Going to see Gladiator 2 this weekend, really looking forward to it. I hate being ripped off for the cinema, a standard seat has just cost me £14.50! You can get the Blu-ray for about that after it’s released.

Just cancelled it and got a refund, I am going to buy the Blu-ray instead.

I’m going for the £45 quid box - one of my favourite films. Can’t justify the big box set. Although, 10 years ago I’d have just gone all out.

I see there's a slightly less unpalatable Zavvi pre-order available. Order placed with appropriate bah humbug face on!

Amzn and Zavvi showing Dec 2025 as release date - what's going on? Why can't everyone just update and show the correct information? What is correct?! I'm not ordering if we're still a year away!

I've given up looking on that site, as I have to untick millions of boxes to retain a possibility of privacy.

Can't say I particularly care for it - prefer Film Stories, though that's a bit more ad hoc in updates.

£13.50 for the Blu-ray here with the discount code:

Twenty years after the death of gladiator Maximus, his son Lucius is captured in Carthage when it falls to the Romans. Trained as a gladiator and brought back to fight in the Colosseum as an anonymous barbarian, Lucius quickly gains notoriety and becomes the center of a power struggle for the...

I think I will pre-order it. Looks like the discount code only works on the 4K Blu-ray. £14.99 for the Blu-ray then.

Speaking of Gladiator, the original film, does anyone know what exactly happened to his dog?
Being a GSD perhaps it defected to the opposition....

Just to add another question to your question is the answer here:

Who Lucius' Father Is In Gladiator, And Who Gladiator 2 Changes It To

Gladiator 2 changes the identity of Lucius' father

About who Lucius dad is. I am still not sure I get it though!

The original film implied that Maximus and Lucilla had been 'close'!

Recently seen Zavvi announcing a digipack version - only stating one disc though. That might be incorrect, but if it's not, there's no way in hell I'm investing in a 2 hour film where they've shoehorned all the extras onto the same disc - it's bad enough it's not DolbyVision or an Atmos soundtrack (both criminal), and now they're throttling the potential picture quality? That's a pass from me if it's one disc.

I can only hope that Shout Factory get a license to produce a release of it further down the line - they'll do it properly.
