What a joke, plenty of art to use, but at least they didn't use the same poster art that's on every other single release since dvd, no idea why they keep doing that old done to death stuff, the film runs 100mins find something it's easy really, watch the film maybe it'll spark some original thought, geez.
****. I guess I'll have to get this but how diasspointing is that artwork...tag me when the price drops
Quite like the simplicity of this green baize pool table artwork and the red spine is a definite plus to give it some oomph.
Just hope the balls in the inverted triangle are coloured as in the original poster with the centre one stamped with the "$" sign and none left blank.
Lose the title on the front though as one like that is enough.
New title to Blu in the U.K. it's true but the pricing of these steelbooks is nevertheless all wrong and nobody should be buying this or any other single disc older title at full price any more unless they are 'special' / ultra limited / Disney/Marvel . . . lol.

Wow, after seeing @NoDingsNoScratches post I've only just realised after all these years that this was directed by Scorsese (and I call myself an avid fan)
Mind, blown...

Don't be so dramatic! It's ONE steelbook! Look at Blufan's Romeo & Juliet - steelbooks are coming along just fine.
There will be clunkers along the way...
Dramatic
This isn't the first time from Zavvi we've had a decent film but really lousy artwork. Steelbooks these days are getting lazy.
Not impressed looks too plain, could have used the movie posters, possibly one with more balls on the table and put a movie poster on the back, looks like this is the first UK release for this movie.
Will be getting this one. Love the film. The art needs a bit of work. Hopefully it's just a mock up and not final.
Crossing fingers until the blood stops circulating.

Agree with lot that you are saying there but I can't have you dissing Hitchhikers, it is one of the surprise steelbooks of the year, a gem in fact for a catalogue job.
The artwork for this does suck big time, fed up of this wave of crap art flowing through the steels right now.
I guess this art is a result of nobody wanting to spend 6 months fighting Tom Cruise's people over the use of his name and image.
Fair enough if you like HHGTTG, I'm not a fan of the design.
Disney, Sony and Fox have been responsible for some amazing designs and frankly, some God-awful ones. That's what makes it so frustrating. You know they're capable of works of art but find trepidation in any announcements. Is your favourite movie going to look amazing or awful? How can Big Hero 6 look so good, yet The Color of Money look so poor?
Top top movie. Terrible looking steelbook IMO. They should have gone with poster art on this one.
I really 100% believe this is the reason. It has been fairly common knowledge that TC and his people take forever to give the O.K. for artwork. (And are very particular about it)
FYI guys, this goes live Sunday 9am UK time.

What are you talking about??? 90% of steelbooks (in the UK at least) range between fricking terrible and average. There is a BIG problem with the standard of steelbooks lately.
