Aqui una entrevista a Jackson donde habla q de darse una version extendida seria a largo plazo y seria en HD:
Question: When you were making the film, was DVD as much on your mind as getting a theatrical cut ready?
Jackson: No. No. I mean essentially the DVD that's being released now is the theatrical cut, so, no, you're always just making the film for the big screen.
Question: Can you talk about, some of the major add-ons in this DVD?
Jackson: Well the main thing that, that we've put into the DVD - which is something that the fans have wanted and asked for, is the postproduction diaries, which was never intended for the DVD at all. We did those obviously as a sort of online, event which picked up a momentum of its own. But there was this ongoing request to have them all on a DVD in the same place, and obviously at a much better quality. So we released half of them - because there were so many that they would have had to create an extra disc for them just to put them on this release. So we released the production diaries, concurrently with the theatrical film and then this release has the postproduction diaries so it completes the whole set. And then we did a couple of documentaries, because I guess so much of the making of the film has been covered by the production and postproduction diaries that rather than just sort of show an expansion of that - even though there's a lot of stuff that we have held back - we decided to create a couple of documentaries that are just a little different; the background to New York in the 1930s and then this documentary about Skull Island. So we thought it would just be kind of fun to do a couple of documentaries that were just a little different from the usual EPK type, stuff that you often see on DVDs.
Question: And no major deleted scenes or anything like that?
Jackson: No, that's all been saved for, ... it depends on Universal making a decision, but they seem to be pretty, keen on the idea of doing a 3 or 4 disc release, towards the end of the year which would include deleted scenes and bloopers and a whole new raft of docos that would go a lot deeper into the technical stuff of the making of the film that we couldn't show in the production diaries.
Question: I understand that you're also thinking of doing a box set for Lord of the Rings on DVD.
Jackson: Well that's been a plan for a long time. There hasn't been anything announced about it yet. I think they're waiting to do something with the high-definition release, because I always assessed that the natural time for that box set would be when, when you release the films in HD, and I don't know what their plans are with that. So we're not working on anything at the moment but I know that there is an idea is in the background, yeah.
