I think people are being a little ambitious by thinking that they're going to start limiting their purchases *by next year* because of HD-DVD. Maybe I'll be proven wrong, but I think it's going to be a hell of a long time before that format takes off in any real sense (with reasonable price/decent selection of titles/etc.)
By next year? Nope.

but the last thing i remember reading in the hollywood reporter was that they were in talks about a prequel style film. however, that might have changed recently and i missed the article.

Come on, a director's cut of Gladiator? It won Best Picture, apparently Scott did something right. No need to fix something that wasn't broken in the first place.
What we really need is a Special Edition of Blade Runner: The Director's Cut.
He's busy doing Kingdom of Heaven, so I doubt he'll have to time to participate in any DVD releases.

The "Director's Cut" thing strikes me as a marketing gimmick. I remember hearing Scott say in a commentary or something that he had no intentions of doing an extended version of Gladiator (and possibly other films) . I thought it was on the Gladiator commentary, but can't find it.
The video and audio is already stellar though I wouldn't object to more extras since the original is kinda light. It's got as much as the usual release has these days. Commentary, deleted scenes, HBO special, TLC gladiator documentary, and a featurette on music.

I'm in Melbourne, Australia, and one of our local networks showed the Gladiator : Director's Cut about two months ago. I didn't watch it (wasn't gonna watch that pan and scan crap), but I know I definitely saw an ad for it and read in the paper it had reinsertions of the DVD deleted scenes. Don't know if there were any other changes... it's weird, I've never heard anything else about it and I don't think there is any note of a Director's Cut on IMDB.

Does this movie seriously need any more fight scenes?
