I'm EXTREMELY happy with my copy of the Signature Selection with dts-ES that I have so . . . Thanks, but No Thanks to the EE Version that's coming out

No thanks....no EE but if it's a LE then that's a different story hehe

I'll wait for the reviews to come out. If the reviews are good, I might buy it. But for me, no need for another version.

saw the details on amazon and it says this release has three discs and a DTS track... is this final? anyway, DTS or not, i'll still get this one, considering it's a ridley scott's cut...

Ridley Scott's Cut!

. have decided to grab a copy for myself. i think this is a very important collectible... well for sir scott's fans i guess.

keating · « **Reply #67 on:** Jun 03, 2005 at 05:19 PM »

Can someone clarify if DTS will be included in this edition? If it is included.....I'll go for double dipping.

from DigitalBits

Afternoon, folks! Well, in light of the information we posted yesterday regarding Russell Crowe having just completed a new audio commentary track for the forthcoming Gladiator: Extended Edition DVD (a track he recorded together with director Ridley Scott, by the way), we now feel comfortable offering you the COMPLETE and accurate spec listing for the 3-disc DVD set (which streets on 8/23 - no SRP, but expect the price to be in the $25-30 range). Here's what to look for:

Disc One will include two versions of the film in anamorphic widescreen video, presented via seamless branching - the original 155-minute theatrical cut and a new 172-minute extended cut - audio in English and French Dolby Digital 5.1 and English Dolby Digital 2.0 Surround, the all-new audio commentary track with director Ridley Scott and star Russell Crowe, a video introduction to the film by Scott and an Are You Not Entertained? subtitle-style trivia track.

Disc Two will include the feature-length Strength and Honor: Creating the World of Gladiator documentary, composed of 7 topic-specific featurettes (Tale of the Scribes: Story Development, The Tools of War: Weapons, Attire of the Realm: Costume Design, The Heat of Battle: Production Journals, The Glory of Rome: Visual Effects, Shadows and Dust: Resurrecting Proximo and Echoes in Eternity: Release and Impact).

Disc Three will include an Image and Design section with 2 featurettes (Production Design Primer: Arthur Max and Storyboard Demonstration: Sylvain Despretz), a production design gallery, storyboard gallery and multi-angle storyboard-to-film comparisons (with optional audio commentary) for 3 sequences from the film, including the Germania Battlefront, the Chain Fight and the reenactment of the Battle of Carthage. You'll also get a gallery of Ridleygrams (a sampling of the director's own personal storyboard drawings), a costume design gallery, an in-depth production photo gallery and a Supplemental Archive featuring VFX Explorations of Germania and Rome, a gallery of trailers and TV spots and finally, a collection of abandoned sequences and deleted scenes (Alternate Title Design, Blood Version, the Rhino Fight and the newly-discovered Chose Your Weapon deleted scene) including film footage, storyboards, VFX tests and audio optional commentary.

The entire 3-disc set was created by longtime Ridley Scott DVD producer Charles de Lauzirika and his team - the same people responsible for such great past DVD releases as Fox's The Alien Quadrilogy and Sony's Black Hawk Down: Deluxe Edition and Spider-Man 2: Special Edition - so you know it'll be damn well worth the wait. Even if it doesn't have a DTS track. Just remember, folks... there's only so much room on a single DVD-9.

So then, it's confirmed. It has no dts tracks. I'm interested in the additional 17 mins of the film.

I already have the Signature Selection. But with the nice packaging and exteded scenes, it would be very hard to resist double dipping .

pchin · « **Reply #79 on:** Jun 23, 2005 at 09:41 PM »

Wow great pic Hemi, very tempting indeed! No double dipping for me... (I hope!!)

Darn....why can't they just call it "LE" instead of "EE". If it's a LE, then I can buy it w/out feeling any guilt

baby · « **Reply #80 on:** Jun 23, 2005 at 09:56 PM »

why they call it AB-another buy,DDE-double dip edition,AP-another purchase.

I'll get this one.Since I still don't have this title.

Is this with DTS track bro? i like the packaging of the R1 release though.

This edition really looks great...double-dipping is inevitable.

Thanks for the pics Sir Hemi!

baby · « **Reply #84 on:** Jul 13, 2005 at 05:07 PM »

I think there is no dts for japan release. The swedish version has dts and with almost the same as japan release. I'll check it out 1st to confirm.

Thanks for posting the back cover BOSS HEMISPHERE. wala talagang dts tracks for this one. The picture looks like it was scanned from the back of the set itself. So this is available now and is waiting to be dispathed on Aug 23.

Anticipating for my copy. Hehe.

classicman · « **Reply #89 on:** Aug 14, 2005 at 07:10 AM »

i still haven't made up my mind until now, am torn between the r1 & the r2 japan release na mas gusto ko ang cover art, the question is if both releases have identical discs contents, di ko kasi maintindihan ang nippongo, hehehe

......r2 UK is out of the equation coz it has a shorter running time at 164 mins. as compared to r1 w/ 171 mins......

so if anyone who understands the japanese language is kind enough to translate them & compare to the r1 release, it would be a great help for me & the others who are in the same predicament

thanks in advance
