I'm gonna wait for this one. Good thing I still haven't got the previous releases. Sana this it the last release, and sana it includes dts and better transfer or thx certified even

The two disc set is worth already.....what could be the added features of this one? Sir Ridley Scott's director's cut?

I hope they include a collectible booklet. The previous release only contain insert.

As if the 1st release (SIgnature Series) wasn't good enough, here comes, I hope, a better edition. Hope they release this in a nice package, ala Troy LE. Plus the booklet that keating is asking for.

Yeah the booklet will be a good catch in this edition. Without those butts hanging around the movie itself much better than Troy.

i think this re-release is worth buying.. a quote from dvdtalk upcoming re-release thread..

Gladiator [Scott] (DC)
”DreamWorks is tentatively planning a multi-disc Gladiator: Director's Cut DVD for 2005, which will include Ridley Scott's longer version of the film (many of the deleted scenes on the previous DVD release will be edited back into the film, and there will be new bonus material as well).”

i am getting this for sure..

Already bought this title four times.. but the movie's just that good! Chances are I'll be getting this one as well.. And a collectible booklet and cool packaging would certainly erase all doubt!

Sshh.. 3x lang pala kasi the first one doesn't count, hehehe.. Sealed pa nga yung galing sa yo e!

I wonder if it will be on HD-DVD or Blu-ray (whichever Dreamworks supports)?

here we go again, uso na talaga ang double dipping, hehehe

.....i suspect this release will have 3 to 4 discs on it kaya gumamit ng words "multi-disc" as quoted above instead of the usual "2-disc" or "double disc" to describe this impending release.....

seph1018 · « **Reply #12 on:** Feb 10, 2005 at 08:47 AM »

Double dip kung double dip!!!

RadicalDude · « **Reply #15 on:** Feb 10, 2005 at 03:34 PM »

It's a director's cut... and it is Ridley Scott's... what more can I say??? DOUBLE DIP!!!

Question? Is the first time Dreamworks will do a double dip?

hemisphere · « **Reply #16 on:** Feb 10, 2005 at 04:15 PM »

nope.. they did it with Saving Private Ryan Commemorative Edition.

krets pulpol · « **Reply #17 on:** Feb 10, 2005 at 04:32 PM »

so i guess this version won't have a dts soundtrack, hope i'm wrong.

hemisphere · « **Reply #18 on:** Feb 10, 2005 at 04:46 PM »

hopefully.. you're wrong, krets..

click this link dude, of course maximus is dead. they're continuing the story line with the remaining characters. at least that's what the reports say.

The current R1 release has DTS. I think it's the local R3 release that has no DTS.

hey, i was just kidding bro. don't take any offense

if they're going to continue the storyline with the remaining characters, it's highly probably that the new gladiator would be maximus' son

no prob, i have a discussion of this sequel in another thread click here

actually reports say that the sequel is more focused on the politics of the roman empire after the death of Maximus.

read this report:

"First, Russell Crowe will not be back. Second, the action will pick up where the first film left off, focusing on the next generation of characters. Third, the film will not have any Coliseum-style fighting, instead focusing on politics and other intrigue. And yes, the script is finished.

- Empire Online

[/i]

hmmm, 'politics and other intrigue' sounds like our regular senate hearings

i hope its not going to be boring though.

no Crowe, no Phoenix, no Coliseum-style fighting, will focus on politics and intrigue....... i think i just lost interest on this sequel

No fight scenes? But then, Scott always surprise us with his visual skills and cinematic eye.
