TheHutt writes: During their TotalHD press conference at CES, Warner announced that New Line was working on the Lord of the Rings trilogy for both HD DVD and Blu-ray. While they did confirm that the titles were in the works, no details were given. A source close to the matter gave us a few details of the upcoming release, these include:
- Main feature will be a single DL disc on both HD DVD and Blu-ray. (no word if it will be a TotalHD disc (TotalDVD is a double-sided combination of HD-DVD and Blu-Ray)
- The movies will be the Theatrical Versions of each film.
- Both discs will be encoded using VC1
- These will be the first titles to use Dolby TrueHD 7.1 Audio
- Due to bandwidth constraints, as of now there will be no IME (“In Movie Experience”) like features.

Arevanye writes: Netflix has partnered with Martin Scorsese’s non-profit organization, The Film Foundation (TFF), to celebrate this holiday season with a unique program. Through this joint venture, TFF provided Netflix with holiday-themed artwork from some of Hollywood’s A-list stars, including Orlando Bloom, Leonardo DiCaprio, Peter Jackson, Martin Scorsese and Charlize Theron. The original celebrity designs will grace the outside of a select number of the iconic Netflix red envelopes which will be distributed to members this holiday season. Netflix will make a donation to TFF as part of the campaign. [More]
A huge thank you to the Ringers who responded to our Sideshow Gift Card post yesterday. Here’s what we have confirmed: Only the FOTR DVD contains the card (at an avg of $18 per DVD, not a bad deal!); each card is worth either $25 or $50 for an in-stock purchase at SideshowCollectibles.com; All copies of FOTR seem to have the card, even from big-box stores. Thanks again to all the Ringers who helped us figure out the promotion. LOTR In-Stock Items
If you haven’t already picked up your Special Edition LOTR DVD set…what are you waiting for? How about a free $25 or $50 gift card to purchase Sideshow/Weta stuff at SideshowCollectibles.com? We’ve been getting some reports from Ringers across the country that select sets have a card included with them. We suspect this is another situation where big-box stores like Wal-mart or Target remove the cards, but not-so-big-box stores like Best Buy leave them in. If you got one, drop us a line and tell us where at spymaster@theonering.net. If you did get one, here’s a link to Sideshow’s listing of in-stock LOTR Items. LOTR In-Stock Items
