Both versions cut out key characters from the book which speed the plot along more than admirably & both versions are equally as good (yes, I can read!-books & everything!)

I really like the art for this one, but there need to be a price drop before I convince myself to buy it. And zavvi needs to stop making steels for every movie out there before they start losing the collectors as customers.

Love the front artwork - not keen on the back

This is an Icon release so should be £14.99 like all the other Icon releases.

It's meant to be blood on snow right? So it can't be silver?

I was under the impression it was blood splatter on a frosted glass/window?

 

[Aw 83]

Not a fan of the artwork on front as it could of been better and more detailed but the back looks good. Great film never the less.

 

[kensingtonite]

Front art should have been one of these 3 "IMO"

I totally agree. The artwork on this is just boring, especially with so man great choices they could have gone with. Regardless, I will be buying this just because I love the film.

Is that gonna be on release or...eventually?

Two Play.

Two discs. Disc 1. Original. Disc 2. Remake.
Front art first film. Back art second film.

So much controversy with the versions of this because of the close proximity between the two releases, a Two Play steelbook like the recent x-files steelbook would of been a great way of doin this exclusive release IMHO.

….only seen this remake edition btw. not bad, but certainly not spectacular to these eyes. its greatest achievement is probably making every1 who sees it want to see the original lol ….too bad as the plot is ofc thoroughly spoiled after watching this. … why oh why did they have to name it so similar ? when it was on TV i thought i was watching the original ….now i can’t experience the original story as the director intended goddammmit

That's impossible cant happen unless a joint distribution happened by 2 different companies
1) Let the Right One In (2008) (Swedish Production from EFTI/Sandrew Metronome Distribution)
Blu ray/DVD Released in UK by Momentum Pictures in 2008

2) Let Me In (2010) (UK Production from Hammer Films)
Blu ray/DVD Released in UK by Icon Home Entertainment in 2010

They are different Films
Let Me In is not really a remake of Let the Right One In
Its an English adaptation of Låt den rätte komma in (Let the Right One In (novel) released in 2004
Both films are different adaptations of the Novel

Note
Let Me In
The film received highly positive reviews from critics, becoming one of the best critically reviewed films of 2010 and was placed on several critics' top-ten list

@SaberTooth
Thanks for the post .. I've listened to the podcast for years but never looked up the hosts, so it feels weird to have a face associated with a familiar voice lol.

I don't normally post in threads where I have no interest in purchasing the steelbook, but I did agree with Kermode in that review and also Filmspotting's review of Fincher's The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo.
Both are perfectly well made films with higher production values, more social exposure and arguably better acting/directing ... but there's really no point in either film existing other than to make money and/or satisfy an English-only speaking audience.
You could say the same for the recent Oldboy remake, which was an embarrassing effort.

^^ Thanks. and yes for more art type stuff i tend to trust Kermode. ....but stay well clear if u also like mega-blockbusters lol. btw he's also normaly on 24hr news TV channel on fridays if u got time.

 

[hayemaker]

Is that gonna be on release or...eventually?

On release. The Road, Buried and 30 Days of Night were all 14.99.

 

[psychoscot]

Kermode is a complete c*ck. My toenails have better taste than him!

 

[Flloydo]

Absolutely love this film, I do like the original too but the cat scene winds me up. Anyway not liking this art so a pass from me

 

[Kvack]

Are Icon releases region-free?

 

[themanfromunkle]

Someone must have heard us talking-price dropped to £14.99

 

[Mrhoyt]

14.99 is much better.
