The Lord of the Rings movies – it’s not over yet!
In an interview at USA Today.com Peter Jackson has revealed he has plans to produce an “ultimate DVD collection of the extended versions” of the LotR movies. However, it’s likely that these won’t be available for two to three years.
Peter says he would like to include documentaries on the making of the movies, to show some unused deleted scenes and as the article points out “the largest still-untapped source of amusement are the bloopers — or “bleepers,” as Jackson calls them”.

YAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAY! *bounces and waits*
You know as happy as I am about this, I reeeeeeeeeaaalllyyyyyy wish the PJ woudld have let us know about this a bit earlier. I mean I wasn’t about to wait for the EE DVDs so I bought the theatrical versions. Iwasn’t about to wait for the Ultimate Collection (UC) so I bought the EE DVDs. I can’t NOT watch the extra stuff coming with the UC so I am going to have to buy that. I am going to end up with freakin’ 3 version of the LotR movies.Not that that’s a bad thing it’s just a bit costly. Maybe if I would have known earlier about theUC I would have just borrowed them from a friend or rented them. That being said ….I CAN’T WAIT TO BUY AND WATCH THE BLOOPERS AND OTHER DELETED SCENES!!!!!! And, IN CONCLUSION, and to quote LadyEowyn_of_Rohan,
*A-hem*, “YAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYA!”
Christmas 2007!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
*dances around shouting YAY YAY YAYY!!*
This is the best news since… well for a long time 😀 I have the EE’s but nothing’s going to stop me from buying that collection, I mean nothing 😀 Can’t wait!
YAY!
🙂 It would be like the Book of Lost Tales then… for some part at least. Extra scenes explaining a bit more about the scenes in the movie. Things that happened in between, PJ’s ideas etc.
I’d really like to see the scene in which the Galadhrim kill the orcs that persecute the Fellowship (extra Lothlórien scene)… the scene in which Arwen talks with Galadriel… the scene of Elrond’s library and Arwen picking up a book on the Paths of the Dead… the scene with Elrond on the bridge, and saying to Arwen: ‘You gave away your life’s grace. I cannot protect you anymore.’ And the scene which explains Arwen’s ‘sickness’… and the shot in which Arwen speeks Sindarin to Aragorn; ‘Law, hir nin, u dollen, i Riw. Anirach, nui lu, gwannad uin gwaith lin?’ 😀
In brief: MORE ELVEN SCENES!! … other scenes would be nice too, but I especially want to see these ones.
Cannot wait! There’s only ONE thing would be BETTER: An improved version of the EE’s together!… with TTT-Style Gollem in FotR, more chronology, the very cheesy Legolas-Gimli jokes out (shieldsurfing, ‘final count’ scene, mumakil balet, last part of the drinking game & last few secs of gimli blowing at ghosts!), included should be a few more Elven moments, and a longer ‘Houses of Healing’.
A version for the true Tolkien fans. Yeah, that would be nice.
Yes, another thing to wait for… Thanks PJ, you just saved my life!!!
And that we have to wait 2-3 years for it makes it even better!!! Then we have a long time to guess what’s going to be on, except for the fact that I LOVE that he’ll include bloopers…. hahaha, that’s gonna be so fun to see….
Man I hope the scenes with Legolas and Gimli leaving ME will be included, that would be great…. some kind of 15 minutes movie with what happened the part of the Fellowship who stayed in ME….
*cheeeers* This is the best news since I first heard the phrase ‘extended edition DVD’. I’d love to see PJ get everyone back together and film everything in the book, everything that was chopped and changed to make it run better as a movie, but I think that’s me getting my hopes up too high. He knows only die-hard fans are going to buy this, so he might as well give us all the stuff we love, the background and the history and the conclusions at the end. Appendices! Heehee, I’d even sit through the indices and family trees if they were properly dramatised 😉
WOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOO! Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes!!!!!!!!
Yay…I can’t wait…I am probably going to go and get them. More deleted scenes and bloopers…yay….I don’t care if it’s coming out in 2-3 years.
Oh my gosh!!!! I can’t w8!!*does the very very very happy dance* it is soooo loong*sob* I am not going to make it!!!
It will be hard but I can wait for it.
I love LOTR.
Most of my Family members dont like it.
They say it’s has to much horror in it.
I think it has to much fighting in it Because, in the
book helm deep was only about
four pages and in the movie it was one hour long.
But still I love LOTR.

Alright! I still have something to look forward to! Hope I can afford it, though…
YYYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!….screams for an eternity
YAAAAAAAAAY! I can’t wait! I was wondering where all the bloopers (“Bleepers
😀 ) were!
YAY! MORE LOTR!!! BLOOPERS!!!!
*does happy Frodo dance*
I can’t wait! (Which is probably a bad thing…)
Ohhh Yes! I new there would be more to do. The saying is “It’s never over untill it’s over”. PJ give me those BLOOPERS…..or as you call them BLEEPERS. Bleepers…HAhahahaha, Bleepers…that’s cute.
*goes slightly spastic* YAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAY!!!! WHEEEE!! *dances* i cant wait..! but… it seems so far away.. 2 to 3 years…. *whimpers* lets all have a lot of fun so time flies more quickly =D!! the sooner the better!! *dances in joy*
Must see movie!!! Must see movie!!! 2/3 years!! That’s way too long. I’ can’t wait that long!
As has been previously said: Yaaaaaay! Yippee! Whee! *Ahem* Anyway, I’d been hoping and praying for something like this. I don’t think he’ll film more, but perhaps give us all those tidbits we saw in trailers, saw stills of, then went “Hey! Where did such-and-such scene go?” Yeah, it’ll get pricey (I also have both the theatrical and extended additions as well), but well worth it. Thank you, Mr. Jackson! And yes, ‘bleepers’ will definitely make it. I wanted to see it all, every booboo and “nah, that won’t work” scene. Coolenes…
Belle (a serious LoTR freak)
Yay!!!!
lol…I just shouted, “I love Peter Jackson” when I read this…someone now believes I am in love with this guy named Peter…;) lol
It’ll be really expensive, though…:( 🙁 🙁
Am I the only one who thinks this is a wretched idea? We’ve had the theatrical editions and the extended editions, and now Jackson wants to rehash the whole thing with more documentaries wrapped together with inane bloopers (which, from Jackson’s pet name, will apparently consist primarily of hobbits cussing). What do you suppose the re-watchability factor will be? I predict zero.
We’re not going to get updated versions of the films that are more faithful to Tolkien. We’re going to get an overindulgent dose of the trivial. Why would Jackson spend 2-3 years of his time on such a project? Why not spend it on a much more worthwhile, notable, and/or original project? (The Hobbit, perhaps?)
I think its not a bad idea at all. There are those of us interested in the making of the movies, what went on behind them, and seeing bloopers and the like. There are also those of us who have been waiting for bloopers since film one. ^_^ I think its great that PJ is coming out with something else for us fans to look forward to. I love watching the documentaries either way, being interested in the whole moviemaking process. (especially weta) so, to quote almost everyone else who’s posted: YAAAAAAAAAAAY!!!!
YES! YES YES YES YES YES YES! I have something LotR Related to wait for! My life has meaning! lol! *does very very very happy dance* bloopers or “bleepers” this will be great I die laughing at the behind the scenes in the EE DVD now ( on some things) and more bloopers! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOO! I can not wait! I just hope more and more and more stuff keeps coming out! YAY!
OH MY GOD! THE BLOOPERS! I HAVE BEEN WAITING MY WHOLE LIFE FOR BLOOPERS! Thank you SO much PJ! You have saved my life!
well, that’s all very cool, but what’s the point? 99% of LOTR fans will already own the seperate EE DVD’s, and if not then probably the 3-in-1 EE collection that came out same time as ROTK EE. If the bloopers etc had been included on them then that’d be okay, but releasing all3 EE’s + new stuff over a year after the films have finished & everyones bought the normal EE’s, then what’s the point?
oh my god i hope this is true i bet the bloopers r funny
Ahhhh! That would be soooo amazing!!!! I can’t wait!! But, two to three years!?!?! That’s so very very long!….. Oh well.. *pitches a tent and starts waiting outside the movie store*.
Hooray for Peter and Fran!!
Hip Hip *waits for hooray* *crickets* HOORAY!

THIS IS THE BEST NEWS SINCE… SUCH A LONG TIME!!!!
I LUV THE TITLE OF THIS ARTICLE ‘THE LORD OF THE RINGS MOIVIES…IT’S NOT OVER YET!’
I CAN’T WAIT, ACTUALLY, I’VE NOW GOT A LITTLE SIGN ON MY WALL SAYING REMEMBER TO WAIT THE 2-3 YEARS. I COULDN’T LAMINATE IT BUT I COVERED IT WITH TAPE SO IT’S KINDA LIKE LAMINATED PAPER ANYWAYS.
OK, HERE IT GOES, 2-3 YEARS OF WAITING, STARTING……NOW.
THATS SO COOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
BLEEPERS…I LOVE THAT!!!!!
Okay, everyone. Here’s the plan. We build a giant statue of Peter Jackson, and hold a bakesale in front of it. Then we wait for its rumor to spread. Then when the news crews come we have them interview some scary kid dressed as Gandalf who will express his joy upon discovering that there WILL be an “ultimate extended edition DVD collection” WITH bloopers. Peter Jackson, upon seeing this, will be compelled, or forced, by apreciation, or fear, to create the BEST DVD collection KNOWN TO MAN, and VICTORY SHALL BE OURS! WHO’S WITH ME?!
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!BLOOPERS!! BLOOPERS!! BLOOPERS!!!!! Peter Jackson is the most AWESOME DIRECTOR THAT EVER LIVED!!!!!!! YES YES YES!! He is going to make the BEST MOVIE IN THE HISTORY OF MOVIES THAT HAS EVER BEEN AROUND!!!! WHEN WILL THE MADNESS STOP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!*does happy Frodo dance!!* MWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA *Ahem*
Finally…I’ve been talking about this with my brother since we got the Extended DVD of the Fellowship, so for ages basically :P. Thank God, Peter feels the same way and is willing to give us fans what we are craving for! 😉
Yaaaaaaaaay!!! I think it’s a wonderful idea. YAY!
But that’s not fair! *wails* that’s not fair! My parents will never get me more DVDs and I can’t afford it, and I might have waited had I known that! They said thay wouldn’t put out new stuff later! How could he?!? *crawls away and cries*
Always awaiting for more – however it comes – I don’t care if they produce one every year for the next 10 years – I will still be lining up to buy and watch them and laugh myself silly at the commentaries from the crew and cast.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Happy-happy-happy! Excitement! Eeeeeeeeek!
AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!ME HAPPY!!!!!!!!!!!!! you wanna hear something so sad? im a completely insanely obssessed over lotr and i dont OWN ANY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! when these come out i am soooooooooooooooooooooo buying them. i was so sad when i “thought” it was the end of the stuff to come out on lotr, but now im happy again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Because The Lord Of The Rings was such a huge project there was alot of unused footage and alot of aspects in the film to be documented but I think that the Extended Editions were the limit with over 20 hours of special features and an hour of extra scenes, you couldn’t really go anywhere from there but worse.
Although I have to admit this ultimate DVD may be interesting to watch it is basically going over everything you have seen in the EE.
I think PJ should be looking into something new like The Hobbit which I am sure alot of people are waiting for.
Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! thank hevan for peter jackson. I bet no one would have done this. (starts dancing while yelling whoo!!!!!!!!)
well what can one say other than WOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
