Hopefully the slip is strong and not just a paper one. Anyone got any discount codes for the pre-order?

For the film itself I tried and it didn't work. However, I added another movie to the cart and for this one alone it worked.

No working discount codes that I know of. They were disabled before it went live.

Puzzled by the double sided artwork on the slipcase -- as in where is all the data of the film printed, data that you expect to see on the back of a slip or a j-card ?
Is there a separate card sheet inside with a precis of the film, a list of Bonus Extras, the region coding, the av specs etc. or is it going to be somewhere on the back even though it's absent on the mock-up ?

I'm pretty sure there'll be a paper attached to the back of the slip with the data. They just don't show it in the product pics, just like they don't show the j-card on steelbook products pics on the Zavvi site.

Thank you for that.
Never having bought a steelbook in a slipcase I was a bit confused as to whether the data would be printed around / under the images on the back of the slips or on a separate sheet attached to the back of the slip or on a loose sheet inside the slip

If will be interesting to see if any of the new wave of Steelbooks with slipcases come with any Debossing. Looking forward to seeing some pictures

Seems unlikely but you never know.

I also received that email.
Had to use a redirection service as Zavvi don't dispach to my country anymore.
As for the movie itself I revisited it last weekend and it continues as good as always. I bet you'll enjoy this one!

Damn, that sucks. Hopefully it arrives in one piece!

Glad you still enjoyed it. I'm certainly looking forward to checking it out after all the great things I've heard.

Very nice! Glossy too?

Yeah, it looks it.

Again. it's not my pic. Sorry.

 

[Noodles]

Ah, my bad.

Postman must've seen me talking about it as he literally just posted my copy, so I can confirm that it's actually spot-gloss (silhouette/characters on the front and same on back).

RE: THE SLIPCASE
Please advise if anything other than ordinary:
- Matte (like the Amaray slip) ?
- Embossed title on the front (like the Amaray slip) ?

Spoiler: Henry Fonda aka Frank

Although Henry Fonda makes for a splendidly sadistic killer here it's still a bit of a shock seeing him so cast against type - more used to him playing the "good guy" or the hero in such pictures as THE GRAPES OF WRATH 1940, MY DARLING CLEMENTINE 1946 or THE WRONG MAN 1956, 12 ANGRY MEN 1957 and his last film ON GOLDEN POND 1981.

There's nothing special about the slip unfortunately... it's just standard card.

Watching the film now, and I cant stop picking up the steelbook to have another look at it... the spot-gloss and embossing is used perfectly! The slip is obviously a really nice bonus too. I was very hesitant to pre-order any of these new Paramount slipped steels at first, but now I'm actually looking forward to building a collection of them.
