Excellent news. Getting sick of these catalogue titles at £15.99 though especially when most drop in price

Was hoping the Uk would get it but I might go for the Italian version when it drops and it's bound to drop.

Plus December is a bit busy for me now with pre orders and other bits. Not to mention about 10 premium editons I'm waiting on to go live. A few blu fans, manta and Zeta. Pricey



Also this has to be gloss. Matte will ruin those beautiful colours

wish zavvi would release these at 11.99 or something. I willl always go for the italian versions since they are 3-5 cheaper. I would normally say this will go to the 9.99 or under bin but with the 1000 print limit i doubt it will last that long

This and sleepy hollow are burtons only decent films since 1999!!!

I was quite impressed with Big Eyes.

Love me some wraparound artwork
But . . . worrying development . . . this limiting more and more catalogue title steelbooks to 1,000 to justify continued high prices and got to hand it to the smart operators at Zavvi - these old titles, long available in the U.K. on Blu-ray, should be priced @GBP 11 at best not GBP 16 and limiting them only serves to encourage re-sellers leading to a quicker sell out than the steelbook deserves and lessens the chances of true collectors picking them up at sensible prices further down the line and for me at least that's a not a good thing.
Keep proper limited editions - up to 1,000 - for the premium steelbook brigade as they deserve something rare taking into consideration just how much those things are costing them.

I still need to see it. Very different to burtons normal style.

But this is a great film. Great cast too and soooo random. Wish he continued make films like this

Love me some wraparound artwork

Except its poorly done in my opinion.
They just flipped the front image and removed the BIG FISH text / tree. Even the spine is just a cut out section from the front.

 

[virkia]

That's one way of looking at it.
Personally I like artwork that flows across the spine from front to back even when the back is almost a mirror image of the front (symmetry and all that jazz) and at least the sky appears to be different and as you mentioned no tree/title on the back . . .

There's also the rarity value with fewer than 20 out of 900 approx. U.K. steelbooks the last time I checked with wraparound artwork.

Oh this is awesome news, I've so wanted this movie in a steelbook for a long time now.

Oh Shiz! Never noticed that. Well that's annoying now!

Still looks lovely but yeah that is annoying

I'd rather not another pic of Ewan walking and just had that as the flat background carrying on and no path

Hoping the finish is good and not matte or zero varnish or satin finsh.

Debossed big fish title might work too.

i just will keep my Italian order since it will be cheaper for me, nice to see this one showing in other places!
