Alexander Revisited: The Final Cut Collector's Edition includes several new bonus features and a 4K format of the cult classic film

Alexander Revisited: The Final Cut Is Getting A 4K Collector's Edition Blu-Ray

The Alexander Revisited: The Final Cut Collector's Edition includes a new 4K restoration of Alexander Revisited: The Final Cut that was supervised and approved by director Oliver Stone. Clocking in at 213 minutes, the Final Cut features over 30 minutes of footage not included in the original film. That’s an astronomical runtime, so don’t be surprised if you have to break it up into multiple viewings. The 4K Blu-ray also supports Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos, and includes a long list of special features, which we've outlined below. A standard Blu-ray version of the movie is also included.

Alexander tells the story of Alexander the Great. Set in 4th Century BC, it follows the conqueror's rise to power, examining his childhood, historic battles, and eventual defeat. It’s a sweeping epic, and one that grew a bit more popular with the Final Cut and its additional scenes.

It's worth noting that a standard edition version of Alexander Revisited: The Final Cut launched earlier and is available now for just $15.85, though it lacks many of the bonus features of the upcoming 4K version. Other versions are also on sale, including Alexander: The Ultimate Cut for $13.14 (was $20), which is a bit shorter than the Final Cut.

If you're a fan of historical epics and Greco-Roman history, you might also want to check out the new Gladiator and Gladiator 2 4K Steelbook releases that are available now, including a Gladiator 2-Movie Steelbook Collection that launched May 6 and bundles the 4K editions of both movies in a single package.
