Only other reason I can think of for having a door, an axe and a maze style print-out instead of an actual 'A' list cast member on the front of the new THE SHINING steelbook is because the studio is (understandably) not prepared to fork out big bucks to an acting legend like Jack Nicholson for a very limited release steelbooks for a forty year old movie (no matter how well respected the movie may be) ....

Hi am I right in saying the German release had no inside artwork? If so that's disappointing
None of the steels are that great to be honest
