We already knew that Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey would get a physical media release on November 17, but today, we learned what those products will include, and they’re pretty impressive.
First up is the massive Limited Edition 4K Ultra HD Premium Gift Set, which costs a whopping $300. According to a promotional video on Amazon, the set will include:
- An exclusive 4K Ultra HD Steelbook (with different cover art than the Steelbook that’s sold separately)
- An authentic 70mm IMAX film cell and decorative display holder
- A limited edition copy of James Mottram’s Filming The Odyssey book
- A numbered certificate of authenticity
It’s not clear how many copies of this gift set will be available, but chances are, there aren’t very many.
Next up is the limited edition 4K Ultra HD Steelbook, which costs a more reasonable $40. Presumably, this will be a little easier to get your hands on than the gift set, even though it’s still a limited edition. In addition to a Blu-ray copy of the film, it also includes a bonus disc with behind-the-scenes extras. “With an exclusive collection of 12 in-depth special features personally overseen by Christopher Nolan, this behind-the-scenes look takes audiences inside every aspect of The Odyssey‘s ambitious production through on-set footage and interviews with Nolan alongside key cast and crew who brought the epic to life,” the Amazon product description reads. “Together, these pieces showcase the artistry, innovation, and craftsmanship behind the landmark adaptation of Homer’s legendary tale.”
Finally, there are three standard, non-limited editions available: a 4K Ultra HD and Blu-ray combo ($30), a Blu-ray ($25), and a DVD ($20). The 4K Ultra HD and Blu-ray combo appears to include the bonus special features disc, while the solo Blu-ray and DVD don’t. Here’s what the art on those boxes looks like:
The limited edition gift set has been selling out quickly, so if you really want it and you see it in stock, you should probably grab it while you can.
