Quoting HDN on Instagram:

Who wants us to release our #desperado #steelbook edition? #hidefninja #tentative #2019projects ???

Hmm.. a framed image. Risky move. Might look better if the artwork covered the whole front and back. I don't mind a black spine.

Nice, but still prefer the BS in the OP.

Would people be interested in doing a tiny deposit, let's say $5 and if enough people say "yes", the project would be funded, like Kickstarter? The balance to be paid when the project is done?

Maybe that would be fun for folks, to see it develop that way. Since this mostly sits at the feet of @Wreck, it also depends on when he can fit the project in his spare time with other stuff that he has going on.

If you guys are interested in that, I think there's a shot to make this happen.

How about taking it to $10 and we get it done even sooner?

The only reason the deposit is there is to make sure someone is serious about purchasing.

The bottleneck is the time to do this, and it's not an easy project. Lots of moving parts on this mock up.

Think of it more as a community project, not a retail edition that's pushed out there to make some money quick.

I’m interest but we need a french track

Interested for sure. I have the glossy steel already, but this looks great. Thanks for the tag @DMD4k

When originally discussed it was the uk steel which was miles above the USA one what with the gloss and emboss.

The concept here was that the slipbox served as the black guitar case from the movie. Hence leather slipbox. The clear pet sleeve overlay if you notice also has hinges on the spine thus it looks like a guitar case on your shelf (to the best possible given it’s a movie case ha)

The fuzzy red velvet inside replicates that of the guitar case. When you slide out the slipped movie from the slipbox it’s like when the guitar comes out only to pop open and reveal his weapons.

This was the concept we came up with for a slew of movies that would be an Ultimate Edition line in which editions are based creatively more off elements of the movies themselves.

Now that I’ve said it, I’ll guess we’ll start seeing it. Lol.

I hadn't noticed the hinges... although the pic in the OP is a bit small and my eyesight isn't the best lol. I really do love the idea/design though and can't wait to see it in the flesh!

Was @Snollygoster involved by any chance? Because the creativity here has his name written all over it!

Definitely! Hell, I'd even be happy to donate more if needed, as I'm super excited to see this progress into a real item and really want it to happen.

Hey @Noodles, if you were gonna design a Desperado steelbook, what might that look like?

 

[tono06]

Hire @Noodles to do something original and I’m with you 100%

Gonna say the same thing, @Snollygoster was probably involved in the project.

@Snollygoster and I work hand in hand with creative projects at HDN as he leads our Creatives, digital assets, etc. when not supplied by studio or retailer in other instances.

So yes @Snollygoster is the designer.

 

[Stygian]

Yes I've noticed that people on here don't seem to like frames or borders unless they are embossed on a steelbook.

It looks cheap to me. If it lines up with the embossed border, fine whatever. But to just go all Rocketeer and have a random border looks like they couldn't find artwork that was big enough to fill the cover.

 

[rj531]

Come on people, vote!

I am always up for HDN Exclusives..

 

[DMD4k]

Ok, let's get serious... there's 11 ninjas that are doing it wrong.

 

[Noodles]

Hey @Noodles, if you were gonna design a Desperado steelbook, what might that look like?

Terrible probably lol. There's very little decent poster art for the film, and even then the majority of it is of low quality. Appreciate you asking though!

Cheers guys! Heres a few close ups.

OK I just want to say that I voted no but don't let that influence your decision. I know I have a lot of sway around here.

I buy so very few steelbooks and even less steelbooks with slips. I love this movie and I already have the Zavvi steelbook.
Even if I didn't have a steelbook for this I still wouldn't go for a premium edition.

Unless the movie is an all time massive fan favourite classic blockbuster movie of that release year kinda thing...

Raiders of the Lost Ark, Back to the Future, Die Hard...

 

[aj101097]

Looks awesome but I’ll pass....not a fan of the film.

 

[AlienKing]

I am not interested in this project or buying the final release but I am willing to contribute $5 to fund it.
