'Cowboy Bebop': Everything You Need to Know About the Live-Action Netflix Adaptation 'The Beatles: Get Back' Trailer: Peter Jackson's Disney+ Series Gives Never Before Seen Look at Fab FourĮlijah Wood Says 'Lord of the Rings' Orc Designed to Resemble Harvey Weinstein: 'F*ck Him' We didn’t have all this stuff to play with in the old days.” Being able to tweak individual colors we just couldn’t do 20 years ago, so it’s fun having all the toys now. The color timing was done in an old-fashioned photo mechanical way for the first ‘Lord of the Rings’ movie, then we switched to digital color timing for the 35mm for the next two. “‘The Lord of the Rings’ was shot on 35mm. “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,” Jackson says in a new video interview (watch the full discussion below). The Oscar-winning filmmaker made remastering his epic franchise a priority after a re-watch of the original “Lord of the Rings” trilogy proved a bit irksome due to visual inconsistencies among the three installments: “The Fellowship of the Ring,” “The Two Towers,” and “The Return of the King.”

Peter Jackson directed three “Lord of the Rings” films and three “Hobbit” films over the course of nearly 15 years, and now he’s back at it again this month with the 4K remasters of all six Middle Earth-set films.
