I went through the email on 'price drops, sold out' - worked for me.

@cheetah Any chance of posting the link from your email on here buddy? I also don't seem to have that email.

 

[cheetah]

Ah. You have to go through the email links for those to work, and I didn't get that email!

I didn't get the email either but found it on the Price drops, sold out thread, posted by Ronnie3067, just click on the big green Zavvi bit on there, that is what I did. Hope it works for you.

love this film hoping it gets finished in gloss and the title is embossed that would look wicked

This is going to have the same cheap finish as One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest isn't it???

Hopefully not, Warner have been known to use gloss. They really need to do it for this one.

Apart from which, it's also a fantastic film, as effective today as it was when first released some 47 years ago!

I was fortunate to see it again on the big screen last autumn, during its limited re-release as part of the BFI's "Sci-Fi: Days of Fear and Wonder" season. The auditorium was packed and at the end, there was a burst of spontaneous applause from the audience.

It was also fascinating to see where Christopher Nolan had got most of his ideas for "Interstellar" from. If only Nolan had taken a further leaf from Kubrick and given his own film a more mysterious and thought provoking ending, instead of trying to tie up all the loose ends, he would have had a better film on his hands.

I'll certainly be upgrading my Amaray copy with the new Steelbook but I've opted for the French release which is somewhat cheaper at only EUR 14.99.

Not to be a nitpicker @augustus- but Jonathan Nolan's INTERSTELLAR was long (2 years) in development with Steven Spielberg's company before his brother took it over. Of course, Chris Nolan is hugely influenced by 2001 (and says so, in no uncertain terms), but the original blueprint should be attributed to Jonathan Nolan.
I may agree with you about the ending- I need a few more viewings first.

We won't know answer to that until someone gets steelbook in hand

Some Warner Steelbooks are High Gloss and Look Great
Some are poor with low image used and washed out image especially on the back of a steelbook

I'm guessing but I expect this one will be a high quality image and be a gloss finish

@augustus, thanks. Just ordered it from Amazon.fr for €15 and bundled it with my Insomnia
