The film – about the Battle of Thermopylae – is out on blu-ray on 5 October and om digital on 6 October.
The disc set will contain an Ultra HD Blu-ray disc with the feature film in 4K with HDR, and a Blu-ray disc of 300. The digital version will be available in 4K Ultra HD.
Based on the stylized graphic novel from Frank Miller, 300 is an epic action-adventure about the 300 Spartan warriors led by the heroic King Leonidas (Gerard Butler) who challenged Xerxes (Rodrigo Santoro) and his massive Persian army at the ancient Battle of Thermopylae. Its ferocious, lushly intense visual style blends live-action and CGI animation.
(Interesting fact of the day: Gerard Butler was 36 when 300 was released, but the real King Leonidas was SIXTY when he died during the battle.)
Ultra HD showcases 4K resolution with High Dynamic Range (HDR) and a wider colour spectrum, offering consumers brighter, deeper, more lifelike colours.
