I'd very much like to see this, these cuts look very reasonable. I wonder though if there's a 2 or 2.5 hour movie in here somewhere. If someone did that without it feeling rushed, it would probably be my go-to version. Severe cuts to most movies would be required, but someone's gotta respect the bladders of the audience!

I'm aiming to cut them all down to between 3 & 3.5 hours in length. One release will be a 1080p mkv, another of 2 separate Blu Ray disc images. The split will exist to keep the bitrate high, as well as serving as a sort of homage to the LOTR releases.

This sounds like an amazing project!

I'm a little confused by the two versions. Will there be a dedicated transition point for the two disc version? In other words are the three films becoming two, or are they becoming one (with the two disc version purely for quality)?

I've yet to work out where the split will occur as I don't have a concrete halfway point yet. The BluRay version will still be the same single movie. The split will exist partially for quality, and partially as fanservice to the Lord of the Rings releases (where a title came up saying 'The journey continues on disc 2')
