Synopsis:
Filmed over 12 years with the same cast, Richard Linklater's Boyhood is a groundbreaking story of growing up as seen through the eyes of a child named Mason (Ellar Coltrane), who literally grows up on screen before our eyes. Starring Ethan Hawke and Patricia Arquette as Mason's parents and newcomer Lorelei Linklater as his sister Samantha, Boyhood charts the rocky terrain of childhood like no other film has before and is both a nostalgic time capsule of the recent past and an ode to growing up and parenting.

One of the best films of 2014 to me, I am 100% in for a group buy, glad to see Mondo going in this direction instead of predictible titles of films that already have a bunch of steelbooks.

That was one film I did not expect to get a steelbook (or digibooks, I fall for that too), let alone a Mondo steelbook, that's a great surprise .

 

[Paperinukke]

Really surprising choice, but not unpleasant at all... Haven't seen this movie yet , I'm sure it will be a great add to my Richard Linklater collection though. I'm just glad they're making a steelbook of a movie like this, something not too obvious.

Oh I want to get in on a group buy for this

 

[SonicBoom]

I watched about 45 min of this and didn't really see much of a story here. Just a kid growing up.

Cool SteelBook though.

 

[Aw 83]

Did not enjoy this film, but thanks for the info and to the rest of the ninjas who have been looking forward to this good luck and enjoy...

 

[zoneism]

This looks good, and I'm intrigued to see the movie given the time and commitment put into it

I assume there will be a GB for us. Has it gone live already?

 

[serjitank]

Future shop prices usually go down a bit right? how do they do that? refund you some money?

 

[wjasoncul]

So does this mean there will be 2 versions of this SteelBook?

NM... the orange image is the slip? I see now

 

[snooloui]

I don't like the artwork especially the white strip on the front and inside. The effort put into these releases has to be commended though. If only every Steelbook release was handled this way.

 

[Drum18]

Group Buy coming soon.... don't you guys worry

 

[Narg]

@Drum18 your a star

 

[Dan Kyte]

I'm intrigued to see the release date for this. If it's relatively soon it'd be cool if I could possibly group Boyhood with my purchase of the Mondo Drive steelbook, @Drum18? Would save me a teensy bit of money when it comes to shipping to the UK and whatnot.

I don't understand the white stripe either. I thought it was the J-card to begin with.

 

[lolwut]

This movie is currently one of the best of the year and holds a 99% on Rotten Tomatoes. I personally think that this movie does not deserve a Mondo steelbook release however, just my opinion.

You guys make no sense...how is it not deserving if it's one of the best films of the year and holds a 99% on RT? And the people that have no interest in the film - fair enough, but if you're a fan of groundbreaking filmmaking you pretty much owe it to yourself to see the film.

P.S. The artwork is a beauty

 

[badgerman]

Really hoping this will be region free, be a blind buy but heard nothing but good reviews about this!

Really hoping this will be region free, be a blind buy but heard nothing but good reviews about this!

Same, was very disappointed that Drive wasn't. This is a specialist line similar to what the Asian companies do, so they need to be region ABC.

did anyone preorder when the link was working, will our order still go through?
the steel isnt on the site anymore
