[Hamill82]

This gave me nightmares as a kid. Maybe I have caulrophobia, since I feel really uncomfortable seeing clowns even nowadays, I just hate them, gives me the creeps! It's been years since I saw this.

 

[Justin Rudio]

Any news when this will go live? @paulboland

No news yet it's not listed to go live this weekend so far
I will take a guess next weekend Sat 8th or Sun 9th

If I hear anything official I will post info in the thread

Hmm I've just noticed the steelbook is 192mins but the normal bluray is 180mins

I think the 180 mins run time is an error. The BBFC classified it again recently, listing it at 187 mins. Baring in mind that's probably the DVD with the usual PAL speed-up logic applied. However both releases are the same duration.

UK version, I'm in.
Now for Zavvi to pick up Christine also.

RE: CHRISTINE - soon available in smart Criterion style clear white plastic packaging (along with about half-a-dozen other interesting - for me - titles which I've pre-ordered (Powerhouse Films Indicator Series) and thinking that a steelbook may be a long time a comin' . . . alas.

RE: IT (Amaray) - pre-ordered from HMV a few days ago as one of their "5 for GBP 30" promotion (dispatched to me today) as I've never watched it and if I like it I'll be ordering this very good looking steelbook at some point (loving those strong colours which should make for a very dramatic steelbook front . . . if glossy ).

RE: RUNTIME - The 5 minute discrepancy is reportedly down to the fact that both parts were merged into one film and part of the end credits for part one and opening credits for part two were removed, along with a couple of scenes of the adult characters arriving in Derry. In total, about five minutes cut out bringing the runtime down from 192 to 187 mins so I'm guessing the correct runtime for the film should read 187 approx.

RE: IT AMARAY RELEASE ARTWORK - No mention in the listings of a slipcover here in the U.K. (and for 6 quid not really complaining tbh) with the art for that edition taken directly from one of the original posters which some may prefer - I personally prefer the big head artwork for the steelbook especially if glossy to make the colours "pop":-

@C.C. 95 - you guys in The States are usually more fortunate than us in the U.K. with slipcovers and was wondering if your recently released Amaray comes with one ?

If the amaray has better art than the (not good) steelbook art - I'll go with the amaray with the clear slip.

Amaray with clear slip?

 

[C.C. 95]

Amaray with clear slip?

Clear slips often have writing or designs that overlay the images on the amaray/steelbook...

Stephen King's It UK amaray is just the standard blu-ray case

Christine from Powerhouse Films is a clear blu-ray case like the ones Arrow Video use it's not a slip

Yes, I know that

But where are you seeing this? Is it Christine you're talking about or It?

 

[virkia]

CHRISTINE does not come with a slipcover and looks to me to have the same style of case as used on such releases from Argent Films as DJANGO, SALON KITTY, 8 1/2 and THE BATTLE OF ALGIERS or releases from 88 Films such as HEX, FIVE ELEMENTS NINJAS, HOUSE OF TRAPS, BLACK MAGIC and STONE COLD).

Yes, I know that

But where are you seeing this? Is it Christine you're talking about or It?

I guess I misunderstood what was meant by "clear white slip" in the description.
