Historical epic “Gladiator” is getting a Zavvi exclusive 4K Steelbook release in April

On April 30th Zavvi are bringing us this new 3-disc (that should be 1 x 4K, 1 x Blu-ray and 1 x Bonus Features Blu-ray) steelbook release of Gladiator, which will feature – if it matches the US release (which it should) – a new 4K scan of the movie, as well as both the theatrical and extended cuts, and DTS:X audio (fully backward compatible with DTS:MA).

This release will have a very limited number of copies available, and pre-orders will be live around midday UK time on Monday April 2nd, so ignore the ‘sold out’ button for now.
