After some careful consideration I decided to have a go at remastering the extended edition blurays of the Lord of the Rings trilogy, starting with The Fellowship of the Ring. Since the bluray for FOTR has a number of issues, and is generally considered too green, the first step will be to regrade the bluray based on 35mm film reference frames. I finished regrading the first half of the film. Here are a few example shots:

Here’s an album with a 150 shots:

Each official home release of LOTR (Theatrical/Extended Cut) had issues and was far from perfect. The DVD was just soft, the Theatrical Bluray and 4k-Bluray/Remastered Bluray suffered from DNR. The Extended Bluray from 2011 had black crush and a green tint (especially the first movie). This new 4k Dremaster is based on the Extended Bluray because it is the most detailed and sharpest of them all. To get rid of the green tint DrDre decided to regrade the whole movie using reference camera negatives (35mm) which were delivered to cinemas back in the day.

Here are the main features of the “Extended Edition - 4k Dremaster”:

  1. New Color-Grading (you have never seen this before on any home release)
  • no green tint
  • more nuanced and neutral than the DVD/Theatrical Bluray
  • more exiting than the 4k-Bluray/Remastered Bluray
  1. No DNR => Grain is still intact, which gives the movie a nice cinematic look
  2. No Edge Enhancement => looks more natural
  3. 4k-Upscale to make the movie more detailed and sharper

You really have to see and compare it to the other releases. I can say that this 4k Dremastered is the best this movie has ever looked.

Does anyone have the link to part 2, and a corrected part 1?

  1. Part II is not finished yet. Have to wait for DrDre.
  2. What do you mean with “Corrected Part 1” ?

Back when I PMd DrDre for part 1 he said there would be a corrected part 1 when part 2 comes out. He didnt say what that meant though. I assume that’s what ConstipatedSpidey is asking about.

Oh. He didn’t mention this to me 😃 Interesting. But kind of makes sense to release one final version where both parts are matched.
Well, sadly I haven’t heard from DrDre since end of September 2023 😦

Yeah, same. Hopefully he’s just working hard on it.

There was a comment a few pages back saying he had to take time off the project for work but would start again in January so hopefully we’ll get an update soonish

That’s right. I guess I misunderstood the message about Part 2 and thought it was done.

Could I please have a link to both the theatrical and the first part of the extended.

Forgive me as I’m a big LotR fan, but I’m not very computer technical at all, so do I just download this from the link onto my laptop then hdmi play it through my projector, or do I need some extra file transferring software?

Again, thank you.

Wanted to re-watch the trilogy and found that each release seems to have some sort of issue, which lead me to this thread which gives me hope that eventually we’ll have a full trilogy release with no major flaws.
Having hdr as well would be nice, but that feels like something that would be a bit more controversial and subjective given they weren’t originally shot in hdr.

Eagerly awaiting the rest of the releases and if anyone has a link to the first part they could send me I would greatly appreciate it.
