since these particular steels seem to have a crap flaky finish that peels off in my experience

Better this than these horrendously looking, titleless Steelbooks with poorly cropped original poster art and crappy finish.

I wish Manta would do a premium release for this after they finish with The Shining, not sure if they have the rights in HK though.

Don’t know if this is legit but apparently the art and specs. Release date 27th July

It’s legit Zavvi and HMV showing the artwork and also lists the Blu-ray Disc extras

 

[Flloydo]

Sweet. So does this mean I no longer need pick up the criterion? Any tech bods able to confirm it’s the same transfer or not?

Annoys me no title on the front

If you have eyes wide shut, you can’t read the title… nor seeing the artwork. That’s a new concept.

Would have preferred the lush purple background instead of the black. I'm so wary of faded, streaky finishes on black backgrounds.
I suppose a title was too much to hope for then

Oh well. At least it's mostly 3/4 of the poster art.
Strike this as a win...so far at least.

 

[Lord Vader]

I'm happy with that

I’m happy with it and I hope this means I can skip the criterion if it it’s got the same transfer but I also wish the black was purple

I'd near enough guarantee it'll be Criterion's master Their's was of the International cut only as well, and it was created using 35mm prints provided by WB. I'd imagine the encode will differ though, and the extras are obviously different.

Best base scenario steel there. I really hope it's spot gloss, as that'll be a bit of a streaky mess if WB just go with matte.
