Sweet. Didn’t think we’d get this. Hopefully our spine is the correct way round

US steelbook (the one where Leon is shielding Matilda from explosion) has both cuts in UHD I think.
But I have this on preorder from France anyway, and glad there's new interviews.

Absolute scam, if you buy this you're telling them you're a mug. USA got both cuts from the start and the UK got scammed then, now years and many releases of Leon later we get what we should of got back then for £35 with sh*t artwork, what a joke.
I own far too many copies of this film already, original blu ray steelbook, the standard 4k and the EB ultimate box.
We didn't even get both cuts in the zavvi EB release or any of the 4k premiums to my knowledge.

I could be wrong here, but the USA release does have both cuts in UHD, but.....I didn't see it come out in steelbook form. I'm buying the UK steelbook, but if i wanted to save money, I could just get the regular one for less than $20.
From that French steel review Paul posted, it looks another streaky matte finish. You can see it when he moves it across the light. 
No spot gloss.
We can't win here. Quite expensive this one, especially as it's a double dip.
Deffo going back unopened unless by miracle it's spot gloss. Not too bothered about having the Theatrical in 4k. It was more for the steel art.
This is the benefit of having these forums. You get to make somewhat informed decisions quickly in most cases.
