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!

The artwork looks very nice... but I don't buy Steelbooks of movies that I don't really like !

 

[Numanoid]

This could possibly be top steelbook for 2014. Its a YES from me

 

[sanjeebdeb]

Looks nice

 

[Bluprint]

34 out of the 35 people up until now that picked 'no' will buy or try to buy this! Look forward to hearing the following from them:

- What was the print run?
- Can't believe I missed this!
- When did this go live?
- I had it in my cart at checkout!

Watch! :movie:

Hell yeah from me, after HMV enders game, I am ready for a complete wave.

 

[PKAVFC]

Its a definite yes from me. I have the HMV version, but this looks great. A rare double dip for me, should it happen!

 

[Rodge08]

Interested, but would prefer new stuff, but I'd still buy it.

 

[Klownicle]

I think with the response, this will happen. But count me in. I'd finally have something nice to put on the shelf for this movie. The others just didn't appeal or didn't hit the mark.

Thanks everyone for the positivity!

Among the reasons, IMO, to be excited about this is that one possibility of HIGH GLOSS. Stylized artwork like Mondo pieces will not stand out on steel without the glassy look and velvet touch. So pumped for this!

Keep those votes coming!

With axldelarge mock up

Is it possible to have a signature on the artwork?

Not buying much these days pretty much stopped buying now but I would get this.

The only way I would buy it is if it is a HDN exclusive. I would never watch it again, so it would stay sealed, right next to HDN #1. I hate Mondo artwork. and Bluprint, no need to get your panties in a bunch. We all know how you feel about Drive.

 

[Slinchafi]

I hate Mondo artwork.

This just baffles me....

 

[Ricker]

The way they do the shading on the faces looks like they all have a disease. I was an Art major, so maybe thats why I am so picky. I prefer realistic shading.

 

[ricster]

Can't wait to get my hands on this in the studio and take some photos

Hope this happens.

Anyway back to watching drive.

 

[Snollygoster]

A Mondo steelbook collection would be amazing, bring it on!

A whole line of Paul Thomas Anderson steels with Mondo artwork would suit me just fine, tbh. The ParaNorman design looks pretty darn great too!
