My favourite film from 2014. Cannae wait to purchase a steelbook version of it

For those who haven't seen it, here's a funky little review containing some info - "The Guest expertly blends everything from Terminator to Halloween to Drive."

Totally agree, one of my favourite movies of the year! High hopes for a steelbook.

Heh I was just thinking earlier today based on its Dec 29th date - hope it gets a steelbook release. Very funny and entertaining flick.

something like this with gloss would be dandy.

Fantastic film, has the potential to be made into a really nice steelbook as well

 

[nekromantik]

I've heard great things about this.
Need to watch it!

According to the PR company handling the release (whom I work with for reviews) do not know of a steelbook release at the moment. However, the release date is the end of December so there is still time.

Not seen the film but see the trailer on the cold in July blu Ray and looks ok. Really like that art tho. Looks amazing

 

[lolwut]

I really want to see this.

Really enjoyed this film, so a steelbook will be a must buy for me

If we do get one I do hope its handled by Entertainment Store or HMV, otherwise I fear it might just be the same artwork as the amaray. Which can be fine but if you're going to steelbook it you may as well push the boat out a bit more.

I would agree with you up to a point, but can think of 3 recent releases where the amaray design has outclassed the steelbook design:

-Enter The Dragon
-Lethal Weapon
-Guardians of the Galaxy (subject to whether or not you like this design, but personally I prefer the 3D Blu-ray cover)

Hell, even Training Day managed to look worse on steelbook than the original DVD/Blu-ray design- Same image, but in black and white?? Ugh...

Feel a bit more cautious when hearing about upcoming releases now after the recent run of uninspired releases we've been 'treated' to...

If the design for this is good though, think I might well be in for it- Heard nothing but good things about the film and slightly gutted I missed it at the cinema.

Also, don't think the distributors have any say whatsoever in the design process so wouldn't matter too much who got their hands on this release if we are to see a steelbook release.
For the record, did you see the movie? If so, thoughts??

The artwork is ok but I loved the film so im in

 

[Noodles]

I'm yet to see the film, but it looks right up my street and reviews already have me sold, so I'll happily blind-buy this (if the price is right).

 

[dannywizkid]

The soundtrack alone is ace

 

[Hooch]

Never heard of it, but the trailer looked just fine!
