The first instalment, The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring will release on 5th February 2021. The Two Towers and The Return of the King will release on 12th February.
The film series is remastered by original director Peter Jackson himself. Sharing the experience of working again on the film, he said, “It was interesting going back and revisiting these films because I realized how inconsistent they were. And that’s really due to the way in which the Lord of the Rings trilogy was shot first, about 20 years ago. The Lord of the Rings was shot on 35mm. The colour timing was done on an old-fashioned mechanical way for the first Lord of the Rings movie. Then we switched to digital colour timing for the 35mm negative for the next two,” as per a featurette of the film.
