happy days.
sorry to bump an
old thread, but i have just watched this again, saw there weren't any, and really wanted to post some pics of this.
this was easily one of my favourite films of 2015, and i did not know of this release (or thread) until i came across it by accident by scrolling through wdpung's entire items for sale eBay list (over a few days!). it's a great release for a superb film.
if you just want pics,
here's the album, unboxing below.
if you have not seen this film, i won't give you any spoilers, but go into it thinking of it as a drama not a thriller, with the real Sherlock Holmes in old age, and flashbacks to a case from his past. it's not an 'old school' whodunnit Holmes mystery - and all the better for it. performances are universally superb.

i don't own any other 'Creative Editions,' but there are some lovely details on this for what is essentially a slightly dressed up slipbox edition. it's the sort of film Plain Archive might have done an edition for, also.
once you get the shrink wrap off, you can really start to see that. there's a
two layer effect on the front with an embossed/raised McKellen superimposed over a classic Holmes silhouette. the
lettering is all metallic gloss and just seem really fitting for the release, and the production quality of all of this is high.
pics of all of this and the
label under the spoiler:
the
scanova case inside loses a few points for being the same image as the full slip, but it's fine:
inside image is fine. pics of all of this and the
disc art under the spoiler:
although it's less substantial than it first appears, i like the fake book inside, which opens out into a
trifold double sided card. plus the 2 double-sided
postcards, this is
everything you get with this release:
all in all, this is a nice release. i wish it had been a proper premium, but i suppose it will never get one. if you can find a copy of this, recommended.
