Release Date for 300 Spartans DVD


The 300 Spartans was scheduled to be released late last year, 2003. However it was pulled with no reason given. I just read at www.digitalbits.com that it will now be released May 11th, 2004 no doubt to coincide with the release of Troy. I look forward to finally seeing 300 Spartans!

I actually got through to 20th Century Fox and they have confirmed that the movie will be released on May 11th 2004 (about time too!). Of course it was supposed to be released in May 2003 and we know what happened then! However, for some reason the DVD has been available up here in Canada through eBay of all places. That makes me believe it will be issue dthis time.

Rapture! I hope this new interest in making movies set in antiquity will be an antidote to the current slew of rubbish coming out of Hollywood.
As you probably know, '300 Spartans' is a fine film, hampered mostly by uninspiring production values. The actors are good, the script is intelligent and the film has Heart. Richard Egan might not be ideal but he has charisma (100 times superior to any Ben Affleck).
Why was the 2003 release-date postponed?

You're just wasting your breath, and that's no great loss, either.
