I like it. So there.

Well, of course...
It's a steelbook design that is pure evil.

 

[Seung bok]

concept is good match

 

[lolwut]

I like it. So there.

Yes but you hate good things

No, I hate crap. It's not my fault everyone else has no taste.

Zavvi still didn't have an image on their page so maybe the cover isn't final yet

Well, all of Zavvi's steelbooks have no cover and are released on 12/31...

Another one for October - great . . . I mean that's 26 steelbooks listed so far this month (with 22 being Zavvi exclusives) and though not a record month - that belongs to last December with 31 - is still going it a bit.

Artwork up at Zavvi for the world to see so it won't be long before this goes 'live' I imagine but still waiting to order 'Lawrence' and 'Dracula' which are apparently being released one week before this!

Not sure about the choice of front art as not really a fan of cut-off images on the front cover choice and I imagine that anyone who disliked those EIV cropped steels will hate this and consider it a step too far with half of the head cropped.

Good colouring though (IF black on a bright white glossy background with those slashes of red) and should be quite effective in hand IMO if I can just get past the missing half head.
Watched 'Don't Look Now' the other day for the umpteenth time and it was the first time I noticed so many red items strategically placed throughout the film connecting the equally horrifying beginning and end.

Another to add to the growing selection of black/white/red U.K. steels and I don't imagine this will hang around for long once it goes 'live' because it's listed on Zavvi as being an "Ultra Limited Print Run" (1,000 / 1,500 ?) so don't imagine for a minute that you'll be able to pick this up for a tenner in a few months . . . IMHO.

This will get the FA treatment ... I got a feeling !

This will get the FA treatment ... I got a feeling !

Hope so, and hopefully with completely different steel art to this abomination.

 

[InAFalsetto]

The steel art will be a non-issue if the slipcover has amazing artwork !

I don't buy slips, I buy steelbooks. Same steel = no purchase

 

[InAFalsetto]

I don't buy slips, I buy steelbooks. Same steel = no purchase

Fair do's ... well let's hope we get the FA treatment at least otherwise I definitely won't be buying either.

Italian language is impossible...

i hope we can have a better artwork. I don't like this one

 

[Flash]

I hated this and was sad as i love the film but seeing these new additional pictures it looks alot better, I hope its white and not silver/metal that they tend to be.

Another case where you might have to find a guy to make a custom lenti magnet to cover up that cartoon on the front...

Any live date news, is it not coming out soon?

 

[virkia]

Apparently to be released on the 26 - 10 - 15

But what about LAWRENCE OF ARABIA and BRAM STOKER'S DRACULA which are listed for release on the 19 - 10 - 15 ?

 

[virkia]

The more I look at it the more I'm starting to like it (although it might be misinterpreted if I give my reasons)

Maybe something here of a Mondo influence - referencing 'The Thing' steelbook cover ?

Maybe also think 'The Picture of Dorian Gray' (1945)

You will get used to zavvi. They are usless and a lot of dates get changed. Not saying this will but a lot do. Most recentley blade 2 and John Carter etc

And ultra limited don't mean anything with these anymore.

Plus if FA get this it definatley won't sell out lol
