The series, distributed by Warner Brothers, won 20 Oscars out of 38 nominations, including Best Picture, Director, Adapted Screenplay, Cinematography, Editing and a Special Achievement Oscar - making it the most accoladed film series in history. Universal are reportedly making an amusement ride based on the films, as well. 8 A sort-of spin-off film, Tolkien, was released in 2019 and centered around the life of the source material's author, Professor JRR Tolkien. The timing of the release is no doubt meant to coincide with Amazon's upcoming TV series, a prequel from the same cinematic universe, set in the period which precedes the opening prologue of The Fellowship of the Ring. All six films were produced, co-written and directed by Sir Peter Jackson and shot by the late Andrew Lesnie: the only film series of this scope to be helmed entirely by one filmmaker and one core creative team throughout. The Lord of the Rings trilogy (2001-2003) was shot back-to-back on fine-grain Super-35mm film, while The Hobbit prequel trilogy (2012-2015) was largely shot on 5K Digital RED EPIC cameras. The reported "slow but steady pace" of the work (which would explain what Peter Jackson has been so quietly up to this last year or so) is reassuring as to the quality of the masters, upscaled or not. Presumably, however, both the theatrical and extended cuts will be made available in widescreen UHD. Its also unclear what version of the film is worked on: the films have a theatrical cut, an extended cut for TV, and - by the director's own admission - could stand to have a third, revised cut, mainly to iron-out continuity issues.
No information exists as to the nature of the digital masters used for this release: whether they are 2K upscales or not, and what the aspect ratio and frame rate for The Hobbit entries will be: the Digital IMAX versions of those films were composed for 2:1 and shown in 48 frames per-second in 3D. 4 A boxset was previously released for BluRay, but without the approval of Jackson.
#MIDDLE EARTH BLU RAY BOX SET FULL#
1 Now, The Digital Bits have confirmed that the rigorous work is being performed on the films in New Zealand (where they were produced) 2 and 4K filme ( ger) confirmed that a six-film UHD boxset is now supposedly slated for an October 2020 release, 3 a full twenty-five years after Jackson first concieved of making the series. Rumours of a 2020 4K release of Sir Peter Jackson's six Middle Earth features started to circulate around October 2019. The six Middle Earth films are reportedly being worked on in New Zealand for a 4K boxset release, currently slated for October 2020.
