@virkia - This one IMO :

Yes, looks good . . . if there were only less text and no "Blu-ray" logo on the front definite contender for 'Best in show'.

" Laurent Durieux beautiful work takes poster art to a high level. The images, which are stunningly executed, express ideas and themes of the movies he has chosen in new terms. They communicate much without words, and stand alongside the wonderful tradition of illustrative art."

Looking more red than pink in this mock-up ...

... although the green would have made for an interesting option (as well as the red):-

I ordered the standard Blu ray steel from Amazon Germany and just got an email through saying the release has been delayed until September. Any signs Zavvi will do the same?

 

[kingkarl1967]

Wish this was released last week so I could have it signed by the legendary Martin Sheen this weekend.

will this edition still be four discs as the standard edition is 6 discs?

IMO yes.

But if you are missing something, it's only normal blu-ray versions of the films. As opposite to UHD.

Steelbook will be the same 6 discs
2 UHD Discs and 4 Blu-ray Discs

Disc 1: UHD Final cut
Disc 2: UHD Redux + theatrical
Disc 3: Blu-ray Final Cut
Disc 4: Blu-ray Redux + theatrical
Disc 5: Blu-ray Bonus
Disc 6: Blu-ray Hearts of Darkness


Zavvi just not updated the steelbook listing on their website

 

[karl01]

Can six discs fit in a standard steelbook?

 

[paulboland]

Can six discs fit in a standard steelbook?

Yes using deeper hub you can stack 3 discs each side

Lot's of 6 disc steelbooks releases in past few years have deeper hub and means a jumbo steelbook is not required

Gonna wait on this one but curious to see what it looks like in live photos

I hope and expect will be gloss finish as a lot of studiocanal releases have been but that won't be known for sure until someone gets delivery
It better not be a matte finish as this artwork needs gloss finish

I have steelbook on pre order and also amaray collectors edition

 

[kingkarl1967]

Can not wait for this bad boy ... it was only a week ago I met Martin Sheen and had this bad boy canvas signed.
It was a memory I will never forget CAPTAIN WILLARD.

 

[virkia]

Yes, while they're now able to space save by fitting 6 and 7 discs - maybe even 8 - in a regular size steelbook one wonders at the logic of some of these bloated premium slips which unnecessarily take up valuable shelf space.

Hmmm. Not a big fan of those multi-disc spindles (although I admit they're better than jumbo's). Will cross my fingers and wait for a decent price drop on this one.

Never had the chance to see this on the big screen, would be very interesting.

Just curious - given the length of the film - any intermissions built in to that showing?
