I know I know but Daredevil, Fifth Element and Abraham Lincoln Vampire hunter were down as zavvi exclusives until they came up on sainsburys weren't they??

There's absolutely no need for that ugly black thing there. Original artwork is big enough to fit the full height very well...

I agreed or (i hope) is it just j-card?

 

[snsguy]

I'm kind of disappointed with the artwork. Looks like more of a fun house or a movie made in the 70's. I love this movie but the only thing that has to do with the movie on the cover is the actors and the title.

No, or at least the error was corrected. Not sure if it was on Zaavi's end on this end.

Loved the movie.
Been waiting for a nice steelbook to go with it but with this art... seems like I'll continue waiting...

Who needs lenticular when you have a cover like that!

I like the art. I think it portrays the mystique of the movie.

 

[mothy]

Not a fan of the art. The pose with hands looks a bit staged and tacky. Woud have preferred something less obvious. Not sure on this.

Considering there are small words on their, you can see they used that. However just cropped off the small words. Perhaps they arn't allowed to make a modification to that original artwork?

Exactly my thought. Will probably look better in hand but I would still prefer different front art. Back and inner art is nice though.

I think the cover artwork is a ploy by zavvi to hypnotise anyone who buys this into buying more Steelbooks with them and spending more money!!

Good point. I just put them on top of each other in Photoshop to see what's possible. I noticed that the one from tmdb.org has to be stretched a little to match the zavvi cover (so if they used that exact same image then they did modify it a little).

And now after I got my results in about 10 minutes of work I'm really disappointed/pissed off. Who is responsible for designing steelbooks at zavvi?! Here's what I mean:

This is how zavvi used the artwork:

This is how they could have used it:

 

[Machinegunrap]

Don't own the movie yet and this is a perfect excuse to get it. I kinda like the art.

 

[blurayisnice]

I don't like the front... Too much going on.

 

[Jnavotheman]

not the biggest fan of the art but still a must get for me, I love this movie

 

[Weazle]

Still ordering it but ... that price

 

[apsmith21]

Huge Nolan fan, but that artwork? Please, there are SO many better choices.

Definitely passing - not worth a premium for a release that I can't show off because people walking in the room might get sick
