The Shawshank Redemption (Blu-ray SteelBook) [UK]
- Thread starter snooloui
- Start date
Very close to been the same as previous UK steelbook
No title this time on front artwork
I assume does not include DVD's compared to previous steelbook

Hmm yeah, the artwork is too similar to the previous UK steelbook (although the image looks sharper here and is scaled much better), and the lack of a title looks odd.
An unnecessary release IMO... the old Canadian/US one remains my favourite.

Would need a really nice exclusive with slip and goodies to upgrade from my digibook.
Surprise surprise, another re release of a movie that’s already had the steel treatment and has released a near identical version.
This movie is an all time classic and deserves to be released in a very special premium with a WEA steel. But you just know the likes of FA and maybe others, are going to cash in on it and tart it up, and it will sell, but I would prefer an ultimate edition of this really.
Another steel I wont be duped with until it gets the treatment it deserves.
Oh yeah, at best this will be flat and matte with maybe some spot glossing. Sigh.....

FA announced they were doing this 2 years ago....along with like 5 other titles they have ignored.
Ah yes I remember now, feel a predator, fight club scenario coming on.... for gods sake!
Ordered for now as I don’t have this in a Steelbook but will cancel if a premium release is announced
Whatever price Zavvi puts on this steelbook it sure ain't gonna be 25 quid . . . most likely the new 'right price' of £17.99?
As for the Amazon price of £25 for a 1-disc release: "not impressed" best sums it up.
Clearly ITV Studios don't believe in their steelbook releases having anything in common style-wise but that's cool … not as if the films have much in common either and anyway their steelbooks are quality… and, yes, really nice steelbook the first one from six years ago but would've been even nicer to have some different art here - at least on the front … and definitely inside (lol):-

As for the inside artwork: what about two of the poster babes … instead of this … ? After all, the book was entitled "Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption"...
OK, Raquel should be all technicolour … and that famous fur lined deer skin bikini is just so iconic … but still reminds me of the equally iconic fur lined teacup aka 'Object in Fur' (1936):-

Amazon price will drop before release date
They list RRP first then before release date list selling price
Amazon will also likely match or better Hmv price
Amazon pre order price promise will give you lowest price they list after you pre order
Likely just be 1 Disc
Blu-ray
Previous Steelbook was 1 Blu-ray and 3 DVD's
Blu-ray has Film and extras on 1 Disc
DVD was
DVD Disc Film and 2 DVD's of extras
Blu-ray has same extras that was on the DVD'S
It's up on HMV for £17.99. I can probably see Amazon dropping it to that soonish.

I wondered why there were three DVDs, the Blu-ray has all of that content? Very nice!
