I'm in. Show us the art. Hopefully it'll be the same white finish as the recent other two.
I've been waiting for this and One Flew Over.

Happy they're both on the way.
Unhappy there's no art for either yet.

Bloomin Muppets.

Very Funny Lol GIF

Hopefully this won't have the same cheap finish as Clockwork Orange and FMJ that peels off with the glue/rating stickers.
Yup, I'm concerned about that as well. It was a shame as that satin finish was really nice. I do wish they would stick those bloody stickers on the shrink wrap.

Yeah, I'm a big fan of the satin and spot gloss combo... never had any issues with that kind of finish before, so god knows what they did differently this time around. Been saying it for years, but there's literally no need to glue/stick anything directly on to the steelbook itself.

I think Paramount used that same finish on the UK Steelbook PET slip for The Crow. The sticker on that one took the finish off in the same way. Agree about there being absolutely no need to stick anything adhesive to any premium item. One of the worst examples of that for me was Warner on the UK UHD Digibooks for Batman Begins, The Dark Knight and The Dark Knight Rises. If you remember they had a very delicate black felt like finish and talking the stickers off left a discolouration. Beautiful Digibooks but totally impractical finish to put on them in the first place.
 
I think the worst offender I've seen is Sound of Freedom, they didn't shrinkwrap it and instead stuck a great big round bit of tape over the opening but the finish is really fragile so good luck to anyone trying to open them intact.
 
Damn, I really wish it would have been something else. The minimalistic Kubrick art has been really overused imo. I'd rather get the Criterion edition with that art than the steelbook.
