I Saw The Devil would be on my list.

This is a superb film, I own the beautiful looking DVD steel case of this but might be tempted if it looks good enough.

Still, three more Zavvi releases to come (on top of Anchorman and the two Transformers films we don't have dates for). I echo everyone else's thoughts though, please no more films in Sept/Oct. how about a few for next year?

 

[cooey]

Fantastic movie that I'll happily buy on BD..... just don't think I'd go for a steelbook

 

[CaptainCoffee]

I'm hoping that Zavvi bring something more to the table than just 1 disc and a nice looking steel. It seems only fitting for films like this, seven samurai and 13 Asassins to get some really nice booklets and maybe a special features disc.

I really hope they do!

PLEASE ZAVVI IF YOU READ THIS THREAD IN PARTICULAR THIS POST .....PLEASE RELEASE A BITTERSWEET LIFE ON STEELBOOK.......AN ABSOLUTE CLASSIC REVENGE MOVIE!!!!

Will it be better than this though? http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00061RZRO/?tag=hidefnin-21

Probably not, but as I already own this release, it wouldn't overly bother me. Although this would be a proper steelbook

As these are Artificial Eye releases and they don't do booklets or proper special features as such, then I wouldn't hold out much hope for this

The only time an Artificial Eye release gets more than one disc is when it's a boxset

 

[Strikeman]

I've only seen this movie once and it was great from what I remember. Think I might order it to go alongside my Seven Samurai

Didn't that DVD tin version come with a booklet? Although I agree it is unlikely they will reprint it

 

[rapta]

I have seen half of it, and certainly enjoyed what i saw, but zavvi will price it too high for the majority to take a chance with buying a copy i think.

Watch the whole of it, one of the best endings to a film in my opinion. The musical elements are excellent - great soundtrack. Hope this and 13 Assassins are decent steelbooks but at the same time I don't as the regular editions are likely a third of the price...

It certainly did and it was a very nice tin

 

[kevindublin]

Never heard of it.

Im glad its not just me

 

[Shingle]

Don't know anything about this but will order a few anyway.

So you're going to make a blind buy on Zatoichi?

Oh, ho ho!

I'll get my coat.

I love the film but the steelbook would have to be special for me to budge and Zavvi price probably be terrible as usual.

Not to go off topic, but if you're considering more Asian films Zavvi, get some Studio Ghibli flics in. Now THOSE would rival the Disney steels (If done right). ;P

And heck, if popular, you could even start some steels on other anime films too.

Nah I agree with the request for more Korean films. I Saw The Devil would make a splendid steelbook and is a great film. The Host would also be great. A lot of Korean, Japanese and Hong Kong films would be excellent in general.

 

[Jango]

well, in general studio ghibli is japanese

I know, I think I just meant live-action Japanese films. Don't get me wrong I love Ghibli but not sure steelbooks are wise. Unless we're talking Princess Mononoke of course

 

[Twizted328i]

The ring would be amazing too I am gonna pre this aslong as its confirmed as the newer remake if its the old original will probably pass tho....
