forward to the hobbits film.
Can't wait for the boxset and to the upcoming hobbit movie too. ^_^
They better release the extended editions in Blu Ray as well though
There's nothing I want more on Blu-ray than this trilogy. :-)
Why even wait? Just download the HD Xvid torrents that are out. They're awesome quality. A laptop with HDMI out is your friend.
Oh, yes... Hopefully they will release the extended versions of the films... Good news indeed :)
Finally!!! Now we need Star Wars to follow suit...
