Drive (Possible Blu-ray SteelBook) - Mondo artwork

[apsmith21]

Hey guys! I've been asked to gauge the response of our membership here and your feedback will help determine if this steelbook and potentially other steelbooks like it become a reality! I hope you are as excited as I am about this opportunity to weigh in on the beginnings of the steelbook process.

If you're not familiar with Mondo, and what they do, here's a small overview...

Mondo creates limited edition screen printed posters for our favorite classic and contemporary films, in addition to vinyl movie soundtracks, VHS re-issues, and apparel. We also have a permanent gallery space in Austin, TX featuring a mix of original artwork and limited edition screen prints.

See more of what they do at http://www.mondotees.com

Here's the art that has the best chance of being approved! DRIVE.



What could set this steelbook apart?

1) As we already said, Mondo artwork
2) For part of the finish, a number of layers of paint can be applied to the steelbook. Whites appear whiter, and color contrasts should appear starker when seen in person.
3) HIGH GLOSS
4) No debossing or embossing as it would detract from the new "layered" effect
5) WEA artwork
6) Potential minimum print run of 4,000 units

Where would this steelbook be released? I can't say right now, but let us know your feedback. If you have other design ideas, let us know, and maybe they will be included in the final product!

Holy F* ****!

By all means yes, but I might just stick with my HMW. I have to draw the line somewhere when it comes to double dipping on re-releases.

I would love it to the back (Rhys Cooper)

sums up what I think about it

Love this movie, that art work would look amazing on a steelbook!

 

[Slinchafi]

I lost the print during checkout when it went live on mondo, then the same story again when the remaining pieces went up on postersandtoys. This steel would be a good consolation prize for sure

Without a shadow of a doubt I will be in for this. Two of my favourite things combined. Been collecting mondo prints since 2009. About time their artwork is utilised more.

DRIVE + MONDO= HELL

Any concerns about print run and this not selling out are laughable! Drive is one of most collectible and most sought after titles in the game and when you add Mondo to that... thee Mondo?!? That artwork blows servers and sells out in seconds!!!

This would be a grand slam release for long time Drive collectors like me and new collectors looking to start or to own one great edition of this Neo-Noir Masterpiece! Just like 'harry' and others have said DRIVE + MONDO= (Insert Over the Top Positive Response Here!)

Did I mention, this should be released by

Just saying! :movie:

With artwork like that I will double dip for definite. I'm interested to see this new 'Layered' paint job too.

 

[steelnoob]

Beautiful artwork for a perfect movie. I would buy it

 

[Civer]

What the hell? Of course I want this! Why is there even a "No" option in the poll

 

[Bluprint]

I will give you my money just to make it, then I will give you more to own it!

Heck yeah!

Holy F* ****!

EXACTLY.

 

[spass]

Wait what????? Just seen this thread, have only read the OP.



Please make this happen!! Please!!!!

I'm feeling like this here I'm sitting typing this post:

 

[Petit Lu]

I want this steelbook! Do not own any copy of Drive so a steel with Mondo art would be killer!
Also very excited about the idea of a wave of steelbooks we can influence...

 

[monkeyspinach]

Would love a Mondo Drive steelbook and I love that image at the top, but I'm not sure if it works as the front cover of a steelbook. Looks great for a poster, yeah, but I'm not sure if the composition works for a case.

Having said that, I'd still buy it!

 

[pdbluray]

23 No

Please.

There is nothing collectable about endless reprints and rereleases.

What ppl buy is thier own business, but dont hype this as being remotely collectable when we all know that if its successful or desirable, it WILL be reprinted or re-relased again (and again and again).

Retailers gotta Retail :movie:

 

[nutcaseshy]

I heard good things about this film (haven't seen it), also don't own this yet on any format, so might as well get this steelbook. Depends on the art (which we shouldn't worry about) and price, I'll definitely buy this. This is a perk being on this forum.

I got the hmv version on release, but hell yeah I would buy this
