August 30, 2004 - Touchstone Pictures has announced it will release King Arthur on December 21 in both rated and unrated versions. Both editions will sell for $29.99.

Audio commentary with director Antoine Fuqua

Deleted scenes with optional director commentary

An alternate ending with director commentary
