Rick, I have asked to see if they have received more info that can be shared. Sometimes it's simply not provided to them or other retailers in advance. But if there is an update, we will post for you guys. Thanks!

I managed to finally get one

I hope this has a similar look and feel to the Taxi Driver steelbook released by zavvi

 

[henry00x]

anyone know if this is going to be region free?

 

[Tellymon]

I'm also curious about region-status. This might be one of the best looking steels I've seen,

Just checked my amaray and I'm afraid it's region B locked. It's a Miramax release so not exactly surprising.

 

[NoDingsNoScratches]

In hoping its region free, that's would suck if its region Locked. Don't these companies understand that We want freaking Region free discs! I cannot believe They don't know about us 'Oversees Buyer's.

Hoping for some mean interior artwork. Like Howard Hughes sitting in his Home Theatre all grungey watching his film Hell's Angels. Or Talking to the Reporter, On the Red Carpet, at the premier of Hell's Angels....

Back Artwork. This could be as epic as Drive HMV if it was High Gloss and Image, and the Back art is : Howard Hughes back to us, touching his Plane, and you can see his face in the mirror reflection of the polished steel Plane.....

Just get someone to have a look at TWBB. Its from the same studio Miramax/Studio Canal.

Im willing to bet it will be region B locked. Dont think ive ever seen a studio canal release that isnt.

Someone correct me if im wrong.

Like I said before, it is definitely region B locked. I own it on BR to clarify. Like always, it's the same disc they use for the standard Blu-ray.

 

[lgans316]

The Region locking was due to Studio Canal acquiring the distribution rights for Miramax tiltles.

It isn't a case of them not knowing about overseas demand, they are forced to lock their titles because different companies own the rights in other territories.

 

[Blu-devil]

There is a multi region workaround if it is a Studio Canal title.
On certain BR players at least.

The US/CA Disc is region free and Usually only about $8

I might actually replace the blu disc with my hd-dvd. Ah the good old days of region free as standard.

Postie just been for me and no aviator and frozen today.

 

[lgans316]

The release could have been have been Region free if Studio Canal didn't purchase Miramax Catalog.

German release is the best in terms of PQ, SQ and extras.
