Now, “This…is…Sparta!”

Warner Home Video have announced the Region 1 DVD release of ‘300: Limited Collector’s Edition’ on 18th November 2008. This rousing, blood-soaked blockbuster, based on the graphic novel by Frank Miller and directed by Zack Snyder, returns to DVD as a new Limited Edition set that is “available only while supplies last”.

This impressive Limited Edition set features the existing 2-Disc Special Edition content alongside a third disc containing a new thirty-minute documentary ‘To The Hot Gates: A Legend Retold’, a comprehensive and dynamic description of the process filmmakers followed to take an ancient legend through a graphic novel and finally realizing it as a feature film. In addition there is a bonus Digital Copy of the film, a 52-page hardcover art book with a personal message from Snyder, a lucite display with motion film image and six collectible photo cards, priced at $49.92 SRP. There has not been a Blu-ray announcement.

I can’t wait to purchase this lavish set. I am a fan of Snyder’s epic masterpiece and Gerard Butler as well, this ‘is’ the film that helped catapult his career. ‘300’ certainly did for him what ‘Gladiator’ did for Russell Crowe. Entertaining to no end and vast amounts of bloody action, “This…is…Sparta!”
