Ordered for me and as a gift :oohyeah:

I really like that some older Movies are getting Steelbooks, it`s the best way to have a Movie and it makes me really happy when I get a Movie that I would have thought would never get a SB release. Aside from that I think people that never knew these older titles will give them a chance, which is great. Sometimes it looks like most people are only interested in the new Movies, so it`s nice to see the older ones getting some attention as well.
 
Ordered :)

Ps. Anyone ever have a problem with zavvi delivery? My previous ordered have come just 3/4 the other one Idon't receive a dispatch email but they charge me already. :(

Sometimes Zavvi delivery times can be very, very slow...I recently ordered a steelbook from them and it took 2 weeks to arrive- and that's only from England to Ireland!

I see a couple of people have asked this already, but no answers given (possibly due to the fact that it's not available for another 4 months yet): any idea if this will be embossed/ debossed?

Either way, just pre-ordered mine.
 
It may remind you of that artwork but as the Rocketeer poster came out in 1991 it may have have been the other way round!

I rememeber seeing this at the pictures. Jennifer Connelly had a figure you would die for and Timothy Dalton as an excellent baddie. Sure some of the green screen hasn't aged well but I still love it.
Even the nice nod to Rondo Hatten, a great movie tough guy was nice.
 
Nobody's really copying anyone. It's a certain style of art. (Art Deco style I believe) Primarily used around the late 1930-1940's. Used to see this sort of artwork used in the background on the end credits of the old black and white movies. The old RKO Pictures logo is another example of the style.

Here is Iron Man Art Deco style!!

Getting onto something completely different, this looks like it might have a cover border judging by the pics. Do we know if there is any embossing/debossing on this?
