It is a masterpiece of Spanish cinema!

just to nitpick: isn't it a Mexican-Spanish co-production?

Fine Mexican/Spanish

 

[grahamlan]

Any news on the extras for this?

 

[neeon]

Haven't seen this for a few years having never upgraded my DVD copy. Can't wait for this one, even if the back is rubbish

Dates been changed to December 09th.

Wonder why. Looking forward to this one.

^ Hopefully because they're going to fix the back, make it glossy and add some bossing... Something this film deserves.

 

[thebard]

I've preordered, but I'd still like to know if this has corrected, lossless audio...

 

[blu-steel]

Will wait til it hits 7.99 like everything else.

I hope they are changing the art. I said it at the time, but the front artwork should be moved to the back and this should be used for the front instead. Yes it has been used before, but there's no point in using alternative artwork for the sake of it. Sometimes overused artwork is just that for a reason, it is the best.

Me too, it was the sole survivor of my zavvi November release pre order cull this afternoon, having said that this month is pretty expensive so its a small relief that its put back a few weeks (although next month isnt much better even after the fickle finger of cancellation also went crazy on my zavvi pre orders for December lol)

As for the reasons for the delay, isnt it a bit late for artwork changes? surely things would need to be approved, then manufactured, these things would take more than a few weeks surely? saying that, Id like the front cover to stay the same, the Struzan art is a winner for me, as for the back..Im happy for that to change, but if it stays the same its no big deal for me....

Not even adding gloss so the colours are more vivid and not so dull?

Well then again I guess the finish wasn't ever announced to begin with, but they better not cheap out!

Yeah I meant with the artwork. Would love gloss but I can't see that happening

Agree with all of this snooloui

 

[djfab]

I hope a good finish for this steelbook !

 

[gitsurfer]

I'm sure I read that these would have the sound issue fixed. Perhaps the delay is due to the new discs rather than the steelbook packaging.

 

[Punker76]

New discs? Not likely! Since when have they improved the contents of any disc to match the improvement in packaging.

(By the way, i TOTALLY think they should - too many steels these days is the same old disc that's been available for yonks)
