Here are some links to articles about LOTR use of digital intermediate technology:
Arrilaser
"Pete Williams from Weta FX presented 16 minutes from "The Lord of the Rings - The Fellowship of the Ring”. ARRI is especially proud of "The Lord of the Rings - The Fellowship of the Rings”, since not only was about 2/3rds of the movie recorded out on an ARRILASER, but the movie was also serviced by an ARRI rental house which provided ARRIFLEX cameras, including the first of the brand new 435 Advanced cameras. By the way, the next installments of "The Lord of the Rings”, as well as the new Star Wars movies will be recorded out completely with ARRILASERs."
Millimeter Article
"The art and science of digital timing for film is new, and there are as many approaches to the work method as there are shows using the process. Peter Doyle, the president of The Posthouse — the Wellington, New Zealand facility where The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers is being mastered — explains how Towers is being timed in several passes. “We have one colorist who is really good at traditional grading for fairly straightforward dialog scenes,” says Doyle, who is also the chief colorist on the film. “Then another who does quite technical grades, replacing skies and working with shadow detail. The overall point is that we wanted to avoid having the ‘look’ of a colorist. This is really [director] Peter Jackson and [cinematographer] Andrew Lesnie's film and all the work we do here was in service of that."

The December 2002 issue of American Cinematographer has an excellent article on the production, which was shot on Kodak Color Negative films 5245, 5293, 5279 and SO-214 by cinematographer Andrew Lesnie ACS:
