I tend to believe that maybe they didn't have as much time as they should have to do these films. As far as I'm concerned, they made the perfect decision to film the whole thing at one go, but they...

I didn't mean add more footage - just clean up the effects, make them look better. Like the really obvious blue screen stuff, for example.

Sting LOTR: Special Edition?

Does anyone know if PJ plans on doing some sort of Special Edition in the future for the trilogy? It definitely wouldn't hurt TTT to have some of those effects cleaned up in the future.
