Unless it's mistake with the artwork, Amazon US has this listed directly from them for preorder. So it's safe to say there will be a region A or region free version hitting our shores. U.K. version may very well still be locked to B, though.

I know it's a UK and USA release so will be more likely be region free

Your pre-edited comment seemed to indicate otherwise.

Happy to have this on both shores.

I edited the post straight after I posted you replied to quick

I also created both the USA and UK arrow threads I had forgotten I created the USA one

I was interested until I saw the artwork, not good at all.

Wouldn't be a proper web forum if someone wasn't ready to jump on your post the second you make the tiniest mistake. This makes us sworn enemies now, doesn't it?

Once had someone correct me when I said something was £16 instead of £15.99, I was a penny out and yes me and the other member are sworn enemies forever, if he's still around....

Regarding the steel, I don't suppose Arrow having already got the amaray could announce a steel with the same artwork later down the line.

 

[Evil Genius]

Damn, that steel is fugly.

 

[Lollard2002]

Is this official "Utter **** artwork for steelbook" week and we were not informed..... Jesus they are bad. With this and War Games Zavvi are doing their best to avoid selling anything|!

Don't know what to think of this art. I suppose if it's super glossy it could be good. If not it will look really bad.

 

[andy01652]

Don't think this art is too bad. Not great, but not dreadful. Certainly better than a lot of the other recently announced ones. It doesn't really fit the tone of the film though- too modern and Photoshoppy. That, combined with Arrow's release makes this a certain big price drop. I'll think about getting it then.

 

[TheHutt]

Ugly.

Agreed but for a great film with one of the best car chases ever this is soooo disppointing

 

[Lollard2002]

Hopefully someone from Arrow will be reading these comments and get the message

 

[virkia]

Considering there isn't one decent poster out there to act as cover art for the steelbook (imo) I think they've chosen this original art well and consider it very nicely and cleverly designed and one of the most satisfactory in this wave.

[themanfromunkle]

Again shite artwork. Unless it's Disney/Pixar or marvel, can't be bothered

 

[munkideluxe]

For a film like this and that's the best they can do?

 

[paulboland]

Reminder this Zavvi steelbook will have the inferior older MGM Blu-ray

Jesus, what the hell is that??
This film needs a proper Steelbook for gods sake

Yep. Its sadly becoming the norm. Just give us the OG poster/marketing artwork as intended for the original cinematic release.
