Easy pass for me. Artwork same as the previous releases and won't match the other two parts if Zavvis Blade trilogy.

Happy with my Japanese trilogy.

Enthusasiasm for this will probably fade when Zavvi charge €24.99 for a 20 yr old film!!

I wish @zavvi could get a Blu-ray exclusive like Danny Boyle's Millions. Love that film, saddens me it's not on Blu-ray anywhere in the world. So a Steelbook release would just add to the awesomeness. Would pre-order in a heartbeat.

I like the art, not so much the actor names.

I bought the Japanese steelbook years ago, but it's nice for those that don't have that or the Canadian one.

@carllenc @Collector03601 is there any plan for Blade for FAC treatment? I would love to see that and dont want to double dip on the same steel...

Hoping this matchs with the other two release.

Same cover as the old Canadian Alliance steelbook (the one with the incorrect aspect ratio)

What's the aspect ratio? I believe it's region locked, so I've never been able to check myself.

The CA release is 1.78 : 1 (OAR is 2.35 : 1)

The CA release is 1.78 : 1

Hmm... another reason for me to pick this one up then (assuming it has the correct AR)

Thanks for the info!

 

[Tacozilla]

finally...hopefully it isn't such a long wait for this one as the other 2 were.

Never will, Blade is with WB these days the other two were EV releases.

It's 2.35:1 scope.
Alliance steelbook version hacked it to 1.85:1
(Alliance was making blu rays from transfers intended for Cable TV showings.)

Alliance steelbook version hacked it to 1.85:1

Not that it matters a great deal (ruined is ruined), but both Alliance's amaray release from 2009-06-02 and the steelbook release from 2011-05-31 specify 1.78 : 1 on the back cover. Did they get that wrong, too?

Maybe it was 1.78.....
Doesn't matter
Wrong is wrong!
(And it looked like sh*t)! I got it just for the steelbook and swapped out the disc

I hope the artwork ist not final. Its not bad, but I prefer this artwork (with a debossed title):

 

[chingie123]

any info about preorder or release ????

 

[Butz2k]

Or maybe, to match the other 2 Zavvi releases it would look better in this colour?

His photoshopped head is too small.
