The slipcover is glorious but the Steelbook is a bit poor. It's disappointing they've used the same poster image a few times over. If you're going to produce a premium package the artwork needs to be varied.

 

[Slinchafi]

Yeah, terrible steelbook. This is the first FAC release that peaked my interest in a long while, is there any chance they might change the art, or does this never happen?

100% toss the Steelbook for the UK one

Why does it look like TWO different steelbooks?
The one marked lenticular is clearly a steelbook and clearly has a pink spine. (The other spine is yellow)

I'm guessing FA take the packshot from elsewhere...E.g. Zavvi

 

[EvilThing]

That steel art is disappointing, especially the out of turn yellow art variant which as far as I'm aware hasn't been used anywhere to market it(? not to mention he never in the film has 'over the head' phones?)
Still having said that I don't think I'd go premium on this title anyway as (and this has proved VERY controversial in the cinema where I work ) I didn't enjoy the film anywhere near as much as I was hoping to and I've loved all of Edgar Wrights other stuff
Probably change my opinion a bit on the rewatch...

Am I correct in thinking from reading here that the slip art is a Mondo artists design?

 

[kryptonite]

The steelbook artwork is ugly as hell. Only that poster artwork on the slip has any redeeming value.

 

[jacobsever]

Steelbook is very ugly. But that won't stop me from buying this. Top 3 film of the year so far. Absolutely wonderful film. And I will never see the steelbook inside. I'll either put this on my regular blu ray stand, and I'll only see the slip box spine...or I'll display it on my special shelves, and you'll just see the front of the slip box. Either way, I'll never have to look at the steelbook. So it's a total non-issue.

 

[Raimi]

Yeah, terrible steelbook. This is the first FAC release that peaked my interest in a long while, is there any chance they might change the art, or does this never happen?

If memory serves me well, they only changed the art once and even then, it was for the Box ("one-click") for Logan. I don't recall any other changes. I think the chances are slim.

Its a WWA steel. They wont change the artwork. Honestly I dont have any issue with it. I get the epic lenti card and the awesome slip, I doubt most of you would open it.

So its fine to stay sealed and displayed. Must buy

Yes, he's done 4 prints for Mondo as far as I know. The Graduate, A Clockwork Orange, CA:The First Avenger and this total beauty:

The yellow artwork was done by Edgar's brother Oscar, and I think it was mostly used as like their on-set production logo for the film, so it was used on things like crew jackets and clapper boards and things.

Thanks guys, really hope Mondo do this as a steel as part of their line!

The Baby Driver poster? That wasn't released by Mondo, so it won't be part of the Mondo x line.
