The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit trilogies are being released on 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray

Information technology's going to be your incomparable look at Center World yet — The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit trilogies are ultimately getting a 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray release, with preorders now on tap and shipping opening from December 1st in the US. That's just eventually for the holidays.

The news was shared by none otherwise Samwise Gamgee himself via fansite TheOneRing, with actor Sean Astin announcing the remaster in the telecasting below. "At once, because IT's in 4K UHD you know it's going to be the almost incredible internal-viewing experience possible," said Astin. "Peter Jackson oversaw the remastering himself, and I can say that working with Peter was the adventure of a life-time, and the friendships that I successful will last forever. Enjoy."

The Lord of the Rings is going to be especially delightful to see in 4K UHD, as the original trilogy was shot on 35mm film using a great deal of concrete effects (including massive miniatures) which agency scaling skyward the resolution should work quite naturally for the most part. As for The Hobbit trilogy (which was shot digitally with copious CGI), well, some people enjoyed those films and some people didn't. And that's all I'll say about that.

That's non altogether, though. In addition to the two 4K UHD trilogy boxsets — which will include both the theatrical performance and extended versions of all six films — there's too an Supreme Collectors Variant with new bonus content and remastered LotR Blu-ray discs that's due to arrive in summertime 2021. So, if you're desperate you can grab the 4K UHD editions of the films now, or you can wait until adjacent year for the most complete and advanced versions.

According to The Digital Bits, the remastered films come out of the closet this year will support the Dolby Imaginativeness and HDR10 High High-octane Ramble standards, also as Dolby Atmos audio.
