If Zavvi do read these threads, then I really wish they'd have a look at the Jungle Book or Pines threads, or the spine splash/damage thread. You know, the stuff that matters.

Using the title would be okay.....if they used the title!

It's 12. Always has been 12! I gotta think this will be fixed, otherwise there is the cancel button

What do you think the thread: Instances of Zavvi spine slashes-please post pics, details is for?

Zavvi are now using this picture with the text added:

Good! Don't like them without the title on the front....almost as much as I hate horizontal steelbooks.

Another goodie...

Wrong name, bad font and backwards artwork. Love the movie but I'll be keeping my stickerbook

I don't believe I commented before. I was happy with the steelbook, and had it in my shopping basket (hadn't gone as far as a pre-order). The newly added title looks all wrong. The typeface, the position, and as others have said the fact that the movie is called '12 Monkeys'; I shake my head and sigh.

I expect a 'Three Hundred' steelbook to be announced shortly.

The movie is known as 'Twelve Monkeys' in the UK. As for your sarcastic last sentence, that's unlikely as the title of '300' is just that in the UK

If I was I would change Pan's Labyrinth for a start

 

[Scarface]

Pan's Labyrinth has great artwork imo and I know a lot of others feel the same, a steelbook doesn't have to have the same sort of boring matching art on front and back all the time, I can understand wanting to change a steelbook if it looks something like Armageddon which is completely plain and awful looking, but to want to change artwork like this just because u don't think the art on front and back goes together is a bit selfish imo, plenty of people like it that's all that should matter, even if its 50/50 split it should be left as it was and only should be changed if its massively a one sided opinion on it. 12 monkeys looks fine to me also with or without the title, not everyone is going to agree on what a steelbook should look like but there is way too many fussy people on here, we should just be happy there is a decent looking steelbook for a great movie and move on

I just watched the opening credits; it's "Twelve Monkeys", not "12 Monkeys".

Always been Twelve in the UK... even the last few releases have this...

Movie snapshot:

I always thought this is 12 Monkeys. When you search for it in RT the title says Twelve Monkeys when the poster says 12 Monkeys. Maybe Zavvi had a reason not to include the title on the artwork.
It's awkward for me to see the Steelbook as Twelve Monkeys though. And that Roman font is not helping.

 

[Deleted member 9789]

Its the same font used as previous UK releases too...

No complaints with the inside art. Thought they might have gone with the giraffes to brighten it up though.

Cancelled for now. I'm afraid they're going to serve up a very dull matte black steelbook akin to what they've being do lately. I hope I'm wrong and they knock it out the park with a lovely glossy embossed steelbook. Will be Instant purchase then.

Same as Kron. As much as I love this movie, I'm fed up of dull matte black steelbooks. Same with the game.

Can somebody at HDN find out via the contact please. Cheers
