‘The Odyssey’ Announces Home Video Release — Including a $300 Steelbook

The details are officially out for the home video release of Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey. The 4K and Blu-ray will be available on November 17 (“months before [the film is] available on subscription streaming services” the press release declares) and will include more than 90 minutes of bonus features about the making of the film, including featurettes about the film’s Trojan horse, shooting on location, the score, the special effects, and more.

But that’s not really news; pretty much every blockbuster gets a 4K and Blu-ray release. The news is the fact that the film is not only getting a steelbook release — it’s getting a “Limited Edition 4K Ultra HD Premium Giftset” steelbook that will set you back $300. 

$300 bones for one movie? $300 bones for one movie.

Of course, it comes with a bunch of extras besides the movie. It includes the book Filming the Odyssey, which normally retails for $75 all by itself, with a different cover the standard release, plus a 70mm film cell, and a certificate of authenticity. The steelbook itself inside this premium set also features different box art than the standard steelbook, which retails for $39.99.
