How long will it be until LOTR is released on VHS? (1 Viewer)

[NathanP]

I LOVE this movie..

Thing is, the dvd won't be out for awhile (2004 if I'm correct) and usually, the VHS copy is out mucho time before the dvd is out..

I can't believe I'm asking this but:

When can I expect to see the VHS version of this?

2004? I thought it was going to be released this year?

If I'm right, we should see the DVD 6 months before the VHS. I think.

I hope I'm right, I'm looking forward to this DVD!

The DVD is schedualed for August 2002

The LOTR BOX SET won't be out till 2004

 

[Sean Conklin]

I thought so. Thank goodness!
So Nathan you only have to wait till August for the DVD. So forget the VHS.

I keep hearing that it will be out on DVD in August of this year along with the full trailer to The Two Towers. Lots of bonus material as expected. It will not be an Infinifilm release because of the length and various audio tracks including a full length commentary by Peter Jackson. Over 600 hours of behind the scenes material is out there so maybe they can do a featurette that is just as good as Episode I. A special box set is also planned for release after the 3 films make it to dvd.

No details about the R rated director's cut though, if they still plan on doing that(still rumored). I sure hope for one.

Wow you guys are quick.

 

[Inspector Hammer!]

WHEW!! Nathan, you scared the crap out of me! 2004! I was about to go completly apeshit!

 

[Sean Conklin]

Over 600 hours of behind the scenes material is out there

600 hours? Thats like a month or something, could you mean 60 hours? Geez that's a lot too!
Maybe 6 hours?
EDIT: Well maybe your right, 600 hours of documented behind the scenes footage, that's possible, if there's really that much then we should get a pretty loaded disc.

 

[Jason Harbaugh]

I didn't mean that there would be 600 hours on the dvds. They have been filming for quite a while you know. TPM had over 600 hours of behind the scenes material as well. It will probably be edited down to an hour like TPM.

Jason, that's what I figured thats why I edited my post, of course they could have that much footage.

 

[Jason Harbaugh]

Got it Sean. We are editing and replying so fast that it is hard to keep up.

I might also add that it's become practice to release the DVD of a film quite a bit before the VHS comes out, at least with most releases today.

Not to change the topic, but isn't sad that the entire LOTR trilogy will probably be out on DVD at least two years sooner than the first three (original) Star Wars movies? :frowning:
(Well, I guess they won't be so original when Lucas gets done with them for DVD.)

 

[Jason Harbaugh]

Star what?
Sorry but couldn't resist. I'm waiting for them too.

Just as long as Back to the Future makes it out before.

Just as long as Back to the Future makes it out before.

Amen on that quote!!!!!!

I'm kinda a reality kind of guy...

These were NathanP's posts from the FOTR - Official pre-release discussion thread.
I'm glad to see you changed your mind...

LOL Wiggle!

 

[DaViD Boulet]

Anyone else out there like me that would like to see some of those deleted scenes *incorporated* back into the movie on the DVD and not just tacked on the end as "extras"???
They could do branching or something ala T2.
who would we contact to express our opinion to help this become reality?
