Since the theatrical version already goes through the book at a considerably slower page rate than even the extended editions of the LOTR movies did to their corresponding book, I find the prospect of an extended edition of The Hobbit rather astonishing. But it's Jackson's movie; he can do what he wants.David Bratmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08090662884600828582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2239062544101975016.post-64662429035937349512013-03-22T14:28:48.640-07:002013-03-22T14:28:48.640-07:00Hi Allan.

The version I picked up has both a blue-ray disk and a standard dvd, with the Extras (some video blogs and trailers) being on a third disk.<br /> Folks on the internet are certain there will be an extended edition, but I have not seen confirmation of that. Presumably it will come out around November/ December, as was their practice with the three LotR films. <br />--JDRJohn D.

To ...Good to hear about the extras, thanks John! <br /><br />To be clear: the film version included in the DVD is the theatrical release vs. a director's cut/extended addition/with bonus scenes added to the theatrical release, correct? If so, have you heard anything about the timing of such a release?---I don't recall if they released the extended LOTR versions only after all three films were released, for example, or if they released the extended versions in between each film's DVD release?<br /><br />Allan.grodoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11800184312511280050noreply@blogger.com
