Spoiler

- The steelbook illustration is by Krzysztof Domaradzki.
- The artwork for the slipbox was used previously for the Oldboy vinyl LP. It was co-ordinated by Nicolas Winding Refn, the director of Drive, and illustrated by Laurent Durieux. The director of Oldboy Park Chan-wook wanted one of our editions to feature this artwork so we reached out to Milan Records and illustrator Laurent Durieux. You'll be able to see more of the artwork since parts of the top and bottom were cropped out for the vinyl LP.



Old mock up

Is that a cast poster? Why why why? My lord, this release is so underwhelming. I guess I'll get the quarter.

I don't understand why the eff they're not revealing the bloody thing. That would surely help people decide.

Type C cancelled in favour of 1/4 slip. WTF. Thought 1/4 slips were dead.

Blind buy for me, so i hope they on't reveal the artwork it will be easier to have one so

I think at this point the Plain Archive folk are just worn down from this huge project. They must feel like someone has hit them over the head with a hammer.

In a world where people now only display the slip instead of the steel inside it, I welcome it. Plus Plain have always released 1/4 slips and I know a few people who have only ever bought Plain 1/4's so it's probably good news to them too

I have collected PA 1/4 slips, so you can imagine how happy and excited I am. It's enough to get me to rub myself.

Your post sounds like a trailer advert lol. Just kidding. Yeah agree but dropping the beautiful Type C in favour of 1/4 slip is disappointing. They could have kept both Type C and 1/4 slip.

What's wrong with a cast poster? First, some complained about the Inarritu collectible card included in the FA Revenant editions and now this. These are the creators of this great film, goddamit. I better calm down. To each his own.

Full Slip C cancelled? Great, one less decision to make!

Pretty strange things with this giftset. What is "extra shipping charges"? $20-30-50 more or maybe even $100-150 with DHL courier?
What's inside this box? Maybe it's just a pink shoe box with the same stuff. There's so many questions and they left all of them when it's only hours to preorder.
Maybe some people would like to reconsider their decision to buy giftset instead of Fullslips.

 

[galareta2332]

I am going for A.
B is like B-oring for me. Copper edition looked similar.
I will go for fresh & new

For those interested in the 1/4 slip, it will include the same 60 page booklet that the other versions have. The booklet will also be housed in a o-ring slip with the envelope that includes the goodies due to not being able to fit eveything in a 3 disk steelbook. Not sure how they are going to package it all together. Could be similar to Kimchidvd's Amelie 1/4 slip release where the booklet is behind the steelbook but inside the 1/4 or just entirely seprate.
