There’s also a booklet called “A Collection of Costume Sketches, Photography and Production Notes” that’s neat to go through, as it shows some of the costumes side by side with their sketches, and offers insights into how certain things were made, like the hobbits’ feet.ĭo you need this set if you already own the movies? Probably not, and while the films aren’t completely devoid of bonus features, the Appendixes aren’t included.
Middle earth blu ray box set plus#
In terms of physical extras, there are seven double sided cards of different locations – one for each movie, plus one of Rivendell, which has cross appeal for both Hobbit and Lord of the Rings fans. Also on the disc is the Festival de Cannes Presentation Reel. These don’t necessarily unearth many new stories (especially if you’ve listened to the cast commentaries for the Lord of the Rings trilogy), but they’re enjoyable enough. Liv Tyler (Arwen), Viggo Mortensen (Aragorn), Orlando Bloom (Legolas), and Cate Blanchett (Galadriel) appear in The Two Towers panel and Ian McKellen (Gandalf), Andy Serkis (Gollum), and Peter Jackson make up The Return of the King panel. Appearing in The Fellowship of the Ring cast reunion are the four hobbits – Elijah Wood (Frodo), Sean Astin (Samwise), Dominic Monaghan (Merry), and Billy Boyd (Pippen). These were conducted to mark the 20 th anniversary of The Fellowship of the Ring, so they are brand new. So, what is exclusive to this set? There is one bonus disk which includes three panels hosted by Tolkien superfan, Stephen Colbert, for Alamo Drafthouse. You can also get digital copies of the theatrical and extended cuts using the codes provided. In terms of what versions of the movies are included, you’re getting both the theatrical and extended cuts of the films in two formats – 4K Ultra HD, and (new to this collection) remastered Blu-Rays (though they’re now available separately). As you can see in the video below, the outside box uses magnets and can be folded in a lot of different formations, so depending on your shelf space you can make it longer and skinner, or wider and shorter.Įach film, then, has its own plastic case and slipcover. The packaging is beautiful and extremely practical. Either way, Warner Brother’s Middle Earth Ultimate Collector’s Edition box set includes all three of Peter Jackson’ s Hobbit movies and his Lord of the Rings trilogy.
