Looks like another Pan-European Warner Bros release. Expect to see Amazon.de and Zavvi "exclusives" in the coming weeks.
 
I don't know if it will be shared with UK and Germany because above the title it says "William Wyler présente" instead of "William Wyler presents" (shared WB releases have English writing everywhere minus j-card). :thumbs:

It still has time to change but it looks like a final mockup, so for now we could assume it may be a release exclusive to France. ;)

Classy-looking steelbook bound to have epic embossing too, it'd be a shame if it didn't.
 
Not sure what his pose is...did he just steal a hub cap off a chariot and is trying to lie low?
 
I might get this but not until after I see actual photos/videos and will also wait for a price drop

It's a fantastic film and Amazing Blu-ray picture quality

I already have the
USA 3 discs
50th Anniversary deluxe box set with fantastic book and Heston journal

3 Discs
Diamond Luxe Edition

UK
2 Discs Steelbook

The French steelbook is 2 discs
Film is split over the 2 discs
It does not have the extras disc which is a shame

It don't bother me not having the extras disc as I already have it from the USA release

If extras are important to anyone and they not already got this on Blu-ray
I would recommend getting one of the 3 discs versions as the extras are very good

Pretty classy looking art and nice colour scheme! This could turn out great with the right finish... hopefully they don't mess that up.

As for the film... I still need to check it out. Will have to dig my UK steelbook out and give it a watch before I consider buying this one.
