Jackson was honest with the LOTR sets, you knew there was 4 disc special
sets on their way
mind you they were massive hits, KK was a bit of a dodo
and is NO LOTR, so maybe they wont bother, or are waiting to see how the
standard DVD sells before they go for a extended version.
remember Jackson spent a lot of money on LOTR 4 discs adding in all these
missing scenes which were finished scenes, as he filmed he knew what he was
planning as Chris Lee said "I know my scenes will be in the extended version
