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!

Another matte finish.

Seems with each passing day the chance of a gloss finish these days is slipping rapidly.

Theres been more gloss finishes the last few weeks than there has in the past year?

Not the case with Sewage Canal who seems to be favoring poor matte finish. There were few concept artworks for this movie that looked terrific and it is a shame that they chose to do a low key plain design. Worst part is the back is going to look even more dul and hazyl if the matte finishing is not of high quality.

True. The new ALIEN release is gloss and makes a point of saying so. At least they know what we want and will give it some of the time. If we don't buy the mattes they will stop producing them... saying that I do like a mix of gloss and matte (DRIVE for example).

As I've said before, there is nothing wrong with a matte finish. In some instances, it works wonderfully. However it seems that lately the paint on them is extremely 'thin' and thy end up looking a bit streaky and washed out.

An example of a nice thick matte finish is the recent blufans 'Face/off'.

Hope it's a good matte, really should be gloss though with this minimalist artwork but at least the title is embossed which I didn't expect from Studiocanal, so that's a plus.

I'm quite new to this so haven't seen all types of finishes. An example of a matte finish I did like is Fincher's 'Girl With The Dragon Tattoo' (the stunning artwork helps). One I think looks a little cheap is "Pacific Rim'.

Isn't The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo glossy?

[Marina Blue]

the designers went all out on this one...

 

[Brokenauora]

lol I like it nice and plain

 

[PG Flips]

The plain finish is ok, it would have been nice to see the cars on their somewhere though.

 

[frankfish44]

Not gonna waste any $$ on this. Absolutely no artwork and another matte finish. Will pick up a cheap amaray in a couple of months.

 

[Marina Blue]

lol I like it nice and plain

you'll love this one...

 

[Maccadinho25]

Lenticular slipcover with red amaray case a good alternative

Designers they were in a Rush to come up with the artwork


Note Lenticular slipcover with red amaray case

This looks might be good tempted to get Lenticular slipcover with red amaray case and the steelbook

I ordered both my bank account is getting hit hard for Jan-March for orders

FYI: The same guy (Elliot Cardona) that designed the steelbook also designed that slip. He did more concepts for the steelbook (see here), but this is obviously what the studio decided to go with in the end.

Thanks for that noodles. Very interesting. Having seen that they could have done 2 versions the green James hunt version and the red niki Lauder version.
