Artwork is by Fox and same steelbook will likely get a release in other European countries

Zavvi are just a retailer who sell products from Distributors
Zavvi don't do any artwork design or manufacture products

Zavvi are the same type of retailer as Amazon/HMV and other High street Music/Film stores they sell products from distributors

No different to the other Fox range of pop art steelbooks you see other retailers sell

These get released in various countries with some retailers getting exclusive as a retailer for that country

Until Fox stop doing these artwork type steelbook releases it will continue and there is more to come
Fox same film distributor that done the terrible Alien and Predator and other pop art steelbooks released in Europe

From Hell
Limbs can be removed with a sharp knife
Catch me when you can Mr Snow Flake


Fantastic Film
But I already have the UK Blu-ray and UK DVD Steelbook and USA Director's Limited Edition DVD with easter egg video of Jack the Ripper: The Final Solution

I also have the original VHS and the Book of Jack the Ripper: The Final Solution by Stephen Knight
From Hell Film is mostly based on elements this novel by Stephen Knight and the Graphic Novel From Hell by alan moore is also based on the Stephen Knight novel

 

[Zephyr]

I still need a blu-ray for this title but I'll stick to my dvd for now....yikes!

I'll keep the steel in a brown bag and bring it out every Halloween to scare trick or treaters!

First steelbook worldwide for this and WAR GAMES so bound to be other more appealing verions in the future.

Yes, nobody has any love for this artistic effort and a pity we couldn't have had this US front cover w/ Fox Halloween faceplate . . . even though it's quite close to the BRAM STOKER'S DRACULA steelbook:-

The FROM HELL graphic novel cover illustrated by Eddie Campbell is also pretty decent and would've made for interesting wraparound cover art:-

One thing worth mentioning: unusual not to see Johnny Depp in close-up on the front of a steelbook for one of his films (exceptions of course):-

I have seen the error of my ways and cancelled. This is so much better

 

[BDDB]

Crap art plus crap release, the film is screaming out for a re-master. I still regret upgrading to the BD years ago and I only paid £5.

 

[Marc Dooley]

I would love to own a steelbook of this film, but this is an abysmal atrocity

 

[Eti]

Wow so much hate lol

 

[virkia]

Just had to provide proof that at least someone has bought this:-

I'd suggest Knight's book also had strong influence on Bob Clark's "Murder By Decree" which is an excellent flik pitting Sherlock Holmes (Christopher Plummer) against Jack.
That film is in desperate need of a Blu release as well. Lions Gate released a dvd as late as 2009, why?

“Sherlock Holmes.” They did it to cash in on Holmes-related interest stirred up by the Ritchie dusting off of the IP.
