While Peter Jackson‘s The Lord of the Rings movies are already out on Blu-ray, this new box set contains the extended versions of all the films, along with over 26 hours of behind-the-scenes and making-of bonus material, including the Costa Botes documentaries. Either way, it’s still a mouthful, but it’s worth it! (in my opinion). The newly released box art (see above) shows that the word “limited” has been dropped and “The Motion Picture” added to it.
When this set was originally announced, it was titled The Lord of the Rings: The Motion Picture Trilogy Limited Extended Edition Blu-ray Edition, and the box art reflected that name. Now, WB has announced that this 15-disc Blu-ray set will be released on June 28, 2011. At that time, no release date was given, only that it’s be out some time in 2011 or 2012, and that the set was now available for pre-order. Earlier this month, Warner Home Video revealed the details for The Lord of the Rings: The Motion Picture Trilogy Extended Edition Blu-ray Edition box set.
