Jason Bourne (Blu-ray SteelBook) [UK]
- Thread starter Norwichlad
- Start date
I'm a bit late with this one, but here's my concept...
I've been rethinking my order of this lately, but if that was the art used it'd be an insta-buy. That looks class!
YEAH TOO MUCH AWESOME,
Too MUCH TOOOOOO MUCH AWESOME
, better then the actual steelbook art
Yes, and same artwork showing for the Italian steelbook . . . and with a glimpse of the inside:-
Jason Bourne : un steelbook italien
— 26 septembre 2016 — Le dernier “Jason Bourne” sortira en steelbook en Italie. Le visuel est pour le moment différent de celui présenté chez zavvi. De plus, il est étonnant de voir des logos sur le recto de la part d’Universal. A suivre donc pour voir si ce visuel est définitif, et s’il s’agit d’une exclue italienne.
As the blurb states - either artwork not final or Italian exclusive.
Spot gloss finish apparently according to Steelbook.com. Glad I canceled my preorder now I've seen the pics. Looks lazy and overpriced.
Just cancelled mine after seeing those images. I enjoyed the movie and can't wait to rewatch it, but I can't support such a lazy/poorly designed steelbook, especially at the current price... I'll probably just wait until it hits the bargain bin.

Just came across these pics of the steelbook for France which is bound to be the same as ours and if I had to choose between the white or the FNAC black exclusive I'm not sure which one I'd go for (tbh):-
Spot gloss on there somewhere (on the "MATT DAMON" ? lol) and certainly looks a paler shade of white unlike those grey whites I've seen.
FNAC Exclusive black steelbook
Italian steelbook confirmed as white with the same image and not another exclusive

Wow, loving that back art.. looking forward to getting my copy based on that alone
It's great when they design a special edition release with such amazing attention to detail
That's the only reason I cancelled my order and will wait for a massive price drop before ordering a copy again.
Yes, got to admit to disappointment with this one for a number of reasons best summed up thus:-
THE BAD
a) Finish. Full Gloss on white steelbooks gives that luxury look and feel that cannot be achieved by other finishes and this looks very Matte to my eyes.
b) Back artwork ? Even if it's just the crosshairs of a telescopic sight or a b/w of Alicia Vikander or Vincent Cassell or even something like this with T.L.Jones:-
c) Doesn't match the previous 4 released recently thus spoiling what could have been a nice little set (same studio as well) but maybe fits in a bit better with the 4 Target steelbooks but not by much.
TARGET: BOURNE 1 - 4:-
d) Listed everywhere in the U.K. that I can see as "1 DISC" so missing the Bonus DVD Disc included inside the French steelbook for example.
THE GOOD
a) Looks as white as white steelbooks can be.
b) Disc art.

There will no doubt be several steelbooks released for this film over the next few years, just like with the other films, so I wouldn't worry too much... they'll certainly only be getting my money once they actually put some effort in to the design anyway.
I miss the days when Universal made quality Steelbooks. 2013-2014 we had The World's End, Kick-Ass 2 and The Wolf of Wall Street and they all had a perfect finish and great artwork. This doesn't hold a candle to those.
