I like the lack of titles myself, the art looks great on this and at about a tenner less I'd grab it

 

[Shanester]

Loving that artwork!

the same artwork is also on the german special dvd edition:

i don't like the artwork so much, i already have the criterion, and the zavvi price is ridiculous. --> pass.

but the movie itself is great as far as i remember. fincher's dark atmosphere, many surprises and the ending is

Very good film, worth watching

 

[BluSteel2012]

Awesome!

 

[Nightowl]

Wow, great art! What transfer will the disc have? I've got the Critereon Blu-ray and must say it looks damn good all things considered.

 

[sanjeebdeb]

hmmmm.. i thought they forgot about this..

 

[goufcustom]

Yeah... Even I think the cover art is kinda nice but without the title it's kinda missing something....

£24.99 has got to be a joke. I could import the Criterion Blu for that and still have change, albeit no steel, but I'm almost positive the Criterion would have better extras anyway. Zavvi are having a laugh here.

 

[Afterdeep]

I will go for Criterion Collection release for sure. Zavvi ruining the steelbook business unfortunately...

 

[SimonLDT]

Already have the Criterion which has a superb transfer and extras, so probably a pass from me. However, this is a really cool design which if done right could be awesome. I'm actually really liking these steels where the title is on the jcard but once removed the steelbook is just pure artwork. Really classy stuff.

Personally, I'd have a 'paramount type' thick matte background, spot gloss those wires and then deboss the outer edge of the mannequin (also glossy). No need for a border and this would IMO look amazing.

Way to plain, whats with all the black? This wave is starting to remind of the crappy Armageddon/Die Hard 3 Steels we got a while back. And again no title?

 

[Slaughtermom]

First the hate towards bordered embossing, now towards titeless, clean and simple covers - i dont get it.
Imho the Game, 12 Monkeys and From Dusk till Dawn are awesome. Everyone who knows the movies (so the ones who would actually buy em) can tell whats inside the box.

I love this art not ruined by some poor typeface

 

[HiDefJunkie]

Don't like the art, it's just to plain. Reminds me of the crappy Die Hard 3 art a while back.

I really hope they change the art because this superb movie deserves something better.

 

[Azrael]

I love this film and I really like the minimalist artwork. But at that price its an easy pass. If they confirm that it is the criterion transfer then I may consider it.

 

[smileyx9]

A superb Movie,superb Artwork but not a superb Price - therefore i will pass this

 

[snooloui]

The front would look great with a title. It looks like someone accidentally photoshopped it out and left a huge space instead.

 

[elchipo]

What is that price ... and we were complaining about the price of Disney titles ...

 

[Ali D]

I assume this will be £14.99 when live.

 

[Great Healer]

Cool artwork, great film, awful price.
