Does this version feature the same color correction you talked about doing just for the film? ("Grading Project") I would love to see screencaps if anyone has them.

I just started reading the novel for the first time, and this is my first dip into the world of Lord of the Rings.

I don't want to see the movie versions at all until I'm completely finished, so I can be free to imagine on my own at least once first.

However when I do get down to watching them, this edit sounds great. Does anyone have them, who would want to work out a trade? PM me if so.

As many others have said before me, I think the way the book was worked for the book. Tolien originally wanted to have six books, but the publisher wanted to save time and combine the books together. I personally think six movies that were normal length would have been better than three long movies, but then again, I'd say the movies are fine the way they are. Books can't be adapted exactly, but yours is probably good nonethless

I'm very glad you have restored Aragorn's authority as well as the color to Lothlorien. Did you add color correction to the entire image, or just to parts of the image? It looks like you added some yellow and red. I was disappointed by the blue tones seen in the film -- didn't match the books at all IMO.

I also hated Aragorn the anti-hero as he was in the movies. First of all it doesn't fit the time in which the books were written much more of a late 20th century idea. Also Tolken wrote Aragorn's character very much is related to the heroic ideal of a man who is chosen for a mission and very much prepared to fulfilling his destiny. The movie's Aragorn is filled with self doubt and much less powerful because of it. Though I loved the movies overall this was a typical "I know better then the author move" by Hollywood or New Zealand in this case. I agree as well about the lack of green in the movie. The books very clearly contrast the "green" of nature with the dark smoke of the machines. The movie lacked some of that.

Anyway I would love to see your edits.

Guys! Guys! I have to tell you a few things!

Having just realized that you people are still interested in this set of movies, I have to confess.... I lost my FOTR EE Book-Cut. BUT DON'T PANIC! Grab a towel and listen:

I can re-cut this movie again! I can re-grade it again! These things take me a day (nonstop) to work on, and I have a few free days ahead! Also, I was cutting the first FOTR book-cut on a craphappy computer.... now I have a better and faster one which will aggravate me MUCH less! I also have obtained an HDTV rip of "Fellowship" (unfortunately this one is only the theatrical cut). I am able to edit both the HD version or the SD Extended version. If you want me to edit this again, and upload it... I need to know what version you prefer. Sure, there is no book cut without the Extended Scenes.... but, just in case.

All right guys! Enlighten me!

i always wanted to see these edits please go ahead with your new version of the book cut of fellowship of the ring.

by the way the detail in the HD rips out there is amazing way better than the dvd. hopefully someday on blu ray and hd-dvd, one can hope.

that is if peter jackson gets his royalties from new line on their profit sharing agreement until that happens no new releases are forthcoming.

OH HELLS YEAH

i think just revisiting this trilogy is the best idea!

like a complete set (all 6 parts) of the "book cut" (& regraded) based on the extended dvd's.

i don't think it gets any better than that.

i have your part 3 edit and it was VERY good but could definitely improve with some cleaner edits, etc.

Anyway, I can't wait seeing this. I never saw any of your book-cuts but I'm sure that this will be excellent.

I lost the FOTR one, and the new TTT one (I have the crappy old one). I still have ROTK. But I'd like to re-do them all.

Yes, it will be Bittorrent. Most likely Demonoid stuff.

Thanks, man! I'm starting on it as I type this!

I need one thing. If anyone has the first Battle for Middle-Earth game, I'd severely appreciate it if you could send me the audio file for the opening video of the game-version prologue where Gandalf narrates what Galadriel does in the films. That would be great!

Thanks for your help, ThrowgnCpr! Much appreciated! I know this sounds like fluff, but I'm serious!

Why don't you release it on a torrent site with public registrations, like Mininova or TPB? I don't have a Demonoid account.
