OK, I'll be the one to like the artwork on the front and dislike the back artwork. Back art is "unimaginative" to be kind. No way I was getting the French steel.
 
For £9.99 I'm keeping my order for sure. I've got a feeling this one will look much better in person
 
My finger is hovering over the cancel button!

The stretched two-face image is a classic image no doubt, but it's only meant to be a very brief shock moment in the film. It shouldn't be on the cover. And why is it green? It looks like The Matrix.

Any of the original release posters are the perfect choice for this.

Like I said, my finger's hovering over the cancel button.
 
I have cancelled, mainly just to show that im unhappy with the current art and with the slim hope we get an update on it if enough people cancel.

Got my amaray from the double pack still, but would love this in an awesome steel
 
one of my all time favourite films, but I'm going to wait until it's released before making a decision. I already own the film, so the SB will need to impress more than this.
 
Maybe wreck can convey back to play telling them that a lot of people are cancelling this because of the front artwork. Try and push universal to change it.
 
I'm definitely considering cancelling this one and just getting the amaray, the front image is awful, hate that it's horizontal and vertical, come on Universal it's one way or the other!! The whole thing is a mess, along with most of this wave

It's not horizontal and vertical. The back artwork is horizontal also. The character with the hood is standing on the extreme left of the back cover and the right hand side fades to white. Look at the Universal writing at the bottom. It's centered like all the other Universal horizontals.
 
Maybe, but the image used is not suited for being Horizontal, hence why it's pushed to one side. It looks plain bad, this whole steel is one big poorly designed mess.

I can't help to agree with you...It looks like a right old mess EEK! Maybe when in hand it'll look better?
 
Cancelled my pre-order. Massive fan of the film but the artwork on this edition, steelbook or not, doesn't do the film justice
