Older updates:
Our sister site is reporting that we can expect an upcoming wave of Warner Bros. steelbooks in Canada.

This is going to be a very busy fall / winter season. EEK!

Per Brana at FS Forum 9/27/2010:

"As was previously noted on the forum, the market will see more and more Steelbooks being produced by the studios directly for national distribution amongst all retailers who choose to bring them in. This will primarily be on older catalogue titles as the industry looks for new ways of creating some excitement and driving more sales for Bluray. While this is bittersweet for FS as we have been the leaders in Steelbook and pushing this cool packaging option for years as our thing, ultimately it's about you the customer and making sure as many of your diverse movie needs are fulfilled with Steelbook. The reality is we would have never been able to produce some of these Steelbooks on our own as the minimum packaging runs are pretty high, so we cherry pick older titles and often times work internationally to partner with other countries.

This first wave coming from Warner will also be bitter sweet for some of you as it's some old/new titles coming back in Steelbook format. My understanding is the artwork is different than before so there shouldn't be crossover where they are bringing something back that was sold as an FS exclusive a few years ago.


Two things you can expect that will make this exciting for you: because of our leadership position around Steelbook (which is really about you guys and all the active members we have here in our forum) we will get first look at upcoming Steelbooks here. We have also worked out with Warner an exclusive opportunity to vote for Wave 2 and have a direct say in what movies go Steelbook. You asked for this and we brought it to you. The poll is up now on the right hand side of the movies forum page. The window is short so you have until Sept. 30th to cast your vote. We're really exited about finally being able to being this to you and are working to do more of these with other studios in the future.

I will post the graphics for Wave 1 into individual postings to not have 1 massive graphics heavy posting. Let me know what you think about what's coming. Hopefully you guys are excited!

Brana "

Computer, yes top 5. There are separate threads created for those that "may" become Steelbooks. Once we hear the actual announcement, I will remove "possible", and the other threads for Steels not in Top 5 will be locked. Thanks!:)

Good to know. Now to just wait and hope Blood Diamond, Goodfellas, Heat, The Matrix, 2001: A Space Odyssey win the vote. XD

James, I see 2 listings for Batman begins, for instance. Not sure if one will eventually become the Steelbook.

Hey Babe :p

Actually I was online late last night and when I searched steelbook but unlike in previous searches with everything it was all coming up except the November 23rd releases were missing almost like I searched with removed released date 11/23 was real weird. Then an hour or so later I refreshed same search and they were there again :ohno: was I seeing things? Cheers,
 
Hey James-I honestly don't know-I think we need to await confirmation, which hopefully will come soon:)
 
you know's notice

V For Vendetta
I Am Legend..............Are all limited edition and kill bill 1 & 2 isn't..
300
The Dark Knight
 
FYI-per Pikachufever at FS forum:

"It hasn't been officially announced yet, but I saw an ad in a distributor magazine for the Wave that was previously voted on (Wave 1?). They're due to be released at the end of March (either the 22nd or the 29th).



I can only remember 4 of the 5 titles:



2001: A Space Odyssey

The Matrix

Heat

Batman Begins



They all looked pretty awesome, with 2001 (HAL's eye) and The Matrix (art depicting the "eggs") looking like instant purchases."
