A quick update on the status of Warner’s forthcoming The Middle Earth 4K Ultra HD Collection
As you can imagine, things are a little busy here at The Bits this week, and for good reason. As I mentioned yesterday, I’m continuing to dig pretty deep with studio and industry sources on a number of significant home video rumors that have been circulating over the past few days.
