awesome art but too much lettering.................

 

[Norwichlad]

Wish they'd take that text off the rear art and put it on the inside under the disc area.

Also, agreed just put +black and chrome edition in smaller lettering

This ^

Will still probably pick it up though.

Yessssssssss! This is the best news I've heard all day. I've really been wanting this one, but I didn't want to settle for less than a Steelbook.

 

[Flloydo]

Had a feeling this was going to happen soon and agree with all the above, not a bad price, not bad art but too much lettering

Hope it's gloss too


Is the chrome also a extended cut? Because it mentions it including the colour 'theatrical cut' or is it because the 'chrome' version is not the theatrical cut.

I'm guessing the latter but would be cool if it's cut different or has new scenes also

 

[snooloui]

I like it except for the title, there really is no need for to put it on there twice.

More special features? I hope for more special features

Easy pass for me on this. This is bringing the cash cow to a whole new level.

Director: 'Oh I'll pretend my vision for this film was to be in black and white and I'll re-release it again for the lucrative Christmas market and call it the 'Black and Chrome edition'. And many shall come and fork out again for the same movie '!!!!

I'll turn down the colour on my TV next time I watch it and save me the expense!

If only it also featured an isolated score like the director intended..

[HUBMUSWELL]

Black and white doesn't work IMO

 

[HalloweenNightJW]

Niceeeeee! Thank you, Zavvi! This will be my 3rd "Fury Road" Steelbook. A new record!

 

[Punker76]

The Mist had a black and white version, was well nice, very effective. But with Fury Road being mostly golden yellow anyway.... Not sure it needed a black and white edition.

Actually, George Miller initially envisioned this film being black and white- and advocated for the film to be black and white. However, the studio denied that claim, and preferred that he go the more traditional, desaturated style. Miller did not do this, and just to piss them off- he made the film as colorful as he possibly could. xD

I have the German Steelbook release for this film, which is, IMO- the cleanest of the Fury Road Steelbooks- so I don't feel overwhelmingly compelled to get this edition.
Especially since they felt so compelled to put "Mad Max" on the steelbook twice as much as it needs to be.

Is this retribution for us always wanting a title on the spine from Zavvi? Now they put the darn thing on there twice?
