Split (Blu-ray SteelBook) (Zavvi Exclusive) [UK]
- Thread starter steelbookz4eva
- Start date
Yes, I don't disagree with you about this one .. . just saying . . . and there's definitely "better" original poster designs for this flic out there than this one such as the original poster design used for the 4K UHD release:-

Great movie = Ugly steelbook !! If Black Barons does it I hope it's not the one they will put inside ! If yes, it's an easy pass !
Quite so . . . as far as U.K. orange steelbooks go - or even U.K. steelbooks with orange spines - it's definitely one of the rarer colours.
Whilst I've got gaps in the collection from 2016 onwards I can still spot the following orange/y spines - TOUCH OF EVIL, ZOMBIE FLESH EATERS, CITY OF GOD, TRAINSPOTTING, SHAOLIN SOCCER, I. J.: THE LAST CRUSADE, SWINGERS, THE ENGLISH PATIENT, TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE, EMPIRE OF THE SUN, THEY LIVE, 2 FAST 2 FURIOUS, NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN, BOOGIE NIGHTS, THE BURNING, THE LION KING (lenticular release), TEARS OF THE SUN . . .
Futurepaks - only THE BEST EXOTIC MARIGOLD HOTEL

23 different personalities trying to get out . . . but I only count 12 . . . maybe the others on the back ?
IMO more like an advert for an anti-psychotic drug . . . as in before you take the course . . . and not stylish in a Saul Bass classic film poster way but it's got something (even though I don't know what at the time of writing).
Not forgetting the fact that the same artwork is starting to appear elsewhere as in . . .
Might have pleased more people . . . the same image in B&W (sorry, black and chrome) . . . with one of the other original poster designs on the back to match the colouring and style of the front:-
The preferable cracked glass image on a white background seems to be on every other video release so although this is far from ideal at least it's unique in that respect.
As far as the audio release is concerned, however, the same steelbook front image has been used:-
What's on the BACK ? Maybe it'll be exactly the same image right profile shot (with the remaining 10 or so "personalities" trying to get out) . . . lol . . . or the orange cracked glass image to match the front colour-wise although maybe better the other way around . . . with this on the front and the OP image on the back . . . orange cracked glass image could still work well on the back though with the orange blending into the spine . . .
Thing about the cracked glass image is that we've seen it already a few times on U.K. steelbooks (you know the ones without me needing to remind anyone
)Apart from SPLIT M. Night Shyamalan steelbooks in the U.K. are few and far between and as far as I can recall just THE SIXTH SENSE, SIGNS and AFTER EARTH out there with SIGNS easily the best steelbook of the three.
Surely 'bout time for an UNBREAKABLE steelbook - as well as a THE VILLAGE release on Blu-ray in the U.K.
Not seen this film but from what I've heard maybe the colour orange for the artwork - a colour associated with joy and creativity - is maybe NOT the best colour choice for this particular film . . .
That being said orange film posters can look pretty good even when not used as steelbook art (lol) and is a colour used by famous poster artists such as Saul Bass and Olly Moss:-

Enjoyed the movie but definitely in the wait for a substantial price drop category with that artwork
This artwork might get redeemed a bit if all the black parts are embossed.
Not sure the film has much re-watch value once you see it the first time though, and at €27 absolutely no way.......

I actually don't mind that art. The hue is not the most optimum, but I will almost always prefer concept arts like this to what they go with 99 percent of the time for the Amaray disc...which is just actors heads plastered on the cover. That, I find unoriginal and boring. So I'm putting in my pre-order for this steel.
I like it, don't think I'll pay £20+ for it, but I like it.
It reminds me of the opening credit sequences that Saul Bass created for Alfred Hitchcock.

I actually don't mind it so much now that we've been shown the full artwork... very Saul Bass! I much prefer the yellow to the orange too.
I'd say not bad at all and the treatment is interesting to say the least
