Kinda figured this would get a worldwide release...

That interior art is quite amusing. Maximus looks in a spot of bother compared to how it should be.

 

[monterock]

Whats wrong with the previous 4k steelbook?

 

[RedFridge007]

Any ideas of finish yet?
Might be a little pricey for me if it's just a plain matte or similar...

 

[Stygian]

I don't know about the UK but since this and Braveheart are from Paramount I'm guessing these will be glossy in North America.

Whats wrong with the previous 4k steelbook?

I much prefer the previous one. The front art of this looks really cramped. Wonder if there's any difference in content.

Thanks! That's a no buy then.

 

[BluSteel2012]

The front cover is awful.

Looks like he's bending down trying to make himself 'steelbook cover size'!!

Same 3 Discs as previous releases

Only 2 discs for this one.

 

[paulboland]

Only 2 discs for this one.

Its 3 Discs dont go by Zavvi website listing 2 discs
The previous 4K steelbook was listed on Zavvi as 2 discs but was actually 3 discs
Never go number of discs listed on likes of Zavvi/Amazon etc as very often its wrong

Look at the product description its mentions the bonus blu-ray disc and lists some of the extras that are only on that disc

Bonus Blu-ray Disc has the extra
Strenght and Honor: Creating the World of Gladiator" Documentary

Disc 1 is 4K (Film)
Disc 2 is Blu-ray (Film)
Disc 3 is the extras Bonus Blu-ray Disc

 

[paulboland]

Sold Out
This is a shared print run in Europe so Zavvi only got allocated small amount

Is Russell doing a number 2 on the cover? His shield is in the way, but the grimace on his face gives it away.

Oh damn! Really glad I got this now.

Have you not purchased this before on Blu-ray as it's the same bonus extras blu-ray disc in previous UK and USA releases

Extras on disc are good and needs it's own disc to fit all the extras content

Some releases in other countries did not have the bonus disc but most did have it

No. I wanted to get it on steelbook before but it was out of stock and resellers were a little pricey.
