The Burning (Blu-ray SteelBook) [UK]
- Thread starter rj531
- Start date
My copy from moviemail just arrived. I only ordered it 2 weeks ago as it was still listed on their site. No notification of dispatch or anything else. I was expecting another steelbook and was surprised to open the package as get the Burning Steelbook. A1 and no damage despite crappy jiffy bag packaging.
The irony being I had originally ordered in in August cancelled it and then ordered from Zavvi as i could get it cheaper and then cancelled it again and was still able to get a copy. I suspect there are a lot more copies out there than is being said.

....in effect, "Not sure what you're on about, so I'll waffle on and say they'll probably/possibly/may reappear again...who knows?"
My copy from Movie Mail arrived today (ordered 29th August).
My heart always skips a beat when receiving a steelbook in a jiffy envelope, but thankfully this one escaped without damage.

I predict this will be a repeat of the situation with the UK steelbook of Rush. It initially appeared sold out and was changing hands for ridiculous amounts and then became suddenly available for peanuts everywhere.
BTW if anyone has any interest HMV decided to dispatch my copy today!. ( Too bad that I already bought a copy from Amazon thinking HMV had screwed me)

Interesting my movie mail number was 29703741 and was dispatched the 6th as well..... My heart jumped a beat as well with the same crappy jiffy bag
Or maybe it is more like with the World's end steelbook. You never know...
Judging by your response to my post you must have a different interpretation of the Zavvi reply than I have . . .
My reading of the Zavvi response is that there are more copies about to "hit the shelves" shortly and that only a certain number of the Zavvi allocation have been sold.
Anyway, we shall know soon enough.
. . . and that soon to be re-stock at Zavvi is in addition to a re-stock at Amazon on the 15TH OCTOBER (now listed there @GBP 24.99 - a figure I trust will be adjusted under the pre-order price guarantee of the lowest price for the steelbook of GBP 20.30).
No skin of my nose whatever happens as I've already secured my copy

Yes, not much in it with Arrow having a couple of cool Extra not found on the Shout as well as a slightly better encode along with "better" artwork and of course the Collector's Booklet. Issues with the colour / brightness mentioned above can I suspect be remedied by tinkering with the controls.

SHOUT Extras:-
- Blood 'n' Fire Memories: A Detailed Look at the Creation of the Film's Make-Up Effects with Special Effects Artist Tom Savini. Savini urges viewers not to watch this short before seeing the film, and he's right, for he gives away the goods on several key special effects. Interestingly, Savini himself played Cropsy's legs in the opening scene where Cropsy might be thinking, a la Frankenstein's monster, "fire bad". (1080p; 18:01)
- Slash & Cut: An Interview with Editor Jack Sholder. Sholder reveals he kind of stumbled into editing, having intended to pursue a career in English literature. He makes one kind of funny comment, saying he had no interest in horror films, preferring instead "American classics" by (get ready) Truffaut, Renoir and Fassbinder. (1080p; 12:04)
- Cropsy Speaks: An Interview with Actor Lou David. David is kind of creepy looking anyway (sorry, Lou), so he made a perfectly reasonable choice for Cropsy. He says his career has been limited to playing "fools and ghouls". (1080p; 11:19)
- Summer Camp Nightmare: An Interview with Actress Leah Ayres. Ayres recounts how she matriculated from modern dance into film and what this shoot with so many young actors was like. (1080p; 6:45)
- Behind the Scenes Footage (1080i; 7:56)
- Theatrical Trailer (1080p; 1:27)
- Make-Up Effects Still Gallery (1080p; 2:25)
- Poster & Still Gallery (1080p; 3:05)
- Audio Commentary with Director Tony Maylam and International Film Journalist Alan Jones. This is a highly engaging commentary. The best thing is that Maylam obviously takes neither himself nor the film at all seriously, and he's actually a little derisive now and then as the film plays, which only makes the commentary all the more charming. There a are a lot of great anecdotes here about the Weinsteins and the filming process.
- Audio Commentary with Stars Shelley Bruce and Bonnie Deroski. This is a little less effective commentary, but quite enjoyable nonetheless. Most of these young actors were pretty green and were just learning their craft, but some, notably Alexander, already were savvy enough to rewrite their parts to make them better fits for their personas.
