Great news that " Demetrius and the Gladiators", sequel to "The Robe,
is coming to Blu Ray in March. Saw these both as a double feature in
the early 60's. Watch them regularly

i already own the robe (great movie) but i never saw demetrius and the gladiators but i will try renting it on dvd to see if it is good and then buy it as soon as it will come out on blu, i hope it is good because if it is i will definitely place it in the biblical part of my blu-ray collection.

It's a great movie, but they went for a sword-and-sandals/gladiator-type vibe on it, rather than biblical. If you adjust your expectations accordingly, I think you'll love it.

Great movie that I can't wait to see on Blu-ray.

[arcadeforest]

I finally got around to seeing The Robe a few nights back, good timing with this coming out in a few months.

[Cinemave]

This is a great movie, I'll have to pick it up. I only wish it were a wee bit longer.

Does anybody have an idea when this will be up for pre-order?

Demetrius and the Gladiators will only be available from screenarchives.com (limited to 3000 copies)..... I have purchased two Blu-rays from them.. The Egyptian and Mysterious Island... both are excellent transfers. I do intend to purchase Demetrius and the Gladiators from them.. It is not showing on their web site yet, but will soon. I believe the release date is March 8

[keithvg]

Thanks Pirate King. I bought The Egyptian from them as well. Really want to get my hands on Demetrius.

[rondanto]

Horrible cover choice. Why not stick to the original artwork? It was never used on previous vhs or dvd releases

[HyperRealist]

pre-orders are up

Preordered! I've never seen the robe (which I will before I watch this) but this one sounds interesting

[Clark Kent]

This movie will likely turn out to be the second most popular release that Twilight Time has done on Blu-ray, only behind the success of Fright Night. Fright Night did sell out a few weeks after release. This is not a case where I would procrastinate in ordering if you really want this Demetrius Blu-ray.

[rkolinski]

I've seen this so many times in the past, including on the big screen, but can't wait to see it on BD. Just ordered so thanks for the heads up!

Same Blu-ray, released by Fox. It's just you can get it much cheaper at Amazon.

i thought so, thanks buddy

[Clark Kent]

The Robe is a tremendous Blu-ray, by the way. Highly recommended for any fan of historical epics.

[keithvg]

Well I have pre-ordered a copy and I just hope that it is region free like "The Egyptian"

I think so too Clark, which is why I haven't taken any chances placing a day one pre-order. Of course, I don't expect Demetrius and the Gladiators to be an over-the-top sell out like Fright Night, but interest in this title at home and abroad will be considerably higher than normal, simply because it is the sequel to Fox' watershed 'Scope classic The Robe, and there will only be 3000 available globally. I mean, at least 3 or 4 times that number bought the original on Blu, so 3000 discs isn't really a lot when you consider the worldwide fanbase...
