Yet again I see the need to bring up the fact that poster art is nearly ALWAYS better. Please stop dismissing poster art in favour of this pretentious crap.

Ah who am I kidding, the people that make these decisions aren't reading this

Exactly!!!. Poster art ftw. Maybe the studios had some issues with rights and whatnot on the original artwork or something idk but Im sure 9/10 customers would like this better. Only took me 10 min to whip it up in photoshop.

Put the back on the front and instant purchase.

I was thinking the same thing.......

Personally, and I'm not saying anyone is wrong, but I don't really see the merit in just having the poster slapped on metal because I might as well just buy the amaray which will invariably come with it on.

I don't mind this artwork too much, but I wouldn't buy it full price.

Bet the person who designed this was also responsible for Wolf of wall street and the hangover trilogy.

Are you basing that on the dollar signs?

Sorry, but it's steelbooks like these that tick me off the most. That front image is the same one used on the Amaray and DVD case. I like my steelbooks to be something special - not just a more expensive, more fragile version of what's typically available. I think the design they're going with looks awesome.

This with a high gloss finish would be perfect, with maybe a debossed title perhaps....

At least this artwork is a bit different to every other Blu-ray cover of this film that I've seen which shows the same gaggle of people in the same stance.
Never going to win any prizes though I'm afraid to say no matter how good the finish is or even if it's embossed or debossed to death.

 

[Last Lizard]

Garbage film and garbage art. Perfectly balanced!

 

[cooey]

With the right finish I think it would look pretty good

Done.

 

[psychoscot]

Done.

Now that right there is the DEFINITIVE steelbook for this film. Anything less than that is not acceptable

 

[virkia]

Mamma mia che bella regazza.

 

[Jb162009]

With Silver linings playbook steelbook art getting changed hopefully this is next.

 

[blackbird81]

I hope not. This art is different from the standard art we've seen for this film and with the right finish it would look great I think.

 

[runk0002]

it is like the american flag but they put the title on the wrong side

 

[severo]

i'm gonna buy this

dare I say it...(boobs)

Looks like a companion piece to the Wolf of Wall Street UK steelbook.

...and that's why I love it so much.

Loved those two movies and must have seen then, 2-3 times each at the cinema (thank you Cineworld card!)
