It’s not a Hobbit edit, though I would have loved to see Kerr tackle it. (A 3-in-1, I mean.) I’m very happy with the Maple Films version, as things stand.
Kerr will unveil things as he sees fit, but it’s a LOTR project, not recreating something from the past but completing the project, though both of us have evolved our views substantially in the past decade. MY role has been merely one of consultation, and my actual ‘editing’ work has been mostly tweaking it so as to simultaneously publish a companion set.

Enough said about this for the time being. I am screening it for friends in my home, so unless you live in Kansas City you’ll find out in due time. Meanwhile the momentum increases toward The Last Jedi, with V2 of TFA:R hopefully being finished ahead of it.
