Makes the steel oddly good value for arrow then. Only £3 more for both a steelbook edition and the bluray disc.

Hello,
Are you really sure there is a bluray for the steelbook edition please ?
because Zavvi indicate 4K .... and in my opinion, the second bluray is either a 2D Bluray for bonus or a 4K bluray Bonus (still for the steelbook)

I don't have a TV screen 4K ... so I really hope there is a 2D Bluray for the movie in the steelbook. thanks for your answer.

@vinny
Steelbook is Dual Format
2 Discs 4K UHD and Blu-ray

Zavvi just copied and pasted info from amaray edition that is 1 disc for steelbook listing
That is why steelbook listing mentiones reversible sleeve which won't be included as it's a steelbook
Only amaray releases come with reversible sleeve

Steelbook is 2 discs (4K UHD and Blu-ray)

Amaray is 1 disc (4K UHD Disc only)

Note as per usual all releases are subject to change

Despite the lukewarm critical reception it got I've always enjoyed this adaptation. Was hoping this was what Arrow were teasing and pleased to see a Steelbook
Preordered

Note
Those that don't want the dual format steelbook (4K+Blu-ray) but want a amaray blu-ray edition instead of UHD amaray edition
Alltough not announced today there will be a separate Blu-ray amaray release

Details will announced likely next week

Cool. I actually massively prefer the amaray artwork over the steel. Hard to believe that it wasn't used instead.

It was due to some error not announced on Friday but will be getting a blu-ray amaray release

It's likely next week or early next year in January before release date will be offically announced

As it's a march 2022 release plenty of time to announce it and still have same march release date



Don't yet have details about the Blu-ray as in if it will have same contents as UHD

 

[Lollard2002]

Really enjoying the 4k releases from arrow. They really are on the ball. Between them and Kino, getting some great titles..

Definitely agree with you on the art

I saw recently for an other title, it was also 4K + 2D !

But the thing is that the 2D Bluray was only for bonus. and 4K disc for main feature (movie) , so I just hope it won't be the same thing for Frankenstein Steelbook Zavvi because there is a lot of bonus,
