Just finished watching this and thought it was really good, so will definitely be in for the GB.

IMO it's one of those films that I really wouldn't risk a blind-buy on though (unless you're just buying it for the package rather than the film) as some people will love it but others will absolutely hate it.

2000 numbered / 2000 non numbered. ?? Maybe? Still WEA art...

2000 numbered / 2000 non numbered. ?? Maybe?

I'd have thought they'd make more money out of having them all as numbered editions, personally.

So is this not part of the Film Arena collection then? Like no full slip or anything? Very brave of them to do 4000. No numbering or anything I would imagine. Shame I've started to go off it now

Numbered = part of the film arena collection. All the other goodies will be announced later.

Yes it is Part of the Film Arena Collection, as @Jospef stated they released only the WEA artwork of the Steelbook that will be part of the FAC Exclusive package. It will be a Numbered Edition that will come with a numbering silver sticker for the WEA FullSlip and a Numbering card as well for the back as usual, for the rest of the Bonus Items, they will be revealed when the BeautyShot is ready. But Karel sometimes gets the information as a simple list(no pictures) in advance as to what it will contain but that is not a certainty... but to view the final Product indeed as soon as Film Arena will be ready to reveal their BeautyShot, they will

You obviously know the extras, so spill the beans

If ever I hold certain informations at times (and I am not saying I do for this one), I can only reveal once I am told it is ok to do so. Things can change and this could cause issues.
So I need to let it become official first, but to be honest as soon as film arena confirms an information, Karel posts it in a Flash.

4k copies might mean they'll have multiple editions like Asian releases. 2k full 2k lenticular slip for example. January 2016 is far off so there is still time for FA to grow ever more popular.

Curious Noob question. What region will this be?

Release date not confirmed on FA website, but Karel has stated in OP September/October type of release...FA will surely update the release date shortly at one point.

from what @Jospef stated they have the exclusive rights of the WEA until january 2016, it means after that if another retailer wants to use this artwork as a steelbook at that point they will have the right to do so.

 

[jacobsever]

Oh cool! I can actually utilize my FAC number on this one!

Even though the shipping is cheaper via GB...

 

[aj101097]

finally gave this a watch...glad i did. Good movie with some great performances...Keaton, Amy Adams, Emma Stone & really loved Norton...but it's not a movie i'd ever watch again. I'll give this FA steel a pass.

You mean, Naomi Watts?

 

[aj101097]

no...actually meant Amy Ryan....& yes Naomi Watts was great as she always is.

 

[TheStixter]

Gosh....no replay value for me...was odd the first time watching...this will have to be the first Czech full-slip I'll have to pass on

 

[Sampy]

Can you somehow get an emailnotification as soon as it comes available for pre-order?

Orrr just keep a keen eye on this website?

edit: whoops, just noticed the lifesize sign that says 'watch'

So you're saying Elektra has more replay value?

 

[AlienKing]

4k? wow, that's a brave and self-confident move by filmarena.

4000 ? wow
too much imo.

4k copies might mean they'll have multiple editions like Asian releases. 2k full 2k lenticular slip for example. January 2016 is far off so there is still time for FA to grow ever more popular.

Yea 4000 is a lot of copies. Especially for a movie like this. But like nicblue said this might be their first multiple editions release. I know about John Wick and Commando, but they were both full slips. This might have full slip, lenti, and even a quarter slip. Even so, it is still a brave move by FA since they will lose the WEA by January 2016.

 

[MrBMT]

This might have full slip, lenti, and even a quarter slip.

Would be an odd move to start releasing lentis as separate releases at this stage considering whenever they've provided lentis they've been with the full slips in the past.
1/4 slip is a potential option I could see them doing. Or perhaps different goodies with the different releases like they did with the John Wick Angel & Devil editions.

Yes it would be odd, but personally, I found the way they package their lentis to be useless. I know some collectors might open the package and place the lenti on top of their full slip. But then that would make the full slip useless. So even though it may be odd, I think it's a possibility.
Also, yes, something like the Angel/Devil editions are highly possible.
