Peter Jackson talks ROTK: EE

http://www.iansmith.co.uk/lotr/weblogs/Feb29th2004.htm

I\'m sure most of you have heard me blabbing off in the past few weeks but we\'ve just finished the extended cut of the DVD. I finished the edit before I came over here - these poor bastards at Weta have got another 350 effects shots to do! They\'re well on the way. Elijah\'s seen the extended cut. New Line have announced some box set that\'s supposed to be coming out which I didn\'t know anything about. When I\'ve done \'King Kong\' I\'d like to do a proper box set and we\'ve got a whole bunch of material - not of the movie but we\'ve got a whole lot of bloopers out there! When King Kong\'s out the way I\'d like to do a really high definition version with the best possbile picture quality.

This guy is almost nerdy the next person who posts. :nerd:
