Peter Jackson co-wrote and produced the upcoming film Mortal Engines, due out December 14, 2018 .

So I listened to this hour-long podcast interview with Michael Pellerin : http://geekleagueofamerica.com/2015/12/09/leaguecast-bonchael-pellerin/ At about the 54:45 mark they briefly talk about how the LOTR footage was shot, but unfortunately they don't go into any more detail than that it's...

Interesting to look back and see what I was right and wrong about about UHD Blu-ray. :) I found this blog post from Costa Botes that states his footage was SD, but doesn't specify the format: https://costabotes.com/making-of-lord-of-the-rings/ Michael Pellerin did the bulk of the LOTR...

No, they've been in the business of Blu-ray replication lines since...

No. Reading the original press release, Singulus says that the 100GB discs are "ideal for," "suitable" for, and "in time for" 4K content, but not that the discs are part of any 4K standard. Their press release even states that the BDA has not yet established a new standard.As stated before...

Could you please provide links to what you've read, because I can't find anything but rumors from September based on a misreading of a German press release for 100GB Blu-ray XL dics.To my mind, once a format is completely unreadable on a current player, it is no longer an extension of an...

That's like calling Blu-ray an extension of DVD, since many Blu-rays include a DVD version of the movie as well. On a technical level, they won't be the same format, regardless of branding. H.264 is claimed to be "at least twice as efficient as MPEG-2", so the change from DVD to Blu-ray saw a 6x...

The rumor of UHD Blu-ray discs apparently started in Sept because of this German press release: http://www.singulus.de/de/press-news/press-releases/press-release/article/singulus-technologies-presents-production-technology-for-100-gb-blu-ray-disc/7.html Of course, the press release doesn't say...

One: No Blu-ray will ever be in UHD. UHD will require some new video format for delivery (like REDRay, which isn't a disc format).Two: The Extended Edition Blu-rays maximize the quality of the Blu-ray format, with lossless audio and a relatively high video bitrate. They could've squeezed it all...

Jackson picked Ian Holm because he didn't think he'd make The Hobbit (rights were a tangled mess at that point) and he wanted to pay Ian Holm tribute for his previous portrayal of Frodo in the radio adaptation. It's similar to how the film version of Les Misérables casted Colm Wilkinson, the...

It's possible, but it doesn't seem likely. PJ hasn't really shown a penchant for going back and revising the films, even on seemingly minor things. On the FOTR EE commentary, PJ jokes about replacing the Gollum footage with the revised model they used for TTT and ROTK, but nothing's come of that...

Here's the link to the interview: http://collider.com/philippa-boyens-the-hobbit-interview/217111/ She's talking about the extended edition of The Hobbit, which will contain a scene with Bilbo and Elrond that will add resonance to the scenes with Bilbo in Rivendell in LOTR. They're not...

Not going to happen. Ian Holm is in The Hobbit as old Bilbo. http://insidemovies.ew.com/2011/04/22/the-hobbit-ian-holm-is-officially-in-as-old-bilbo/

As for the running times of the EEs, they run between 3 1/2 hours to 4 hours long, although the full credits for ROTK EE extend it to around 4 1/3 hours.

More details on the fiasco here: http://www.smart.co.uk/dreams/tidecrop.htm http://www.hometheaterforum.com/forum/thread/246991/tideland-terry-gilliam-s-latest-on-dvd-2-27 So, even with a director involved, there's no guarantee that the finished product is correct, especially if the...
