For those not yet embracing the 4K UHD format there's always the regular Blu-ray only FIRST MAN steelbook releases . . . such as this one from France :-

€29.99 (4K) or €22.99 (Blu-ray)

Thanks - to me it's not about not wanting to embrace 4K, it's my refusal to pay £30 for the pleasure!!!

Looks like this is the artwork for the Swedish steelbook (according to discshop.se), which could possibly be WWA...

Finally watched this. It’s amazing

Hoping on a premium to go with whiplash and la la land

I just watched it last night too... loved it! Fingers crossed Manta go through with their premium edition.

Do you approve? @Noodles
I think it looks great. It just needs the right kind of finish.

It's certainly not bad, but it could be better IMO. I agree... the finish will either make it or break it.

Didn’t see this earlier

I’m personally not a fan. I really like the mock up lol

Oh man, that would be so disappointing if this is the artwork. I hope it's the mockup artwork in the OP.

If black design confirmed WWA to be more interesting dare I suggest they swap the covers around and put the footprint (with 'bossing of course) on the front (the same kinda treatment as the tank treads on the HMV FURY steelbook).

Wooooo, definitely like this art

If it has to be black would rather have this one showing at Amazon.fr:-

There should be a law retailers can't tease you with any artwork unless it is confirmed the one. Mock-up is obviously the best design, but you wait until they slap you with pop-art shite.

Agreed - that looks good!

Personally I'd prefer a more luxurious release along the lines of the Blade Runner 2049 HMV fullslip digipack or the 2001 a space odyssey 4K fullslip.
For me, personally, these sturdy fullslips are far more satisfying and find I'm buying less steelbooks due to lacklustre, lazy artwork....

 

[Stygian]

Yes I prefer the art with Ryan Gosling on the front with the moon visible. It makes more sense to have the moon visible as well as opposed to the colour steelbook. I hope this is WWA.
