It has been announced that the Lord of the Rings Trilogy is finally arriving on Blu-Ray April 6th. Currently, Peter Jackson’s only film available in the format is 2005′s King Kong. While the Kong Blu-Ray contains both the theatrical and extended cuts of the film, these Lord of the Rings Blu-Rays will contain only the theatrical versions.
In a recent radio interview, however, Jackson mentioned additional plans to release some of his ‘earlier films’ on Blu-Ray as well in the near future — a list we can only hope covers everything up to 1996′s The Frighteners.
The Lord of the Rings Blu-Ray set will span 9 discs, with the extra features on Standard-Definition DVDs and Digital Copies thrown into the mix as well. Retail price: $99.98.
