Oh, that cover is awesome.
Has this been released before on Blu Ray with the same artwork, or am I misremembering?
 
I posted a group buy but will wait to set it live until I can place a small order

 
I like the film but only watch it once a blue moon. I don’t have a steelbook for it, I though I do for pretty much every other JC movie.
What to do????
 
GB is live, I’ll credit any difference due to Amazon price drops

 
I absolutely adore this film, everything about it is fantastic, the whole mix of quantum mechanics and faith based beliefs, another superb Donald Pleasance performance and that score, just incredible.

I've got the Studiocanal Collector's Edition and the Steelbook which is a stunner, I'm really looking forward to getting this as well.

I've read that the transfer has better compression and colours than the Studiocanal version, can anyone confirm or deny?

From Grok:
-StudioCanal:
Superior color accuracy, robust extras with the Malevolent documentary, and attractive packaging (especially steelbooks).
Limited to 5.1/2.0 audio, which is less immersive.
- Scream Factory: Enhanced Dolby Atmos audio, slightly less accurate colors (potential mastering error), and similar but less extensive extras.
Offers unique vinyl and poster options.
Key Difference: StudioCanal’s release is generally considered to have a more accurate color space, particularly in Dolby Vision, while Scream Factory’s may exhibit a color error that affects its fidelity, though some viewers prefer its look. The difference is subtle and may not be noticeable to all.
