Hairspray is not canceled for HD DVD--it's delayed. Why? Because it's still showing in theaters in international markets and they want people to go to the theater and watch it and THEN buy the disc. Without region encoding, they could import it from the US. That's why it's being delayed. Why would they delay Lord of the Rings? Where is the benefit?

Very true, but this may foreshadow what may happen with Lord of the Rings.
