Here's something that's made me very happy. From the PR company -

Latest update from Zavvi

Still waiting on finalised artwork.

The finishes are overall matte varnish, except for a spot UV gloss on Mark and Dwayne on the front cover.

There’s a pantone red on their names on the front cover, and emboss on the title treatment.

Confirmed as 1000 units only and from the traffic and questions we are getting, think this will only last a couple of days at the most before selling out.

Horrorable Movie...easy pass for me...:movie:

 

[karl01]

dont believe it will be 1000

 

[BDDB]

Film was quite good but if it is like the US version don't expect any extras at all.

 

[SaberTooth]

Kermode just voices his opinion, and in my opinion he's wrong most of the time

i think he does a fairly decent job most of the time - he loved The Dark Knight for example - but he might seem a bit too PC sometimes. i cant really say as i havent seen too many of his reviews recently, but he does think The Exorcist is the best movie of all time, which i really respect

I'll never say someone is wrong for voicing their opinion as everyone is entitled to it, it's just the way he drones on and on and on about something that does my head in. And I find he's one of these reviewers that if a movie is made and not meant to be taken seriously and is just a simple switch-your-brain-off and enjoy type movie he immediately doesn't like it. I find him quite arrogant too.... but that's just me

But lets keep on topic :movie:

 

[hoppusdelonge]

Mark Kermode (sp?) really hated this film - he used words like "offensive" and "disgusting" during his bbc tv review lol

I wouldn't really listen to critics on this, it's mostly a comedy so if you enjoy Bay's earlier films then you're likely to enjoy this. Personally I thought it was a surprising return to the fun of Bad Boys

 

[Zero]

I haven´t seen the movie yet + limited to 1000 sounds good! I might have to pick one up

 

[Jnavotheman]

At least I know I will be saving money with this movie, easy pass :movie:

Just saw that the Print run is 1000? so this is actually gonna be valuable which is sad

 

[Sigill]

Not a fan of Michael Bay's films so a pass for me. Interesting to see only a 1000 being produced though.

 

[yeslek]

Agree, but I think a better solution wld be better film selection, multiple discs and higher quality finishing :movie:

+1

 

[Drum18]

Please... a good price... PLEASE!!!
Would be a blind buy for me!!!

 

[yeslek]

wanting to avoid zavvi but this movie was surprisingly, extremely enjoyable for me so such a limited run is tempting...

 

[crazytaxinext]

A 1000 run sounds right, any higher and I reckon this would struggle so the limited nature will keep it shifting. The film was alright to sit through, some good performances and different from other recent films. Wouldn't want to see it twice though so an easy miss for me.

Bit surprised ES didn't get this since they have a deal with Paramount. Can only assume they passed on it because only 1k would be available. Will definitely be getting one of these though.

I'm glad ES didn't get this! Zavvi may actually (and hopefully) be cheaper

 

[Jb162009]

This is a shock. I enjoy the rock films so if the price is good ill get this.

 

[Thisisnotsparta]

I see your point, but given some of Zavvis prices for much larger quantity steels, I can see the price jumping for something this limited.

I think the 1k print run is forcing a lot of peoples hands into getting it because everyone is chasing the Exclusive titles now. So many will get this based on its 1k print run rather then how good the movie actually is

Regardless of how good the movie is or how many are released, there are always those that will buy just because of the quantity run announced. There is only one way to completely prove that there are only 1000 printed and that would be to have them individually numbered, otherwise no one will know how many were produced. They could state that 500 were made and release 1500. If no one specifically can get them all in one place, here is no way to prove anything.

Hell Yeah!
