Instead of Filmarena focusing their time on Unbroken, they should release four editions of this for the 50th anniversary. I guarantee it would sell a hell of a lot more copies.
They should release the trilogy
Same here - i cancelled mine this morning though, after weeks of getting automatic messages regarding them "looking into it." I too am hoping the Kino release is region free, but i would have liked this movie in a steelbook TBH. Still, have to wait and see what materialises with this one.........whether Zavvi put more up for under £10 in the future, and what the word is on the Kino release, once it IS released.Ordered this when it recently "returned" on the Zavvi website on 2 for £12 but having heard nothing from them since and news on this reissue, I've since cancelled.
Pre-owned (i.e. unsealed) going for about £30, sealed going for about £50, so it would appear based on a quick search at a certain online auction site...i just watched this film for the very first time a few week ago and love it, score is great.....on another note i also just learned of this steelbook but i guess i'm too late to get a copy at decent price........
Congrats! I love this film, too.Finally I found a copy of this and love it!
