I have to admit that is an astonishingly striking image. Really does grab you.

They shared it on their social media accounts...

btw theyre saying that the release is getting postponed due to the frame not being printed in the exact center

Fair call too. This looks gorgeous, and for the money they're asking it should be perfect.

 

[digitalbabe]

That looks nice, wonder what’s inside.

Ah, didn't realise it was anything important. Thanks for sharing! Honesty, it looks fine to me though... still, it's good to know they take pride in their products and want it to be perfect.

I suspect they know people are going to try and compare it to the Criterion pressing and that can be very very annoying for a lot of companies especially when you get the likes of BR.com who think everything Criterion do is wonderful and all other labels are the lesser product. So they probably don't want any unwarranted problems flagged up to distract from their pressing. and I can't really blame them for being paranoid in that respect.

I'm trying to discover what could conceivably encompass "3 bonus Blu-ray discs" but have had little success.
Has anyone had better luck?
I may purchase regardless and discover the hard way but foreknowledge is always helpful...

The numbered Ultimate Edition will feature the regular mediabook and probably a separate digipack like they did with Oldboy (also same size) for the extra discs. There may be more special features on the discs as have been announced yet, so this is still TBC.

Frankenstein Complex is supposed to be OmeU (English subtitles) according to Amazon. However, Amazon often lists false information, so it's not confirmed or anything.

 

[Lollard2002]

Ok

 

[kryptonite]

tempting...

 

[IRON MAN]

Looking forward to this.

 

[Lollard2002]

I just have this feeling that this is the one to get if you have to have only one edition. This is it........Just hope the packaging is sturdy for the trip across Europe...

And for those who can't see the above.

It's the original motion picture soundtrack that will be included in this edition.

 

[C.C. 95]

What is the possessive format for German? (Since no apostrophe)
Btw- why is the "R" in Labyrinth so messed up? (Or is it meant to be that way?)

 

[spass]

Awesome!

 

[Hewitt89]

This looks really nice.

 

[Lollard2002]

With this and season 3 of Murder She Wrote coming out on bu-ray at the same time, I'm one happy camper........
