Yup, only the second Peter Weir steelbook in the U.K.

Now, how's about steels for WITNESS, THE TRUMAN SHOW, GREEN CARD, FEARLESS and PICNIC AT HANGING ROCK.

Actually my Favorite Weir films are his Pre-Hollywood films (Like PICNIC at HANGING ROCK):

Some of his Hollywood fare is good: Fearless, Dead Poets
Some Great: Witness
Some I find terrible: Green Card, Truman Show.

 

[Wreck]

yeah i have that POS too lol

Good thing about stickerbooks as they are often very rare. Seems 1) the product buyer gets doped into thinking its a good thing thus they never reprint. and 2) stickerbook qty to take on is lower.

The transparent stickerbooks are a lot nicer. ie. inglorious bastards and transformers trilogy

Master and Commander is a great film but folks need to know if you are new to this film is that its a SLOW BURN ... its just an epic saga and don't expect some super duper hollywood climax ... just watch this to be in this time period and enjoy a long masterpiece. I think its close to 3 hours or so.

A more recent Peter Weir film and a HIDDEN gem in my eyes ... is THE WAY BACK starring Colin Farrell and Ed Harris among others. and a TRUE STORY. Seek it out! Uk had a nice slipcover long ago so i had to snag. Definitely worth all the ninjas viewing time at least once!

For me this screams for a crackle finish, to give it an aged Turner artwork finish.

Will they do it, not a hope.

When was the last crackle finish? Clash of the Titans?

Hell yeah for the Truman show but the Tv Pixel Poster will be a mess as a steel art.
That title Of - Picnic a Hanging Rock - is so totally out of context, and the sum up of the undertitle is so literally explicit, need to keep an eye on this, by the way whats was the rate for this film?

 

[Noodles]

I've been wanting a Truman Show steelbook for ages... it's one of my top 5 favourite films of all-time!

Some cool press gifts back from 2003

Real brass telescopes keychain and a much bigger one with leather and wood box.

 

[steelmybeatingheart]

the cover and back are growing on me, but i'm still not sure about the catalogue pose inside art. i know i'll be buying this, though, because, well, it's Master and Commander.

Alright!!
Now MORE Peter Weir steelbooks!!
@elle82 - Australia in the house.... @Mark Wilson

i would love some proper Peter Weir releases. one of the best directors of his generation, yet doesn't get the various releases of many, and very few (any?) premiums. Fearless hasn't even had a basic blu-ray release in the UK, i think?

Witness could be a great Plain Archive release, and The Truman Show pixel poster with today's leading lentis (especially after seeing Manta's Walter Mitty)....

Picnic at Hanging Rock i can't comment on, as it's my significant other's favourite film, so by law all negative comments are banned in our house. but it is the film that brought me to this site (searching for a new edition), so i can't complain, really.

nice goodies, @Wreck!

True. I had to buy my copy as a Warner Archive U.S. import (which I don't mind too much although a fair amount of patience is required to pick up those Archive releases at decent prices) and I think that that's the only release worldwide.

When I first saw this back I misread it and thought it was "for ENGLAND, for HOME and for the PIZZA". Yikes!

Can not wAit for this

I got an email from Zavvi (at 1:30 PM EST) yesterday that this was live.
When I checked at 9:30 PM it said "Sold Out".
Did they screw up sending me an early email, or did this really go live and sell out?

They must've screwed up... I believe it goes live tomorrow around 6PM BST.
