Gladiator SE News
From DigitalBits:
Also today, we have word that DreamWorks is currently in production on a new DVD special edition of Ridley Scott's Gladiator, that will feature all new extras (different than what was featured on the previous release) and possibly an extended version of the film itself.

Why? The disc now is one of the best dvds of all time feature wise, especially for being a few years old. Is this going to tie in with some other movie as a promo?

It would have to have some great new features and a good extended cut for me to double dip, but Gladiator: Signature Series is already one perfect DVD (visually, audio, supplemental) and I don't know why you want to mess with perfection.

I have been wanting to upgrade my version to the Signiture Series version for the DTS:ES track,so i guess now i will wait in hopes that the new version carries over the audio tracks from the SS.

It'd be nice if this new SE would have some special features....
Anyway....I think this SE was originally rumored to incorporate the deleted scenes that were featured on the Signature Series disc. Several of which made the film more graphic in certain areas. One such shot was during the gladiator battle in the Monocco arena when one of the slaves threw a gladiator up on a wall of spikes. In the TC the camera doesn't show the guy being impaled but the deleted scene does. Other deleted scenes show an extended opening battle against the Germanic barbarians.

The current disc is more then good enough. Ridley should get his ass in gear on Blade Runner SE.

Unless Ridley stops by the house to hand the new one to me, I'll stick with my 2-disc w/dts.
