I like the art used on the front a lot more than the back, but they both suit the style of the film.
Like many others, I already own the kimchi release so I'll be giving this a miss.

A surprising and welcome change of art for this catalogue release, looking forward to this

 

[goufcustom]

I don't think that can beat Kimchi's...

 

[toonminator]

Like it! Minor complant: I always prefer 1 image across the whole of the inside. But not bad at all!

 

[steelbobawny]

I like it, It's creative, the front uses certain elements of the film in it, just look at those clouds too, I've seen the back image before but not ripped and nice inside artwork, certainly different to what is available at the moment.

 

[Flloydo]

I can't believe this is 15 years old!!!!!
Where does the time go!!!!

 

[bigfub]

Never seen the film but I think I ought to and I like the art too

 

[Maximus15]

I think Zavvi have hired a new graphic designer as the recent catalogue release have all had similar art? Does anyone think this is the case?

 

[Aw 83]

Although I have the Kimchi edition don't mind adding this into the collection to. The front artwork is impressive and stands out overall very nice.

Looks like the "Better call Saul" steelbook. Makes a nice hybrid "Amelie call Saul!"

 

[bobino66]

Nice art , I'll order it by my love for this film

 

[IRON MAN]

Pretty cool artwork. I won't double dip on this one but curious to see the end result.

The art reminds me a little of Laurent Durieux though I dont think its him. Off topic perhaps, but if you like this style and alternative movie posters you might find his stuff worth a look https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=laurent+durieux&biw=1217&bih=753&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjHvKyKkt7KAhUFUBQKHY5pCt0QsAQILg .

[Aw 83]

These are way too stylized and detailed to be Pop Art crap. I would say they're much more like Mondo's stuff.

No
Zavvi don't do any Artwork design but do give suggestions to Film Studios from artwork that already available as in existing artwork and sometimes the film studio use these suggestions

This is what Zavvi officially say in regards to artwork
Final say on artwork, though, is with the studios themselves and no design work is done by us

It's an ENTERTAINMENT One Release

ok so is that just a business decision by Zavvi? e.g they don't want to spend the time and money on creating their own art? Like the other much smaller retailers that we all love do?

^^This. I love the film - always have - and love the art.

Is this Sold Out Sold Out or Not Live Yet Sold Out?

Note: They *REALLY* need to change that on their site - they must turn away so many people thinking they have missed the boat.
