At first I was going to say that I thought the Gladiator remaster was just because of all the complaints about DNR so bad on the first release that arrows would disappear mid-flight in the opening battle sequence. My recollection was that that happened fairly quickly after the first release and was therefore different from a remaster happening a few years later.
But in looking at the site's database, it appears there has been a remastered Gladiator released in the UK that wasn't released in the US . . . ?

Paramount has the rights for Gladiator in North America, Universal for everywhere else in the world, as far as I know. There is a remastered US release:

You can also compare it with the remastered German release on the page (same as the UK release). They're basically identical and look amazing... Which is why this anniversary edition being yet another remaster seems very unlikely.. Maybe it has some new extras, although the 2 x disc (both blu rays) UK remastered release is stacked with extras.
As for Tremors, it's possible that it will just be a solo release of the slightly less atrocious non-DNRed release from the Tremors Attack Pack release of all 4 Tremors movies (Tremors 1 is on a single disc with Tremors 2, and Tremors 3 + 4 are on Disc 2):

Waterworld looks crappy and could definitely use a new master.
