Beautiful artwork!

I have the US release and a 2012 Panny Plasma.

I watched this and was very satisfied with the AQ/PQ. Gorgeous movie.

I'm sure it looks decent, but the UK version looks even better. Personally, when given a choice, I prefer to own the disc with the best PQ. comparison

That is quite special. I'll quite happily part with £14.99 for this.

Not a fan of that artwork at all, I think I'll pass.

 

[Naughtius Maximus]

Hmmm i'm not so sure about the artwork myself...

I still love the Italian steel version...but have the German one seen as its the 1st steel ever made

 

[Frasr]

Looks nice. Not seen this film yet so this seems like a good time to pick it up

 

[maru08]

looks pretty good

Amazing artwork.. I already have the canadian one but looks like I'll have to get this one too

 

[rapta]

Wow, great artwork! I got the amaray for £5 a couple of months ago though...could I justify spending 3 times that on a steelbook? I'd like to see the spine/back/interior first methinks.

EDIT: oh I clicked the link...not too sure about the back, they should've put that on the inside instead! Hmm...

 

[gitsurfer]

more artwork is now up at Zavvi. Not a bad image for the back but it is not at all complimentary to the superb front art. I'll still be getting this but it's a shame unless they come up with something better. It's as though they have one person in charge of the front art and another person selecting the back and the two never speak to each other!

Personally I think this looks absolutely amazing! Please let there be no text.

I have a 2 disc dvd special edition w/directors scetchbook and the Canadian steel and had originally no plans on another edition.

Well, there goes that plan out the window. This will be mine!

How do we know this is 4000 print run? When I look at Zavvi there is no mention of the this figure. Can anyone help here? Am I missing something?

Love this artwork not seen the film so a blind buy for me at £14.99.

keep the full size pic with no title/a film by GDT name or rating/studio at the bottom that's the best bet imo it will look sweet.

Definitely! Very please there is no text on the front cover.
Looks amazing, and does not need to be spoiled by a title.

 

[Revolver31]

lets hope it stays at 4k this time instead of zavvi changing it willy-nilly as they please.

As for the back cover i'm not the biggest fan I do hope they change it i'm not sure how many people would agree with me though.

Front great, with slip great, price fine at £14.99, inside?

Looks nice but in general not a fan of comic artwork.

You've got to be kidding me.

#1 - I am extremely surprised that artwork got approved, since it's more of a drawing than actual movie image. It's not a bad looking pic, but once again, NO TITLE? The title is the brand! Pan's Labyrinth is an awesome title. Put it on the cover. Jeez. And... although it's not an awful pic, the German cover image or some variation of it is much more appropriate.

#2 - I cannot believe the back is gonna be that ugly beast. It might have been a tense scene in the movie, but it it was also a really small part, and it shouldn't take up the entire back cover of the steelbook. This movie is lush with scenery/backdrops/mystical characters. Better options could have been chosen.

#3 - Disappointed to see that this is another Studio Canal release, since they'll probably Region B lock it.

Ah.. .... I think this is a missed opportunity to capture the art of this film correctly. Man what a bummer.

 

[lgans316]

I agree with the above comments especially #1.

Now that is what steelbooks should look like nothing but art definitely getting this one
