Yeah - I didn't realize that HDzeta was releasing later this year

With their track record they can't fail in making something truly spectacular and I'm going to be envious of everyone else as I have this - I'll probably be content with only owning one steel for this film

Even with the embossing I’m still like mhmm.. ? What about the back. Is that plain flat. 4K might have made the push..

4K would have made harder to sell due to price increase that would involve and leave lot of stock unsold
Steelbook be the same anyway be it 2D or 4K/2D

Yes the back is flat but won't say plain.

This is far better than mockup as it's fully pained steel not using the original steel effect.

Here's the steel from another more dynamic angle, I'm really digging the reds on this - enjoy

Thanks to the excellent pics above pleasantly surprised by the embossed bullet ... all sides looking good ... although would've been so cool to have new disc art to go better with the steelbook ... even something in B&W like this:-

Anyway, inside layout of this steelbook courtesy IlandNo

Seems to be a trend where they're picking up steelbooks released some ten years ago with original poster art and giving them a modern twist w/ original art and embossing.
A couple of other recent re-releases treated this way spring to mind - THE GAME and SWEENEY TODD:-

The embossing is very nice.

Have this Steelbook a similar finish to THe Game with spot gloss?

 

[paulboland]

Spot gloss finish on the title and bullet
Back of steelbook broken glass has spot gloss finish
Bullet is embossed

 

[Greyback]

Thank you very much!
Are the broken glass on the rear also spot gloss?
