This project certainly looks fantastic, I have been leaving my copy of FOTR Bluray on the shelf for years now and using the original DVD. To be able to see the complete trilogy in HD with the original colour values sounds fantastic. From the screens, and sheer scope of the project, I applaud you!

Has Two Towers been comparatively less work? I feel like there is less wrong with the HD EE, what has been completed?

Would appreciate a copy of FOTR if you’re able to make one available, and would love to compare your progress on Two Towers to my HD EE/DVD if you want a second opinion on anything 😃

I just found out about this project. I’m almost in tears knowing someone worked this hard to enhance this masterpiece to it’s former glory. I would love to see it, can I get a link/copy for this?

Thank you so so so much for your hard work!

I always KNEW something was wrong about the Blu-ray and my GF who never saw the DVDs would roll her eyes each time I mentioned it during our yearly re watch (yes, she’s the best). I feel so vindicated!!! I am not enough of a video/color nerd and since I dont have the DVDs anymore I could never pinpoint exactly why it was so much more … magical? in my memories! I would love to be able to get my hands on this version! How can I prove that I own a copy of the movies to get a link? I’ll do whatever it takes to view this in its restored glory! Thank you for the passion and the dedication, you guys are a big part of why I love Cinema

Is this project still ongoing??
Using the remastered blurays is a nice idea to improve a bit of detail!

Every official Bluray/4k release had various flaws. I understand corporations have protocols, but I over all also praise skilled fans for bringing full glory back to these movies without constraints/boundaries (costs and deadlines to handle). Thank you!

What an extraordinary project. It’s genuinely humbling to see the colossal amount of work Dwalin has undertaken —essentially doing what Warner/New Line should have delivered in the first place. How inspiring!
