For this very special release, Anchor Bay went back to the vaults to present this legendary terror classic as never before, including creating an all-new HD transfer personally supervised by the film's original cinematographer, Academy-Award® nominee Dean Cundey (Who Framed Roger Rabbit, Apollo 13, the Back to the Future trilogy), a new 7.1 audio mix (as well as the original mono audio), a brand-new feature length audio commentary by writer/director John Carpenter and star Jamie Lee Curtis, an all-new bonus feature with Ms. Curtis, as well as selected legacy bonus features from previous ABE releases. Available in a collectible limited-edition steelbook package.

Some new extras, New commentary from John Carpenter, 7.1 audio, new transfer supervised by Dean Cundey. All packed in a Steelbook... I'm happy. The black inside is nice too, since the dark plays such a big part in the film.

Is the inside definitely black or is that how it looks because of the photo? I mean if its indeed black then that means they actually thought about it and made that decision instead of using actual artwork which would be incredibly bizarre. I personally think its normal metal looking silver inside.

Yeah, I'm thinking it might just be the photo aswell. It hasn't been confirmed it's black has it? Only speculation.

at first I was mad it had no inside art but I'm just glad this is finally getting released on steel, front and back is great and the inside isn't too much of a big deal as it will be covered by the booklet, hope Amazon send this tomorrow

Can't believe they aren't even getting ready to be shipped out yet. I hope they at least get them ready Monday. I would have loved to have this before Halloween.

same with mine.

Amazon prioritise first class and Prime orders, if you take the super saver option it won't necessarily go out quickly . With prime I am guaranteed delivery on release date .

Not necessarily mine is amazon prime and it's saying delivery Tuesday and it hasn't dispatched yet just saying dispatching now.

 

[nekromantik]

Mine is dispatching now also.

yeah I wouldn't even bother with prime tbh, I get it sent 1st class and always get it on release date, prime seems unreliable

a load of my pre-orders say Tuesday (amazon always assume the worst and that they will dispatch on release date) but they always dispatch "late" and arrive on Monday.

last week my Lifeforce was sent on Sunday , arrived Monday.

They usually update delivery date on dispatch. If it doesn't arrive on time get a partial refund (prime is all about guarantees )

Just received mine from Zavvi and I must say I am very happy with this steelbook. I can confirm the inside is black not silver.

Nice. Matrix Collection has black inside and looks pretty good

Thanks for confirming that. So this surely means they chose to have it black instead of having any artwork, very strange choice.
