Hey guys, any news about this title?

I think i heard from a couple people on this board that Plain archive is now just focusing on books and moving away from blu rays. Big mistake IMO, but I wouldn't count on this release anytime soon if at all

I hope they at least release just the steel, since they already had a physical mockup of it back in June. As long as they have the rights to the title, they could do a run of the steels and be done, even if they don't do the whole package. It's no surprise when a company takes preorders before they show any images at all, but when a company already has a video of the actual item, and then total silence? That's confusing.

I messaged PA couple days ago to ask them what is going on with this release and no response yet

 

[ethnosax]

I'd like dibs on that steelbook mockup they made. We know that at least that one exists.

 

[MrSquifler]

I still want to know what's happening with PAs release of The Little Drummer Girl.

Such a downer about PA. Was really looking forward to this. Stunning art. I really hope they still release this and little drummer girl before they fully transition to just books and screenplays

Or both! A Monster Calls would be a perfect steelbook-plus-book/screenplay set. As a big fan of published screenplays and art-of movie books, I'd be into a new niche that has a steelbook plus a book.

That's a great idea. I never see the point in buying just a screenplay (while I do like actually reading and studying them) but if it comes in a nice premium package I'd buy it instantly. The big majority of films released by PA have great screenplays.

Books are fine with me, especially the art of the movie styles like you mention. Plus that works with a monster calls. I imagine there’s some amazing pre production illustrated visions. But I’m not bothered for screenplays.
For me I’d rather they keep them out to save costs. However, they can always do a version with all that like they have with some previous releases. I think fox catcher had about 6 different versions lol

For anybody who likes A Monster Calls, I highly recommend the book The Art and Vision Behind the Film, which is a combination of "Art of" and the screenplay. In this case, the screenplay is especially interesting because it was written by Patrick Ness, who wrote the original novel. Some interesting comments from him on what that process was like, and why he made the changes he did from book to screenplay.

I think they did something like that recently with Believer, a boxset of some sorts, just like the Kimchi wind river special boxset. I love those kind of editions, would love to see PA do more of that. The Believer box looks cool but it's an Asian B-Movie so I have no interest in buying it

/me still waiting for The Florida Project...

 

[Sampy]

This sounds like really sad news...

 

[toratora]

Not sure how you defined B movie but believe me that Believer is a B movie not

Well maybe I shouldn't have said that as I haven't seen it, but I have heard nothing but mediocre things about that, the original is way better apparently.
