The ugly these steebook of Italy is the blue strip at the top front.

Dont like the colour change on the art, and i wld hope that banner is just on the J-card.... but still, I really hope this gets a UK release with English text for us English speakers

The image was changed to blue for the Definitive Edition on DVD and has stayed that way ever since. I'd prefer the original yellow/red poster art too, but at this stage, like you, I'm just hoping for a UK release. It seems almost every other Icon release has a Zavvi exclusive so I imagine this can't be too far behind.

I just with MoC had got the rights for The Last Temptation of Christ. How cool would that black and red thorn design look on a steelbook?

Does anyone know if this will have English subs?

 

[bradipolpo]

EaglePictures releases usually have ITA subs only

 

[timban]

Ok thanks for the heads up. Wont be getting this one as it's in Latin so without english subs there no point for me!

If you're interested in a release, it often pays to do some research rather than rely on someone else's opinion.

I did exactly that. Below is an image of the reverse of the standard Italian Blu-ray release. I have no doubt that the discs will be identical to those contained in the forthcoming Steelbook.

The Blu-ray contains both cuts of the film whilst the extras are contained on a DVD.

You will note that the sub-titles are in both English and Italian.

Hope this helps.

 

[Carlos Alberto]

I would like to see the result.

sorry 4 late rply but i've only seen Last Temptation from about 3rd from end and i thought it was terrible.

…not really cuz of director or acting, but the whole underlying concept i found particularly dumb. never been a hardcore Christian, but i understand why they got pissed. Its so stupid to suggest Christ wld behave in such a manor.... seriously, its like Neo giving up the cape & sunglasses and going back to his "Mr Anderson" corporate wage-slave existence.

Insultingly dumb idea IMO.

Unfortunately, it is a pity they are not real Steelbook.

 

[Carlos Alberto]

There are already images?

 

[augustus]

Received my copy today. I can confirm that it includes both English and Italian sub-titles.

Also, it's definitely a MetalPak not a Steelbook.
