Kind regards,

I would love to see a John Wick steelbook release in the UK. it seems that Summit Entertainment hold the distribution rights, but upon doing a bit more research, it seems that eOne are the major contractors (aka primary distributors) of Summit releases in the UK, while Lionsgate are the secondary contractors (aka secondary distributors), even though Lionsgate owns Summit Entertainment. Here are the links if anyone would like to do any further reading. http://www.wikiwand.com/en/John_Wick_(film) http://www.wikiwand.com/en/Summit_Entertainment

John Wick is a Warner title in the UK.

John Wick is a Warner title in the UK.

Ah, thank you for that, you're right I checked Warner's website just now. I guess Wikipedia isn't always correct.

Edit: Seems it's come out on the 10th of April here, so I guess a steelbook is probably a bit far away, if there is one.

Hi Adrian welcome to the forums.

I'd have to go with Lost In Translation as that title is one I have waited a long time to see in steelbook form. Would LOVE to see a release of this with some different art from the standard release with both Bill and Scarlett on the front panel.

After the gorgeous Divergent steelbook it would also be nice to see a steel for the rest of the films that match in style too.

Outside of those on the list and one that was released theatrically by you that NEEDS a steelbook is Warm bodies. It's grown over the years into a cult film but has been badly overlooked in the UK for getting anything other than a basic release on home formats. France released a gorgeous digipack that now commands a high price because of the fact the film has a dedicated fanbase and it's the only good limited version currently available.

Would be amazing to see this get a gorgeous glossy red steelbook with the cute poster art on the front.

Other than being one of my favourite ever films Lost in Translation is crying out for a top quality release - I've been praying for a Plain edition tbh - and with so many stunning images in the film it would be almost impossible to make anything but a simply gorgeous steelbook

Magnolia.
But of your list - Walking Dead Season 4 is my top choice as I have the first three. That, and Lost in Translation.

 

[JRT]

The "Scream" movies!

 

[Ricker]

I WANT PINK FLOYD: THE WALL, thanks and welcome to the forum

 

[dvdjunkie]

I would 100% want to see a Walking Dead Season 4 release but it would HAVE to be a match with the previous 3 series released in the UK.

 

[Ricker]

Why is The Woman in Black highlighted?

 

[padmaro]

Lost In Translation would be great in steelbook. My absolute choice!

 

[Dan]

Welcome to HDN!

I'd buy pretty much any good movies that does not have a steelbook release yet. The 2 on top of my list are: A Walk Among the Tombstones and Lost in Translation.

@eonedirect

Hello Adrian,

only real exciting and fresh title that I feel would be needed such a great steelbook release is Insurgent !

all other titles would make also nice steel releases, but not as exciting as Insurgent which is a really hot title right now, Can't wait to see the movie and multi dip in every country I love the steel release for this movie !!!

quadrupled dipped in FutureShop Divergent last year
and
double dipped in Entertainment Store Steelbook version as well

This steel is what I am waiting for to start popping up as I can't wait to own that 2nd movie steel of it, Love this movie series.

Thanks so much

Would like to see an Insurgent steelbook to go with Divergent (and hopefully the remaining two sequels).

@eonedirect


hello again Adrian, here is someone that agrees with me

wanted to also mention, that other steels in the choices are filler releases I find, the types that get a steel release to make money in between really hot titles...


Pllleeeaaassseeeeee Insurgent to follow up on Divergent which was soooo god !!!!

 

[tnguyen13]
