One of the best films of all time is getting a Steelbook release this August. Can you guess which one it is? Citizen Kane maybe? Gone With the Wind? Maybe Star Wars? Nope, August is going to bring us the first ever 4K Blu-ray of Monty Python and the Holy Grail to celebrate the film’s 50th anniversary. It will come wrapped in the awesome Steelbook case pictured here, though as a limited edition you’ll want to reserve one sooner rather than later. There are probably a lot of Monty Python fans with Blu-ray players out there that will be dying to get their hands on this. All of the details you’ll need can be found below.
The film is presented in 4K resolution with Dolby Vision, though it will also include a slightly shorter version of the film in HD resolution which apparently is based on the VHS release. You’ll also find special features like the new “‘Tis But A Tribute”, which brings together many “comedy luminaries” to look back on the last 50 years of Monty Python. For fans of the incredibly famous comedy troupe, this steelbook set is a must-have, offering multiple commentaries with Terry Gilliam, Terry Jones, John Cleese, Eric Idle and Michael Palin.
As noted, The Monty Python and the Holy Grail 4K Blur-ray Limited Edition Steelbook will be released on August 26 and should be available to pre-order here on Amazon and here at Walmart in the coming days. Read below for a full list of all included special features.
