RE: ARTWORK - Like it a lot especially if glossy black . . . of course very different to the glossy lilac colour-wash on the Benelux steelbook with its similarity to the Amaray releases and even to the originally proposed and now late lamented artwork for the Americas GHOST IN THE SHELL steelbook:-

Relationship between the artworks of the two films' releases continue to a lesser degree with the updated artwork for GHOST IN THE SHELL and the confirmed (for some territories) JOHN WICK 2:-

EDIT: 1.52 AM

Item from the French AV magazine "Les Annees Laser" regarding Metropolitan to the effect that they've listened to comments from their customers and are "rethinking" and "purifying" their steelbook visuals which I tale to mean losing non-essential print and printed banner headers.

I've never ordered from France. Which is better to order from Amazon or FNAC in comparison of packing and shipping cost to Canada? Any advice is appreciated.

Same artwork on this and Nova release?

Same artwork on this and Nova release?

only differences are the font and that Keanu Reeves isnt mentioned on the front

Both Amazon and FNAC have terrible packaging. But Amazon customer service is miles better.

If you order more than three from Amazon France the packaging is usually up to their best standard. . Otherwise it's a bit hit and miss.

Good taste and good sense have prevailed with live pics clearly showing that the banner header is now on the "flyer" and not printed on the steelbook itself. Title right way round too
Not much to not like here that I can see.

I can say the same thing about americans shipping, 20 dollars or more ! xD

Seriously? I guess we all are paying. But the Colossimo shipping is always like $30 to the states.
(To be fair, DTM shop shipping from Germany is even more - like $35)
