@paulboland

Since this is the same art as the US what are you going to do?

US Cut and International Cut is in UK releases

The new 4K scan was done only on the US cut

Not confirmed yet, but it's likely to be the US cut based on the info so far from the restoration.

 

[BluSteel2012]

I'll hold out for the Cinemuseum edition then......

Not confirmed yet, but it's likely to be the US cut based on the info so far from the restoration.

UK release is both US and International cuts

The 4K scan remastering was only done for the US cut

4K UHD will have US remastered cut

They should have listened to Kubricks notes.......

Not feeling the art at all

Haha, that’s brilliant

 

[Lone Crusader]

Huuuu! The UK get's the same ol' piece of sh!t that the US gets. That blows, man I really wanted to get this movie and on steelbook but...damn!

 

[goufcustom]

i hope A Clockwork Orange didn't end up with the same kind of arts...

 

[Robsonmonkey]

One day this will get decent art

 

[Noodles]

I personally love the art, but then I'm a big fan of creative minimalist ideas such as this.

 

[ChrisIW]

How many terrible steelbooks can one film have?!

 

[djjez83]

The slicover artwork blows this away

 

[virkia]

... resulting in this:-

One of the alternative "ALL WORK AND NO PLAY ..." posters would've made for another interesting steelbook . . . although maybe a bit too similar to the steelbook for MISERY - dead cool with the typewriter keys spelling out the title on the front and on the spine though:-
