Middle Earth | Behind The Scenes With Peter Jackson | Warner Bros. Entertainment 

He did my man! Im one of them too! These movies are inpiring a intire generation of filmmakers like us!!

Indeed!

Me too!!!! ^_^

couldn't have said that better. :)

It looks it as well. He looks knackered.

@@scatmancrothers I think the hobbit might have took a few years off his life. That or just rewatching all those films back to back.

Shame what studio "forced" him to do with the Hobbit trylogy...

He became George Lucas. Well, if George Lucas was a hobbit without a hair comb, that is.

Again. He already was a hobbit but then lost weight, and now he’s a big fat hobbit again

@@j.a.weishaupt1748 I was going to say the same! He already was a Hobbit! LOL

Hobbits have no beard or moustache

@@thelordofthememes8702 Fine, he’s a dwarf then.

@@j.a.weishaupt1748 yeah. Possibly.

That's why they should keep remasterizing the movies to prevent a fool to remake them.

Amazon are turning doing a series based on the second age, so if that goes well I'd imagine they'll be a LOTR series

@@tomfurstyfield Nah, they already said "we're not crazy, we're not gonna try to do a newer version of some of the best films of all time". Also the Tolkien estate is RUTHLESS, they wouldn't allow that in a million years

My lunch rides uneasy in my gut when I think of Scientific Social Fairness LOTR in 2035. Or was that 2025? Bucket! Now!

Fool of a took!

There’s always two an Author and a Director

I think, Tolkien could say in such case that Jackson is an idiot who ruined all his ideas 😂😂😂😂😂. Same way as Christopher criticized LoTR adaptations 🙄

@@vagabondvlad I don't think he would hate the movies. He would appreciate the adaption of his books that spread his story all all around the world. There would have been some things he definitely wouldn't like but he would not hate them.

@@vagabondvlad yeah people tend to forget that Christopher Tolkien pretty much hated what was done in LOTR and I don't think JRR Tolkien would have taken kindly to them. I don't think Tolkien thought too much of cinema.

I think Jackson’s grandfather knew Tolkien cause they were in the battle of the Somme in WWI

there's trailer's for each film in 4k if you wanna check them out

@@TheChromaKid lol yeah they released them 24h after my comment. They're afraid of me, that's the only possible explanation.

@@SublimeTrickaz That's definitely it lol!

Me too! And it has a proper ending

I finished the LOTR trilogy tonight, absolute perfection. Both picture and sound are utterly incredible, 10/10!

I’m so glad to have you as a fan of mine, i would love us to talk more on hangout you can drop your email address to know more about your thoughts😍 and advise for me thank you ❤️.. And .. 👏👏🙏🎉🙌🙌🙌

@@rovhalt6650 Like.... butter scraped over too much bread.

Oh my goodness, I remember waiting for a Lord of the Rings movie to come out every year in the early 2000's. I can't believe it's been 20 years.

I was 10 years old when FOTR came out :c

🤣

I wonder what we could dangle in front him to make him do the "RAGH!" thing.

@@skjaldulfr Another trilogy contract. except he's gonna "ragh" away from it 😅

@@rovhalt6650 ha!

🤣🤣🤣🤣

This is one of the sweetest things i have red online :-) I`m happy for you, she was obviously a keeper.

Same here, Alexander. Except my first date with my wonderful husband was ROTK. And it was my 11th time seeing it in theaters. 😀

What an amazing film to bond with someone over

My first conversation with my wife of 45 years was about "The Hobbit" book, in 1972....I said I had the whole collection, would she like to borrow it! It took years to get it back!

But did she like the movie? Haha

I subbed also how did u see them in 4k

How did you get them in 4k please help

I bought my 4K set at Walmart, but they're available on Amazon too. It looks amazing! Especially Fellowship, bc that one was always a little rough on previous transfers. The 4K makes it nice and crisp, but the real hero of this transfer is the colors. So many subtleties to the shading... previous shots that were just a wall of green now have a whole mix of different shades. And of course the green tint has been fixed. When you start watching, immediately you're like "WOW".

@@DarthHater100 sounds amazing

Are they in Dolby Vision?

The hobbit, not at all

Him .. try watching in 480p

truth

144p gang wya!!

I mean DVD , BLU-RAY and 4K BLU-RAY 😛

Perfection.

HE LOST HIS TALENT AND PASSION

@@alexsir2094 Silence.

@@OdileOdile19 Yes, you heard the man, Alex.

I'm pretty certain that's what Mr. Tolkien said after he finished his books. 🙂

@@kxmode The Two Stars 🌟 🌟. Professor Tolkien & Sir Peter Jackson. I cannot thank them enough - the best universe/franchise forever and unbeatable.

More than that

Madness!!! Almost the same amount of time has passed since the hobbit that had past since Lord of the rings when the hobbit came out!!!

the only time i saw full cinemas in my country lol.it was insane ,cinema was full and still people waited outside to get in

@@bigben9056 It was the same in my country too... me and a friend managed after a lot of trouble to find seats only on the first row during the first screenings of Fellowship back in 2001 and i will never forget mine and the audiences reaction during the Balrog chase in Moria. I mean imagine seeing this in a gigantic screen in front of your face and with the basses of the cinema beating all around!!! Only one other experience i can compare to this and that was Blade Runner 2049, especially the opening

I refuse to believe this!! I call fake news 😫😫😫

@@CODINE80 I agree about the Balrog. It was intense and jaw-dropping for me. Up to that point I had been mainly a girly, rom-com/Jane Austen type of film fan so I was amazed at how much it was the monsters that really drew me into the world. (I had read the books before watching the film and had loved them so there was that appeal too)

Trust your body its worth it!!!

I don't see nothing wrong! With some second breakfast time!

I prefer to wait until the big Middle Earth box set comes out next year. That way I would be getting the films, and a ton of special features both new and old. Patience is a virtue!

Tell to tour wallets its christmass

Indeed! Ha ha

There's a lot of shots in fellowship that could have benefited from an upgrade

@@Ilkvomit I’m glad they didn’t. It still has that nostalgic, early 2000s look and that’s great.

@@rokaanalzeer yeah but some CG shots just stick out like a sore thumb. Especially in the mines of Moria when the goblins spring up from the ground

@@Ilkvomit The worst VFX shot in Fellowship is Aragorn and Frodo falling with the staircase in Moria.

@@BrianWenger oh yeah that's rough as well. There's another shot when the fellowship as a whole are treking by some CG ruins in a wideshot and the ruins have the visual appeal of PlayStation 1.

I agree i remember watching the Fellowship of the Ring with my brother and crying when Frodo was stabbed! Such an emotional journey for me even years later!!! RIP Tolkien.

Greatest Story Ever Told

I’m a huuuge Star Wars fan but I will always tell people LotR is just, without a doubt, the best. Although imo, i prefer the Star Wars prequels to the hobbit films. Especially Revenge of the Sith. Love the Hobbit book tho.

Thats how i felt for 4 years until i watched game of thrones now lotr is just a movie

@@thectheb loool game of thrones is nothing compared to LOTR.

LOOLL watching these movies on a 16k screen will probably be like watching a 360p video on your phone.

@@rizzo-films How so (I'm not technically savvy)

Lol ahaha

@@rizzo-films Not how it works but sure, buddy.

@@StrangePerson69 because a 16k screen would logically have to be massive to justify that high of a resolution. Blow up 4k on a gigantic screen in a living room setting, which will probably be entire walls outfitted as screens (vs a large movie theater screen that you're sitting several yards away from) and you'll start to see flaws in the image, just as you would viewing 360p footage on a larger, modern, high resolution screen. That's literally how it works.

I did think for a second what that meant for the relationship he's had to the films over the past 20 years, especially after his experience making the Hobbit trilogy which he said was very difficult and they weren't received as well as the first trilogy. Like, if there was a lot left unresolved or even unsatisfied. I'm happy he can admit to being fully satisfied now, though.

Quote: "Hearing Peter say he feels he's reached the end of his journey is a hugely saddening for some reason."

@Stella Hohenheim seppuku*

"End? No, the journey doesn't end here..."

@@rizzo-films Well every director may have some regrets on certain films they make but overall he seems happy with all six . I haven't heard him state otherwise.

Wow, awesome!

Could you share where you hiked?

there is a LOTR meme for every occasion and the one for how the films have aged would be Gandalf looking at Bilbo and saying, "You haven't aged a day..." in confusion. The Hobbit movies bc of the CGI already look bad and dated (they did immediately) but the LOTR trilogy looks brand new and will forever. Nothing in them at all to ever age them.

The originals never looked outdated, but that shot of Mt. Doom in this interview was _so crisp_

idk man, have you seen the cave troll or when Legolas kills the oliphont.

You could watch LOTR on VHS and it's still gona be the best thing ever.

@@ThatGuy-eu2vt The handful of dodgy fx shots in LOTR don't look outdated, they were bad at the time. And bad CGI still exists. It will always exist. LOTR is as I said - a movie that will not age. Hasn't aged yet and isn't going to.

White shores, and beyond them a far green country with a swift sunrise. I was re-watching parts of the movie and reading the books recently, and I hadn't realized that this line from Gandalf is from the last page of the Return of the King, describing what Frodo sees as he sails to the west from the Grey Havens.

And then you see it. See what? The Lord of the Rings Trilogy... in 4K HDR

Nice guys!

4K... and beyond....

Pippin - “what, Gandalf? See what? Gandalf - “Third Breakfast”

I honestly fear that a Hollywood Silmarillion adaption wouldn't quite be able to catch Tolkien's vision (I was dissapointed by the way the fight with Sauron in The Hobbit went), but if they did it right... That'd be incredible

You and me both

I disagree, the Hobbit movies were just awful

​@@ChrisisisB I completely agree Hobbit movies were awful, but this isn't on Peter Jackson. If anything, he saved a failed project. Guillermo Del Toro was the original director of the Hobbit movies, but he left after the constant delays of the filming (because MGM back then was with a debt of almost US$ 4 billion dollars). Peter then took the job, but he claimed himself there was lack of time, there wasn't any space for pre-production and there was a rush to start filming ASAP (the rush and stress of the movies can be seen in the Behind The Scenes clips). In the end, Peter Jackson's name is attached to these movies, but I think its unfair to say the movies are bad because of him.

@@tom-66 I guess for me, it's more wishful thinking. It's true that The Silmarillion wasn't finalised, but I would love to see the Valar and Morgoth on the big screen. Seeing The War of Wrath would truly be a spectacle.

They started production about 10 years ago. They were released in 2012,13 and 2014.

You haven't aged a day...

...and a TV.

Isnt the actual colour just what they think it was.

@@samw2670 they wanted to make it as accurate as possible, so I don't think they intended to be 100% correct with the colours

@@mmwedeking they used actual surviving clothing, objects etc. So it wasn’t just done frivolously.

Fan of LOTR and hobbit series plz😭😭

@@alzoha1267 - they're releasing a new edition of the movie in 4K resolution "ultra-HD" with HDR. Many old films that get re-released into 4k are digitally up-scaled from the original release, which doesn't actually add all that much detail. For Lord of the Rings, they've taken the original film it was shot on and re-scanned the entire movie with a new 4k film scanner so they could re-create the film with truly improved detail in the picture. But when they saw the higher-detail film next to the original computer graphics, the CGI looked very dated, because computers simply weren't as powerful back then. Because they don't want that to take away from the film (think high-fidelity human characters fighting the Balrog, but it looks like it's from an old video game), they've re-done some of the special effects to bring it to a modern standard and keep a cohesive look throughout the films. They're also updating the sound with modern equipment so it will work better with modern sound systems. They've also given this treatment to the deleted scenes in the extended edition as well. I'm very excited to watch the new version and see all the small details that were easy to miss before!

@@KingBobXVI many many thanks bro But how much price of whole series of LORT Why they not released new series like LORT and Hobbit

In chronological order, hopefully.

I think he needs to go back to NZ after living there can you imagine cities in america being your residence for over a decade. I would love to live in NZ. It's like piece of the wilderness and the shire jammed together in one epic location NZ is my dream home 🏡

Uhmm.... The hobbit trilogy didn't do anything to dissuade you?

@@spartymatt9627 that was thrown on Peters lap last minute when Del Toro pulled out late in development. He did the best he could given the circumstances.

Well except it was his decision to give the Blu-Ray Fellowship that weird green colour wash...

Got mine yesterday and watched Fellowship. Looks amazing! The green color wash is gone

@@xGaLoSx this, I wish more people understood this.

Google "art deco lord of the rings poster". It looks like it's that kind of style to me.

I know, it looks phenomenal

If only they had used this one for the box cover...

Forever.

It is available on 4K, but Jackson didn't do a proper remaster the same way as he did with LotR and The Hobbit, unfortunately. Universal would have to pay for it, and I don't think they're ready for this.

@@stopmotionfrance4938 Warner Bros. Did these movies...

@@soybasedjeremy3653 Universal did King Kong which is what they’re referring to. Universal is notoriously cheap with their catalog home media, they don’t like to spend money to remaster their classics.

Actually Peter did mention upon after watching his Kong movie on tv one day he realise he need to make a director's cut version to reduce the length of the movie and other issues.

@@Nixrin1 The theatrical version of that film is just about perfect. The extended cut (while truer to the original film in many ways) was just too long. And this is coming from someone who loves Jackson's King Kong

Yes. A miracle. Everyone involved doing career best work individually at the same exact time, plus coming together as a team in a perfect way. A work of incredible love, effort and studio bravery.

This is correct. Which is why I think that no matter how the Hobbit was adapted it would never be on the level of LOTR. LOTR came at the right time under the right circumstances. Even if the final product is flawed, I love the Hobbit trilogy.

@@dws6x292 I don't hate The Hobbit movies - except when people try to group them w LOTR. If you take them on their own there is a lot to lik, even if they aren't great. It's when people try to act like they're part of a giant story w LOTR that you are forced to say, "Eh..."

@@georgial6398 Why should it be wrong to group them together? They really do make one big story, with a humble beginning and a powerful ending. An Unexpected Journey: "I'm going on an adventure!" Return of the King: "I think I'm quite ready for another adventure." Are The Hobbit movies as epic or grand in scale as The Lord of the Rings, or as well-written? No. Do they have to be? No. It's totally fine if The Hobbit doesn't have all the same tone, scope, or deep messages that LOTR had. It actually makes it an easier place to start for newcomers. I actually showed The Hobbit to my grandma before I showed her LOTR and she ended up loving all six movies, and she's normally not into that kind of stuff. She even told me that she might not have enjoyed them the same way if she started with LOTR first, with all the scary and intense stuff that happens in them.

@@Bauglir100 It's wrong bc they don't fit together. They vary in quality, tone and style to the same degree the Star Wars OT and prequels vary in quality, tone and style - and those two trilogies also don't fit together. If people love The Hobbit, fine, more power to them. If people love the prequels, fine, more power to them. But honesty is honesty.

i felt EXACTLY the same!

Just in time for the simalirian trilogy! /s

There won't be any theaters by the 20th anniversary.

I’m afraid cinemas are dead for the most part. Streaming wounded them and COVID delivered the final blow.

@@philipmalaby8172 sad to see an end of an era of modern cinema

@@andrewattenboroughtwothumb4697 ? That's not 'an era of modern cinema', it's cinema. Movie theaters have been where movies are watched, by crowds, forever. They've been a central part of Western popular culture since they were invented. They were around well before TV. Movies are literally made, designed, to be viewed in theaters, by audiences. Modern cinema ends w the end of theaters.

I would go to cinema to watch these!

I would wager that it’ll probably include everything, with upgraded 1080 special features, and some expanded making-of features on the 4Ks themselves.

@@UtahGetMe2 It has already been stated that the appendices will not be included and only 1 new piece of bonus material (what ever that is?) so don't get rid of the DVD or Blu-ray extras you already have.

@@n2darkness Really? That kinda kills the 2021 ultimate box set for me. The Appendices are maybe the most comprehensive set of making ofs ever put on film. If you only include one piece of bonus content, it should be this. Especially since the LotR ones are shot in SD and shouldn't take up too much space on newer disc media.

@@fgdj2000 This is what is stated on the Digitalbits.com an industry movie reviewer who has actual information from the studios. Warner has also announced plans to release both 4K sets together in one more deluxe package next summer. That set is expected to include the same 4K movie discs coming on 12/1, with the same Hobbit Blu-rays already available (the movies only, not the extras), and newly-produced Lord of the Rings Blu-rays upgraded with better image quality from this new 4K remaster (those remastered Lord of the Rings Blu-rays will also be available separately next year, in honor of the 20th anniversary of The Fellowship of the Ring). That package too will include Digital Copies, but it will NOT include The Appendices or any of the other previous extras (with the likely exception of the audio commentaries on the regular Blu-rays). We’re told that it will, however, include one new piece of bonus content that’s still yet to be determined

@@n2darkness What do you mean with "newly-produced Lord of the Rings Blu-rays upgraded with better image quality from this new 4K remaster"? The 4K remaster that is being released now is not defenitive?

they'll probably get distracted by their VR tiktok

Is there any other way? Lol

The sets include both editions of each film I believe

@@JohnSmith-jh6ey You are correct, he updated both the theatrical and extended editions and they are both included (For LOTR anyways).
