As Tanuki-Go mentioned, it's been discussed over the years, and Peter has resisted the temptation to do a George Lucus with his works thus far. I think at this stage, he's pretty much finished with Middle-earth and this 4K remaster is the last time he'll oversee any work done on the trilogies.
Not yet, but it's coming out next Monday in the UK so we should see some very soon.
Yeah I checked myself and it's clearly a new master, but still HD.Why did they delay it in Germany? It's so frustrating, not that I would ever watch it dubbed.
Green tint is gone on Itunes (still HD but new masters?)

Wouldn't be the worst thing you can do given it's like THE reference point for an outstanding German dub lol
Definitely.
That's a shame because the green screen work on these movies is really weak.
Did you own the blurays? For me personally, I never found the 2 discs to be much of an issue due to the length of the movies. The intermission is usually at a pretty natural break point, and people I watch with typically welcome the chance to get a snack, use the washroom etc.
Um... someone in that thread said they've added extra effects to flashback scenes or something. I am a little concerned right now.The Lord of the Rings Trilogy 4K UHD Extended & Theatrical (2001-2003) - Page 275 - Blu-ray Forum

Some interesting information thus far. It does seem like there have been some significant updates, with the removal of the green tint been the most significant.
There's always the Ultimate edition which may well be even sexier.
Yeah, but the most important ones show that the green tint has finally been banished into the void.
Due to this thread update I checked my itunes version of the trilogy to see if it was updated and i checked between the itunes version and Vudu version (thx to movies anywhere) and man was seeing that a world of a difference. (not 4k yet on my itunes but at least they updated the version i redeemed digitally years ago)
i remember a few pages ago during the original announcement how i was told i was fear mongering because i said this was confusing af.
Isn't that because they have the theaterical and extended editions? one for each disc?
No, the theatrical versions are on single discs of their own. The extended editions are split across two discs each, like the Blu Ray release.
I tend to watch them all the way through, although that's becoming more difficult with ROTK which tend to lose my attention. Fellowship is still as enthralling as ever for me.
I do. It just means a late night since my son isn't old enough to watch them yet
I like the movies on two discs for this reason, so I can watch one disc a night over six days.. lol.
On one occasion I watched all 3 extended movies in one day. Typically I do one movie per day over 3 days, though.
Theatrical cut, extended cut, appendices, and new bonus material.
hmm ok, crazy all the pictures I saw was 2 discs each movie. That's dissapointing.
