You Shall Pass! All you hobbits and middle-earth dwellers that have been traveling all this time in search of the Blu-Ray trilogy collection of THE LORD OF THE RINGS will finally reach the end of your journey because videobusiness reported that Warner Home Video will release ‘your precious’ trilogy in Blu-Ray 9-disc set on April 6th, 2010,.. that is if you’re willing to pay $99.98. I’ll just wait til next year’s Black Friday for a more affordable price tag. Check out the brief details and the vibrant video after this jump…
The nine-disc set, priced at $99.98, will contains the original theatrical versions of the three Peter Jackson-directed Rings films—The Fellowship of the Ring (2001), The Two Towers (2002) and The Return of the King (2003)—along with more than seven hours of special features. The supplemental package will contain mostly special features that were on the various DVD versions of the movies, including featurettes that were originally on LordOfTheRings.net. However, the Blu-ray versions will offer high-def trailers.
The set also will include digital copies of each film and have BD Live access. Prebook date is March 2.
The release will precede Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment’s The Lord of the Rings: Aragorn’s Quest videogame launch, which is scheduled for release on June 30.
Also getting its Blu-ray debut on April 6 is the 1978 animated adaptation of The Lord of the Rings directed by Ralph Bakshi. Warner will deliver this program with new Dolby 5.1 audio and new extra content.
