Chinatown (Blu-ray SteelBook) [UK]

Great movie but I just picked up the CA Slipcover for 6 EUR with the same art. But with a amazing finish 
So I'll pass..
So I'll pass..
Oh for the love of god
The Steelbooks I want with slipcases have the same artwork. Yet others have different artwork
Puts me off buying

I really like the German edition which looks similar but the finish isn't great and the lack of inside artwork is really disappointing. This looks like it will be an improvement. I expect the slip won't be the best but the Steelbook should be nice judging by the last few releases.
I already have the USA Steelbook but has no inside artwork
USA Blu-ray has good extras very good extras
UK Blu-ray has no extras at all
Unless it's a new Blu-ray Disc it will be the same as previous UK Blu-ray

Have the exact same one. I would buy this one from Zoom and just swap disc with the US release.
Yes, thank you Zoom for another classic with a slipcover to join the previous 2 classics from another era announced recently.
A film obviously well deserving of a steelbook and with the most recognisable poster image for the front which is a big
for me.
Poster design by DIENER-HAUSER, poster artwork by JIM PEARSALL
Other images maybe not as good and certainly not as recognisable as the one chosen:-

Bought the U.K. Blu-ray when it came out with the same artwork but unfortunately that didn't come with a slipcover unlike the gorgeous one that I think came with the original U.S. Blu-ray edition and, as has been mentioned already, our release was sadly lacking in Special Features when compared to the U.S. release.
It did come with an eight page booklet but that's scant consolation for the lack of Special Features on the disc particularly as about four of the pages are pictures . . .
Regarding the lack of Special Features: it seems to me than an error must have been made as this is a BD50 after all with plenty of space on the disc for a Commentary track etc. Fingers crossed they correct this for the new release.

Would have ordered with RAK15OFF but appears to have EXPIRED, alas
SIGNUP10 still good for a bit off though
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Fans of Mr. Polanski quite lucky this year with a nice little boxset coming in Nov including his very first film - KNIFE IN THE WATER - and one of my favourites - REPULSION - although none of these are likely to find themselves inside steelbooks . . .
. . . ROSEMARY'S BABY on the other hand . . .

Zoom really need to fix this re-used slipcover/steelbook art problem.
