HOW
And can I order one?

You would have to sacrifice the lenti from the DVD version if you want one.

That is seriously COOL!

Is that generally available?

I picked it up for under $4 shipped here from a US seller on ebay. I'll give the unopened DVD to my bro in-law or girlfriend cuz I really don't need it.

I already have the US version of this title in the lenticular slipcover & Amray case, so no, I have no good reason to open the steelbook (other than curiosity). I assume it is more valuable sealed. As for which disc is in it, I received this note from "thekingpin22uk"...

"i bought it after the recall, and was told this had the fix disc inside."

So who knows.

I bought mine instore from my local HMV, they just sold the sealed case &gave you an extra disc seperately from behind the counter. They said it was easier than opening all the stock, so I have a sealed copy with faulty disc inside & the replacement disc in a plastic wallet.

That's what I call a great deal! Well done

Fantastic job, my only issue with that lenti (and the release of that cover in general) is that it completely spoils the movie

nothing can completely spoil this movie.

To me this is arguably one of the most creative movie of all time.

I thought it was lame. I watched it once and sold mine (had amaray with lenti slip). Way too bizarre and the end was way too blood-drenched. Totally wasn't into it.

Yeah that's why I loved it too! plus Whedon fans can spend the whole movie spotting actors for all his shows lol. Classic film!

I't wasn't a magnet right? You just cut it out of the slipcover and placed it on a magnetic surface?

Pretty much yeah. Pealed the lenticular off of the cardboard slip then cropped it down to get the digital copy / dvd bar off the top and the critic quote off the bottom. Removed all the glue adhesive from the back with goo gone so the magnetic backing would attach smooth and flat without any bumps.

The adhesive removal is obviously the most time consuming and hardest step.

Thanks for the info I myself just cut open the connective part of the lenticular Blu-ray slip and re-glued it after I fit it on the HMV Steelbook, because it was too tight. Didn't turn out as nice as yours though

What does that listing @ Zavvi mean?

[snooloui]

It looks like Zavvi have 'found' a lot of old stock of Lionsgate and StudioCanal releases.

 

[psychoscot]

Interesting!

Looks like it's getting a re release.

Snoo, any news on this from your Zavvi sources?
