Now I see this, I prefer the original design!!
Seriously, why did they have to drain it of all colour? The original wouldn't have been so bad if they just changed the random back cover pic!

I agree, I prefer the old design too.
I understand you can't please everyone.
Thinking of canceling and keeping my amaray...

The artwork is better but it is black and white now, apart from the title, what happened to the colour?

It's covered by the clouds, and as we all know "Every cloud has a silver lining".
I know - yet another silver steelbook but in this case excusable and appropriate.

The new art is definitely better, although I'm still not loving it. Kudos to the studio for listening to our feedback though and putting the effort in to getting it changed.

I don't think they are clouds.
It looks to me like an outline of a brain, becuase he has bi-polar disorder:

Meant to be a play on words in response to the question "Where's the colour?" which the new artwork doesn't have and also referring to the title of the film included in the famous Victorian proverb quoted above and to the silver colour of the steelbook.
No reference intended intentionally or unintentionally to any form of brain disorder.

Woah! Result! Got to retract my previous harsh words - new design, while not mind-blowing is still light years ahead of the late April Fools Day joke originally posted.

Yep old front was much better especially if it been glossy bringing out the brightness. This is just dull.

Order cancelled.

 

[tono06]

i like the new art, ordered....

The only thing wrong with the first design was the back (and the inside, which seems to be unchanged). Old front plus new back and I would have bit.

Yep the front was actually fine, and if glossy would be bright and cheerful, add that new back and it would be an ok release, but this new art is just bad.

Cancelled this an hour ago so I await the usual Zavvi email asking "were you looking for this" lol

Maybe so but it is very bland looking, even the rest of it may well be b & w, possibly silver too, it's like one step forward and two steps back again, wish they just improved the back.

It really wasn't....

Wow, they actually changed the artwork.
Personally i think it looks better, but what happened to the color? I get the silver, but that black and white back? It could seriously use some color for sure!
But if they are serious about the artwork, as they have changed it cause of backlash i persume, they should change the back to some art/pic that is more cheerful and colorful, not just some random pic, again.
