Ready Player One (4K+2D Blu-ray SteelBook) (Titans of Cult Exclusive #4) [UK]
- Thread starter IRON MAN
- Start date
I missed out on blade runner and was planning to pick it up but looking at their upcoming releases, having second, third and fourth thoughts now
Well, I think there is a difference between CULT CLASSIC and CULT FOLLOWING. There are films that are cult , deemed cult, etc. that many would not consider a classic.
Drive has a cult following, Dredd in general has a cult following, Mad Max Fury Road definitely has a cult following, same with RPO in my view as it never got the true love it deserved but still popular enough to be a cult hit in years to come when their are fandoms etc for it. Wonder Woman might be walking a thin line as it was a huge blockbuster, but doesnt deny it's had cult like following fame to go with it.
But I do think WB need to dig deeper into the archive as their are more films that are more cult like. The Matrix for example was cult for a long time before it became a huge franchise.
Oh you gone and said it out loud - wouldn't be surprised now that it Titans of Cult #5 (represented by a removable magnetic beard)
my options for new warner bros ones would be:
- the fugitive
- Robin Hood prince of thieves
- under siege
- demolition man
saying that, I’m picking this one up. I like the film and it looks cool. And that’s enough for me.
Or even Batman Vs Superman...
I'd like to see them do The Matrix... Top 3 film for me which I know has had quite a few steelbook releases already (duh, it's Warner Bros), but surprisingly there's never been a premium package. Plus the only artwork used on a steel that I've genuinely loved is the very first one that was released in the US and Canada with the baby pod on the front.
i am in two minds, as i like the alt. approach they are taking to the physical releases and designs themselves, but the name is annoying me. like a label being called Mainstream Films and only releasing obscure 70s explotation flicks. just irritates in an irrational way.
i wish them luck - haven't bought any yet, though!i'd anticipate that a company called 'Titans of Cult' should be releasing Repo Man, Angel Heart, Paris Texas, the original Dune (as per your post in the other thread), Being John Malkovich or Withnail & I (which i always say, as it's one of my favourite films ever). maybe they'll be my first releases when i start up my own micro-retailer...
The artwork really needs to be amazing for me to consider this. Thus far it is subpar to me. Quite happy with Zeta, Manta and BB editions.
Awful. Fury Road looks the best so far
I kind of had a feeling this would be the least desirable of the announced titles. But, aside from the art, I wonder if it’s going to have some kind of color changing aspect. Looks like each visible steelbook rendering seems to have a slight change. Almost like a holofoil effect.
I doubt it on a steelbook but admittedly could look cool
problem with this design, it’s too much like the crappy WWA release. Okay gloss might help and bossing but it’s too similar to that
I really like the ToC Blade Runner Steelbook so was looking forward to seeing what this one will look like (especially as its a decent film!)...have to say I'm not impressed! Doesn't look anything special at all! 
Think the Mad Max one is the only one I'll be contemplating getting out of the three upcoming releases.

Going by description in the Instagram post there will be colour changing used as shown in the image
As to how that is done ? at the moment
