Few details are known, other than that The Lord of the Rings trilogy will include nine UHD-BD discs, and The Hobbit trilogy will include six. The remastering process was overseen by Peter Jackson, and performed by Weta Digital. No word yet on if the remasters include higher-resolution CGI renders for LOTR*, or if The Hobbit will be presented at its full 48fps. Here's hoping for both.
Here is the announcement from Sean Astin, Samwise Gamgee himself.
The two 4K trilogies can be pre-ordered from Amazon now, starting at $90 each.
*Update:
An ultimate collector's edition should be releasing Summer 2021, and word is, a Fall edition will be sporting remastered special effects.
