Fox has unveiled updated specs and box art for 'Meet the Spartans,' which will hit Blu-ray this June in an "Unrated Pit of Death Edition' with never-before seen footage.

Fox first announced a June 3 Blu-ray premier for the $40 million-grossing medieval spoof (day-and-date with the standard DVD), though early indications were that the film would be presented in its original theatrical version only.
