Are you sure about the effects being different?

IT’S OFFICIAL: The Lord of the Rings Trilogy & The Hobbit Trilogy arrive on 4K Ultra HD on 12/1!

All right Tolkien fans, this is it! Warner Bros. Home Entertainment has just provided us with the official confirmation: Peter Jackson’s The Lord of the Rings Trilogy and The Hobbit Trilogy will officially arrive on 4K Ultra HD on 12/1. The Hobbit Trilogy will include The Hobbit: An Unexpected...

Marplot, that link is about the Dec 2020 release. Those are 4k original versions plus extended editions. Check this out:

UHD 4K LOTR and Hobbit Announced! A Special Message from Sean Astin

LOTR and The Hobbit are getting the 4K UHD Treatment and we’ve got a special announcement from Sean Astin telling you all about it!

www.theonering.net

From that link:

Warner Bros. is also announcing that in the summer of 2021 it will be releasing a 4K ULTIMATE COLLECTORS’ EDITION with theatrical and extended versions of ALL SIX of the remastered films and new bonus content. Additionally, to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the first The Lord of the Rings film, a newly remastered Blu-ray trilogy of The Lord of the Rings films will be available in the Fall of 2021, also including the theatrical and extended versions.
If you are like me, and you may not fully grasp the significance of this news – don’t worry, hopefully I can shed some light on the topic. Bottom line – Peter Jackson and the team remastered the entirety of both trilogies (and extended editions), including the special effects, to make these masterpieces of cinema look as amazing and breathtaking on your modern devices as the day we saw them in the theater. And most likely a lot better!.

I am only seeing bonus content and the remastered bluray lotr as the difference.

Great are movies now becoming part of the new remaster game where we are supposed to buy them over and over again like remastered CDs?

Im saving my money for the definitive final new versions approved by Robert Fripp in 8K.

Remastered special effects means updating the effects themselves. I assume re-rendering them in better resolution, etc. Fixing problem shots, updating the wrong version of Gollum they had to use for Fellowship of the Ring. That's what I believe remastering special effects means.

 

[Marplot]

Yes, I understand remaster. These two releases are remastered. The deluxe edition you are waiting for is all 6 movies, the remastered blueray lotr and a bunch of extras NOT included with the upcomming pair of releases. If you are jazzed about all the extras thats cool. I am quite looking forward to the remastered 4k LOTR that I just spent $68 on.

I have no clue what the current best price for Doobies Quaddio is. But, today only, Popmarket has it for $64 and free shipping. I assume they will add tax. And, if you enter your email, you'll get another 10% off.

Aw--you're gonna make me go back through all those pages again?

Nothing I can't live without that I don't already have. But on the first page of the SACDs alone: that Cleveland Symphony box got really good reviews. I have the Messiaen Catalogue d'oiseux and really like it (even though it's just solo piano). All the Jordi Savall sets are amazing packages--not just the music, but bound illustrated books. So I donno. I'll let the real classical fans chime in.

IMO, the BIS Sibelius symphonies 1~7 are captivating and for 3 MCH SACDS represents a good bargain.

Sibelius: Symphonies Nos. 1-7

Sibelius: Symphonies Nos. 1-7. BIS: BIS2076. Buy 3 SACDs or download online. Lahti Symphony Orchestra, Okko Kamu

December 2015

Kamu offers an [easy] sense of movement… intense quiet dynamics and clarity in perfect equilibrium with atmosphere. There's plenty of excitement too: the scherzo of the Second is truly vivacissimo…Three, Seven and above all Six are just perfect, with all the naturalness I want in these elusive masterpieces.

Huh. Presto describes it as multi-channel, but they may have it wrong. All the other reviews I can find are silent on the issue.
