Some guy on the Blu board claims he has inside information.

The News:

"The Lord of the Rings Trilogy will be released on both Blu-ray and HD-DVD on November 23, 2007.

Here is the interesting part:

As a gesture of good faith over the Matrix release, New Line/WB will be releasing only the Extended Editions on Blu-ray at this time, while HD-DVD will get only the Theatrical Versions.

The Blu-ray version will be on a BD50 in VC-1 with PCM!! It will also showcase a lot of the neat features of BD-J.

His source also had this to say about the Matrix coming out on HD-DVD before BD:


"As of now nothing has changed. WB still intends to release all future HD releases at the same time. I have heard nothing about this release on HD-DVD for May 22nd. I will let you know tomorrow if I hear anything."

It's extremely doubtful that they would release two different versions simutaneously.

So the statement below is what gives Joshy Beatboy the wiggle room he'll use when his statement is proven false when LOTR is released to both formats.

I'm format neutral as well but these types of rumours only fuel hysteria over there. Notice the way he worded is pronouncement as if HD DVD would be shortchanged by not having the extended version on the concurrent release (notice as well he doesn't state: wouldn't have the extended version...for now). Instead his assertion is truncated - an invitation for further acrimony.

If wrong he deserves the trashing. You give trash, you get it back. If he's right then his record will have improved to 1.5% right.

Seriously, nothing against Beatboy but if he didn't have inside info on The Matrix why would he have inside info on LOTR.
LOTR is bigger than the Matrix and release info on that in HD would be so closely guarded that leaking it early would have serious consequences to everyone involved, like getting fired and sued.
Would you leak this info so some big mouth could post it on a forum?
I thought so.

I think LOTR will be coming out in November and an official announcement will come soon, but I highly doubt BR will get some special super edition based on the Matrix HD DVD release because supposedly the Matrix will come out in the fall in BR.

Gary,

With all due respect, Oshodi was dead on many times but he was still a rumor mongerer. Beat is clearly partisan and clearly biased to the core. Note the glee in his pronouncement and the childish tone of the quote. Its a sad day when people think this is the what has become of AVS.

Even if he's right, it would still mean that HD DVD gets the movies and it won't make up for the fact BD still has no interactivity that Warner wants. BD will not get their movies until this is fixed. BD fans should hound Talk rather than Amir. They just don't get it.

I was wondering how they would do the extended editions on hd-dvd, all of them are 3 1/2 - 4 hours long. On a 30GB disc with truehd they might have trouble fitting the EE without making them flippers like they were on DVD.

It's probably the only movies i can think of where the 50gb is actually something beneficial. 98% of other movies out there fit fine on 30gb.

I don't know about that. Warner has a history of releasing the titles that include IME (and who didn't think the Matrix would have IME) on HD DVD first (with the BD version still MIA.) It's happened with every single title with IME - Batman Begins, V for Vendetta, Terminator 3, etc.

Not really seeing as how they know The Matrix will undoubtably be coming to BD with the same features as the HD DVD version once BD-Java is ready. How many WB HD titles have not been released on BD because of that same problem? Lots. But by having a neutral studio giving one format and not the other what is widely considered to be the better cuts of an insanely popular franchise is a joke.

If the person who posted that goofy rumor wanted to make it seem more legit, he should have given a better reason why HD DVD would not have the extended cuts. Instead, we get this, "As a gesture of good faith over the Matrix release..." LOL, really? So WB/New Line feels so bad that they have to delay the BD version of the Matrix because they can't handle it, HD DVD now has to be punished for being on top of things? Riiiiiight. So how come this is only happeing now and not with every other HD DVD exclusive WB film that BD doesn't have? It just makes no sense and the reasoning behind this "big news" is so clearly desperate and pathetic that you just have to laugh at it. LOL.

I don't know why he is still allowed to post on this forum? He is a viral marketer who only spreads false rumors to prop-up Blu Ray and degrade HD DVD.

Inaccurate-by-design rumors to create FUD, or in the case of this latest nonsense, to keep people interested in Blu Ray.

It's unfortunate that his rumor posts are allowed to float around here with no substantiation whatsoever, but that is exactly what’s happening.

Hey everyone, I have an insider source (who wishes to remain anonymous, but is VERY high ranking at FOX) and he tells me that they plan to go format neutral this August. As a gesture to make amends with the HD DVD side, FOX will exclusively release the Original Star Wars Trilogy on HD DVD in November of this year, while Blu Ray will get the CGI re-edits sometime early in 2008.

This would be great if New Line actually took full advantage of both the formats instead of doing their Lowest Common Denominator crap. Actually with audio it's worse than lowest common denominator with Warner, who owns New Line. If the BD side of these Total HD discs is gonna be 25 gigs, they simply can not do LOTR on them without making it look and sound like crap, because then the BD side will be the L.C.D. If this rumor is true I applaud New Line, but the cynic as well as the vulcan in me doesn't believe it.

Harry Potter also has IME listed for the UK versions, just like the Matrix did. So if they're planning to bring any titles out here, they'll most likely be HD DVD timed exclusive depending on when they release them and where BD-J standards are at the time.

I do seem to recall Amir saying the the movie actually required only about 11-12GB when it was mastered in VC-1. I don't know how reliable those "disc movie size" figures from a Windows filesystem are.

Since they have the room, there's probably lots of extra detritus on there anyway.

The release rumor/news could also be a result of Warner setting the example with The Matrix releases by saying 'enough already, you don't have to sit on your big guns.' :D

Let's start another rumor. Warners will release two versions at the same time similar to the Matrix.

I would not be surprised to see it released in two versions on each format at the same time.

03-27-07, 06:46 AM
Since this thread pretty much suggests that everything is rumored and speculative, I would think that this LOTR rumor is pretty much the result of Fox pulling most of the earlier announced BD-titles, leaving the BD release line-up pretty thin. If you look at the latest news from HighDefDigest.com, you'd see that Fox's upcomin BD titles has been pretty much cleaned up from all the postponements, delays and pulling out. Maybe Fox has an increasing tendency/willingness to release on HD DVD?

I would believe that the other reason Warner announced Matrix on HD DVD first, may probably be due to Fox pulling most of their earlier announced BD-titles (seems like a show of no confidence in BD).

While Universal announced their HD DVD line-up much later, Universal still stuck to their 100 HD DVD titles promise (most of the May and June line-up are pretty much confirmed).

There is probably only a couple of releases where the 30gig would seem like a limitiation, and then you can always make two discs. HD DVD has proven itself capable of EQUAL or SUPERIOR quality to Blu-ray on countless occasions. This is loigc.

But there is no logic in the format war, just propaganda. Half of the posts in the LOTR thread are bashing HD DVD. No reason, no purpose, just bashing for bashing's sake.

"The Lord of the Rings Trilogy will be released on both Blu-ray and HD-DVD on November 23, 2007.

Here is the interesting part:

As a gesture of good faith over the Matrix release, New Line/WB will be releasing only the Extended Editions on Blu-ray at this time, while HD-DVD will get only the Theatrical Versions.

The Blu-ray version will be on a BD50 in VC-1 with PCM!! It will also showcase a lot of the neat features of BD-J.

Oh that is absolutely ridiculous. :rolleyes:

"Gesture of good faith"? For what? The BDA being too stupid to mandate BD-J support? How is that WBs fault?

And since New Line has PUBLICLY STATED That LOTR will be a TotalHD release, how in any universe does it make sense that the 25GB BD side will be an hour longer than the 30GB HD DVD side?

You know what...I hope this rumor is true. Maybe this will motivate them to make TL51 a reality fast!! I mean they have 8 months, it's possible.

Jesus, I am w/ Gary...you guys are all making yourselfs look like 2nd grade idiots...every thread in HD DVD forum is full of Toshiba Kool Aid, almost more so than those drinking the Blu Aid over on the other forum...

Yes, he has been wrong in the past, but he has also been right...and while I may not agree with the reasoning (because of Matrix), some of the theories in that thread make sense...most notably concerning size constraints of HD DVD...I simply doubt these can be TOTAL HD discs. My hunch for the two diff versions is they simply cant provide the extended version with the features they plan on Blu Ray on HD DVD...it simply will not fit in all its glory... I too, may be wrong, but when you think about, it does make some sense.

Now, back to your flaming...

No cool aid here. Oshodi was the exact same type of poster as Beatboy, and he was for HD-DVD. Speculation is one thing, but claiming to have an inside source, posting the information without a link, and sticking a phrase at the very bottom of the thread that says "info subject to change" is the epitome of a trolling, lying, deceitful, fanboy that only Oshodi and Beatboy could represent. I only hope Beatboy's claim is correct, because if it isn't, he will have no credibility and will hopefully be banned from this forum.

Pff. I hope it's true. I already have the extended versions on DVD and found them to be just far too long and not as easy to watch as the theatrical versions (which I have only seen on TV). I'm actually hoping the troublemaker is correct.

For "good of the format" reasons I can see why people want the longer versions, but..hey, I'm selfish.

Ok, I'll start:

"My grandma spoke with beatboy's babysitter and she said that her meth dealer heard that Star Wars is going to released next Tuesday on Blu-Ray and that all the Toshiba HD-DVD players in existance will spontaneously combust on April 1 (information subject to change of course)."

Now, THAT, is funny. :D

I *do* find it incredibly hypocritical that Oshodi was banned, yet beatboy77 is allowed to run amok creating pseudo-official announcements every other day.

So why don't we all start posting "official" news, since apparently there's no restriction on it?

Oshodi personally threatened severl members of AVS as well as harrassing them via PM. He got what he deserved.

Why would NL release two versions of the films just to give an olive branch to BR? That doesn't make any sense. If Beatboy said that the movies were comming out first to BR because of them waiting for the TL disc from HDDVD, it would make more sense.

Yes it is. He was also caught in several lies but that isn't what got him banned.
