Dark City (Blu-ray SteelBook) [France]
- Thread starter kynyoo
- Start date
I think that was the "estimated arrival date." But the Amazon page says release date of October 25. The FNAC page still says October 11.
It'll get here when it gets here.

It will be standard G2 size. There is no indication that it would be an unusual larger size.
Thanks for the response, order placed but will keep an eye out in case zavvi do an edition as well
Gorgeous-looking steelbook slightly marred by the cast names on the front in stark white print . . . cool move however by WB instructing that other text be kept off the back art and hidden inside under the disc - absolutely brilliant 
EDIT 28/10: Gloss finish.

Looks great, thanks for posting, looking forward to receiving this and Cube now. Good choices for the rear and inside.Gorgeous-looking steelbook slightly marred by the cast names on the front in stark white print . . . cool move however by WB instructing that other text be kept off the back art and hidden inside under the disc - absolutely brilliant
Zero finish.
but either way it is a very beautiful steelbook with great arts on every side, must-have!
$10 shipping to the US almost doubled the total cost, but still worth it since it's not available on Amazon.de
I'd prefer no "Director's Cut" above the title, and no cast list, but it's still an ace looking steelbook

Why couldn't they have put that on the mock up to begin with then?
Yup, strange that it was released in 2012 in some territories (Spain, Germany etc.) with just the TC and no DC . . . when the Director's Cut had been available on Blu-ray since 2008:-

What the director Alex Proyas had to say in March 2009 about his cut -
Quote:
"I really do believe that Dark City happened before it’s time, or at least before a wider audience was ready to accept it. Because it was so forward thinking, there were a bunch of compromises I had to make, theoretically making it more accessible to a wider audience. Like most directors, compromise is just not something that sits well in the belly. I never felt comfortable “dumbing it down” to reach a broader audience.
So when the opportunity came around to re-cut the film for a HD release on Blu Ray, I jumped at the chance. It was a real labor of love, being able to go through all the old reels and pick out some elements I believed should have been in there from the start.
One thing I never liked about the original version was the voice-over in the beginning. I felt it gave away too many of the plot twists. The studio, however, pushed for the voice-over, urging that the movie may be too confusing for some otherwise. Well, that quickly went out the window on the new cut.
There were many more additions – little things, lines of dialogue here, extending a moment there. All the changes almost invisible, but resulting in a much better film I believe – a film which is far truer to my original vision.
Now there are people discovering the movie for the first time and watching the CORRECT version – so that’s a feeling of great satisfaction. Though there are some loyalists out there who are so familiar with the theatrical version they prefer it and I respect that. Though whatever you hear about the original theatrical version, please do yourselves a favor – if you have never seen the movie before please watch the Director’s Cut first."
