It's an Easter Egg. Though I thought it was DVD 2 and not 1. There's also an EEgg on the FotR Extended Edition in the same place.

If you are referring to the one with Jack Black, it's already on the Extended version of Fellowship as an easter egg. How to access it for region 1 and region 2. It's pretty damned funny, in a Jack Black sort of way.

The long TTT trailer is also hidden on the Extended version.

Is this truly suprising? With the proliferation of "secret" functionality in everything from DVD's to Palm applications, it seems that a lot of developers take great delight in doing something "on the sly" that will get them noticed.

While the vast majority of these "easter eggs" are completely harmless, it's only logical to assume that they present an opportunity for malicous activities. I mean, who among us doesn't have SOME "H4X0R" history? Doesn't it follow that some of that will come out when the opportunity to put in a "gift" presents itself?

Also, this seems to me to be one of the down sides of the Open Source fight. Most of the accomplished hackers that I know are strong advocates of Open Source. It leads me to believe that most of the proponents of Open Source are or were at some time at least a script kiddie with delusions of grandeur.

Nobody I know has the time to actually check every line of code in a 200 Meg build for one or two lines of backdoor code, especially when the application is DESIGNED to make and break connections.

Here's another review, pretty positive, some very minor plot-line spoilers: http://www.dvdeastereggs.com/showReview.php?rid=86

First series already released if you are in Europe (or have a multi region DVD player). See this link for details As for a region 1 release, I dont know! OffTopic a little I know but: If anyone has this have a look at the easter eggs : on the main menu of all three discs you can select something in the background (for example on disc 1 it is a flying car is I remember right) that lets you view some spoof tv and film posters. V.Funny!

So I guess the virus on the disc woulnd't count as an Easter Egg ;)

The Easter Eggs for the 2 Discs have already been exposed, I just hope they are, shall we say, legit. Check em out at DVD Easter Eggs.

In the meantime you can have some fun with the easter-eggs on the DVD while you wait for the new movie. Go to DVD Easter Eggs :)
