Director Zack Snyder’s sword-and-sandal epic 300 is being re-issued on DVD with a limited collector’s edition slated for release on Nov. 18. from Warner Home Video. Available only while supplies last, the disc set will include all of the special features offered in the previously released two-disc special edition, plus a bonus disc containing a new documentary titled To The Hot Gates: A Legend Retold. The doc offers a comprehensive look at the process involved in bringing Frank Miller’s graphic novel to the screen.
Much like Robert Rodriguez’s cinematic treatment of Miller’s Sin City, director Snyder’s interpretation of 300 was shot mostly against green screens with digital artists creating the environments and adding animated elements. The film offers an account of the ancient battle of Thermopylae, in which King Leonidas (Gerard Bulter) and 300 Spartans fought to the death against Xerxes and his massive Persian army. Their valor and sacrifice inspired all of Greece to unite and prevent the end of democracy in the Western world.
300 Limited Collector’s Edition will retail for $49.92. Included 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.
