This is interesting...

 

[Hooch]

Got the Shout one, but still fantastic news

 

[Bluprint]

Say WHATTTT?

Only recently bought the Australian release so hopefully this will have some decent extras so i can justify a re-purchase

 

[denizen]

Oh yes! An instant buy!

I really hope this has good artwork, when are they going to get that film fans usually prefer the classic one sheet artwork rather than some 'abstract' arty take of the film. So sick of getting excited for steels lately and then them coming out with some minimalistic arty cr*p for the artwork (house of flying daggers, legend and speed spring to mind). Big trouble in little China is for me the stand out example of how to do a high end steelbook that film fans will love. New and shiny, yet totally eighties and true to the film AND the era the fans love.
This is a classic movie, it needs either the classic movie artwork from the one sheet or the vintage style new art that shout factory used. If this comes out as a red steelbook with a Warhol art print style pair of 3d glasses plonked in the middle it will be an epic fail.

Must be in the minority of people that didn't enjoy this film? Steelbook art could be great for this one though

I'm a fan and I don't care if they use the original artwork poster as the art. I hope it just looks good.

Seen this movie once ages ago and really liked it, though i'm surprised its getting a steelbook release i have to say …thought the ”conspiracy theories" contained within wld be too challenging to the average viewer

Hope they dont mess up the art, otherwise i'm in

Here's what I think it'll look like...

 

[monterock]

The Blu-ray was originally due to be released in the UK but got cancelled

I gather they sorted this and I presume this will be a Studio Canal release

I probably wont be getting this, reason?

"You, you're okay. This one: real fuckin' ugly."

Awesome movie. Cant wait to see the artwork.

Now bring on Escape from New York too.

 

[wozbit]

This will be mine. Fantastic news

 

[Milto]

Any guesses as to when this baby's going live?

 

[severo]

great news, love the soundtrack (actually love all carpenter soundtracks). i will definitely get this at some point!

 

[Hooch]

Yeah..."OBEY" should be in it somewhere. On my Shout Factory release I have the "BUY" sticker on the slipcover.

I know a few people who didn't get the reference with the BUY sticker, and took it off.

 

[Robsonmonkey]

I hope it has the same kind of vibe as the Big Trouble in Little China one

 

[justhedudeman]

I hope Roddy Piper is in the artwork.
