Really looking forward to seeing how this wave turns out, especially Amélie & Bronson.

For anyone who is interested, we used an agency called Oink for the four upcoming steelbook releases. (Amelie, The Mist, Bronson and Ghost Rider) The spec was to create something different and fresh for the titles, and not be lazy and use a straight theatrical adapt. They are all hand drawn pieces of art, specifically created to compliment the steel. Hopefully if these prove successful there will be more steel books in production using similar styles of artwork. We (Entertainment One) are personally very happy with the results. As a studio we have a lot more planned... (Walking Dead's are planned next)

Adrian from eone directed mention that they used an agency call Oink which can be found here http://www.piggy.co.uk/bluray-steelbooks

Here's the artwork that got rejected by the studio for Limitless, Dallas Buyers Club & Lost in Translation.

I remember him showing us he Dallas buyers club and I wasn't a fan but I'd be all over that limitless and lost in translations art on steels!
Wtf were the studios thinking

Also lost in translation has a blade runner feel with a bit of old boy

@Noodles check out what the studios turned down lol (bar Dallas)
 
They all look horrific, I wish they'd they stop using that company and just use normal poster art :rolleyes:

The poster artwork is awful for limitless compared to that mock up. Like incredibly boring awful. Each to their own though

Love those, especially the Lost in Translation one... that thing is gorgeous! :drool:

Shame the studio turned it down... big BOO HISS to them! (n)

Agreed. There's actually already a steelbook (I forget which country) that uses the poster art, so that option is already out there for those that want it. There's also a nice Canadian steelbook, so that's another option for those that don't like "proper" art. Personally I think it's nice to see something different being attempted... or at least they tried to anyway.

Those colours really grab my attention.
Yeah I'm not a fan of the already existing limitless steels

Shame, I personally like all of the above mock up's, @Flloydo do you remember our chat about an Inherent Vice Steel?, had to do a double take on that Limitless mock-up.

Yeah I do, I'm still so gutted we never got a steel for that. Maybe kimchi blu or plain archive can one day but it has to be with the art we discussed that is pretty much the poster art or one of them as they all have that simular style and beautiful colours.
Or that art that's on the inside of the ammray with the girl laying down on her front.
I even contacted Warner about that but got knowhere lol

I really like the mistt art but I'll be waiting for a price drop along with Amelie and GR2, I have pre ordered Bronson but I might cancel and wait it out too.
The only one I don't like is the Dallas mock up lol but I already have the kimchi so I wouldn't be bothered if they did decide to go with it in the end.

Also now carries the SOLD OUT tag

It won't be sold out.
Its because today was the release date and has seemed to changed so their systems probably can't handle it and have folded lol

It will be back
 
Ignore the Sold Out for now
It's Zavvi mad system release day arrived and was not in stock it auto went to sold out because of this
It happens with some of their listings when no stock in stock on the system release date

They updated the release date after this but have forgotten to make live to pre order
It will as available to pre order in next few days after they change it on their system
