ENTERTAINMENT ONE RELEASES MONSTERS: DARK CONTINENT SPECIAL STEELBOOK BLU-RAY



Entertainment One announces that it will release a special steelbook alongside the standard DVD and Blu-Ray for its home entertainment launch of Monsters: Dark Continent.



Featuring specially commissioned exclusive artwork by up-and-coming artist Matt Ferguson, who has previously produced stunning exclusive artwork for Marvel and Disney’s Guardians Of The Galaxy and Avengers: Assemble.


Directed by Tom Green, Executive Produced by Gareth Edwards (Monsters, Godzilla) and starring Johnny Harris (Atonement, Snow White and the Huntsman, War Horse), Joe Dempsie (Skins, Game of Thrones, The Damned United) and Sam Keeley (This Must Be The Place, What Richard Did, The Borgias), Monsters: Dark Continent is the nerve-shredding sequel to cult sci-fi thriller Monsters.


Ten years on from the events of Monsters, the 'Infected Zones' have now spread worldwide. In the Middle East a new insurgency has begun. At the same there has also been a proliferation of Monsters in that region. The Army decide to drab in more numbers to help deal with this insurgency.


After a NASA deep space probe crash landed in Mexico, menacing extra-terrestrial life forms emerged. Now, so-called 'Infected Zones' have spread around the globe. With humanity in retreat in many parts of the world, the US is moving to protect its overseas interests. Giant, terrifying sand bugs infest the Arabian Desert, so troops have been sent in to firebomb the creatures, carting their bodies away on giant trucks to be incinerated. In this hostile environment, two soldiers are sent on a high-risk rescue mission.



Gareth Edwards' original Monsters was nominated for a BAFTA and led to him directing the recent Godzilla reboot. He returns as executive producer of this gripping continuation of the story. Monsters: Dark Continent is the directorial debut of another up and coming talented filmmaker, Tom Green, who shot much of the film on location in the extraordinary landscapes of Jordan.


RELEASE DATE TBC

Was expecting it to be an Entertainment Store exclusive
Problem with Entertainment Store with lot of previous pre order releases was UK shipping only that limited sales and most of their exclusives ended up been made available at a later stage from other retailers

I'm surprised Eone picked Hmv Ireland and Xtra-vision for an exclusive it would have been better option to pick Zavvi for an exclusive
As at the moment HMV only ship to UK/Ireland
If Hmv UK and HMV Ireland eventually start shipping worldwide then they would be a good option to use for an exclusive

Personally I think this steelbook will struggle to sell even if it was available from all retailers
 
Unfortunately shipping via the eBay Global Shipping Programme is always a big no-no for me. It might be feasible for some high-value items, but I haven't yet come across anything where it would make sense to me.

Item: £16.99, International Priority Shipping to Finland: £12.84 :pain::(

Hi there, we have just started to include international postage rates direct from our warehouse. Please check the listing in a couple of hours for revised prices, significantly cheaper than eBay shipping program. If anyone has any questions direct message me if we do not post to your country.
 
I ordered this through the ebay link and the delivery date is showing as Thursday 6th of August!! Surely this can't be right due to the Release date being 30th???
It's probably just an error in the listing. I'm sure It will be the 30th August as stated.

This title is more expensive than Jurassic World on the Eire sites...That must be a mistake surely :wow:
Personally I think HMV have upped the prices for the movies they'll struggle to sell a lot of of.

They'll have no problem shifting a lot of copies of Jurassic World at a consistent price, but I think they're trying to get as much from preorders for this and Fantastic 4 before they have a huge price crash.
