Additional info from Noodles

Just been chatting to Elliot Cardona (the guy who designed the artwork) and he confirmed that this has "a matte finish with a Pantone red and embossed lettering." Shame it's not gloss, but I can live with it being matte because I like the artwork so much. Can't wait for this one!

The artwork is not finalized yet..which is a could thing because it looks very plain right now..

The best film I've seen so far this year. Which makes this a must-buy for me even with the current mockup cover. I would prefer this cover than an actual cover showing Chris Hemsworth at the foreground/front cover and Daniel Bruhl at the background/back cover.

Pre-ordered. Finally something else with the cover, than staring faces.

Sometimes a plainer cover can stand out. Perhaps for the rear they could reverse the colours. With red writing on white background. To sort of mirror the colours of Ferrari and McLaren.

Cant Wait To Actually See This. Hope The Cover Art Stays The Same.

Im finding it difficult to swallow that as new releases on blu say seem to be released at a lower price point these days we are being charged more than ever for non exclusives let alone the limited ones! Shocking turn of events for us as collectors.

Would love a Hunt and alternate Lauda edition with models, I'd buy both! Outstanding film!

Saw the film at my local cinema last night and pre-ordered the steelbook first thing this morning. This is one of those films where I'm not too bothered about the artwork as I liked the film so much I must own it. If the finalised artwork is good then it will be a bonus.

pre-ordered.

Just got back from watching this. Fantastic film. Looking forward to watching it again at home. Not a fan of the current artwork though, hope they use some of the great imagery from the movie instead.

Absolute must buy, I actually dig the simplistic artwork.

I disagree and don't rush as it is a Studio Canal release who have been having a great time with Steelbooks.

 

[kron]

Great film but I'd have to pass on the steelbook if they kept the placeholder. One of zesty's many design's which he posted earlier in this thread would make an amazing looking steelbook.

Like this one

 

[elchipo]

I do like the back of that design, but I must say that I love the red placeholder front

 

[jcm]

I do like Zesty's mock up, but what I like about the simplicity of the current placeholder is that it fits the movie well. Yes F1 is very flashy but it was simply the "Rush" that drove James Hunt and is in essence why he led his lifestyle and the competition with Lauda.

I'm in if the simple red holds

Some sad news today in relation to this film. British racing driver Sean Edwards was killed in a crash in Australia, his father Guy was one of the drivers who pulled Niki Lauda from the wreckage of his crash at the Nurburgring in 76. Sean played the role of his father in the film.
