Was just talking about this movie at lunch. Love the movie but not a fan of this art.

LMAO......

Thanks @TobinFrost

@steel888 You Know......

Zavvi: pushing buttons, one steelbook at a time.

Would love to see Film Arena take a crack at this one, no doubt they would knock it out the park.

Price says £19.99 now

 

[nekromantik]

Not fan of the art either,
Come on FA release this and do it justice!

 

[Flloydo]

Oh those teeth!

Was hoping they would get rid of them on the final product.

Might wait for the ole bargain bin

 

[ChoppedUp]

Sorry if you designed the art but imo there are much better selections in the entries page.

 

[IRON MAN]

Not bad.

If stays at £20 for that art no thanks

You'll be able to get it for £7.99 eventually.

 

[Noodles]

Even as someone who's a fan of the artwork, I ain't paying £20 for it. I imagine it'll go back down to £15.99 once it goes live though... remember they usually hike up the price just before it goes live so they can say that you're saving money.

Wow. That artwork is so awful. So airbrushy and amateurish. Looks like it was made by a teenager just learning photoshop. Goddamn.

 

[C.C. 95]

Not bad.

Not Good.

 

[ChrisGonzalez]

This one looks much better I think. Simple, Clean, Effective.

Way better. But why is everything Drawings? They shot a movie that has actual images of the actors in it...

Yeah I know. I would actually prefer real photos too. This I think looks the best out of real photo designs for the steel book so far. The largest size I could find of it though.

This was my favorite of all the choices, too. In fact, I think it's utterly perfect. But I have a serious weakness for stark minimalism.

Don't you ever get tired of packages with actors from the film all over them, @C.C. 95 ? It seems like that's what's on the vast majority of packages, and I'm getting really tired of it. It often doesn't leave much room for interesting design either, which is the very thing I'm in this game for. I mean, you love 4AD design--how often did they put photos of the band members on their covers? I know, I know, music is abstract whereas movies are concretely visual, but still. I guess I'm starting to get jaded.

I have nothing against GOOD art! Slap a Drew Struzan or Bob Peak art on? GREAT.
But this childish Pop Art, Reel Heroes, Iconic Art crap is just B-A-D. It isn't poster One-sheet style art. It is McDonald's Happy Meal style cartoons.

Oh, I agree with all that, I absolutely hate those "art" series releases where they dump dozens of unrelated movies into one bland, homogenized melting pot. The series that have a minimal style give minimalism a very bad name. And I wasn't defending Zavvi's final choice either, I'm thoroughly unimpressed by it (although I don't think it's horrible). I just noticed that you've been pushing for Bale on the covers in this thread (I think--I haven't looked back through it recently), and I was kind of surprised by that.
