I like it. Looking forward to the inside art and trimmings like embossing/debossing and finish.

Debossing of the title and a glossy finish could make this one quite tasty, especially if there's no inside artwork.

Im guessing from the image above 'inside no picture' means there isnt going to be any. I like the front cover image though...might be tempted by this...

 

[Horhay]

So it appears there will be no inside artwork from the mockup.

Correct, Horhay?

That's what I was told, Bert didn't have the final product so he was unable to tell me specific details on the finish and emboss/deboss.

Well that art certainly makes me feel better. I like the back and thats about it

 

[CaptainCoffee]

It reminds me of the 2012 steelbook for some reason.

Inside art would have made this a beauty and a great companion for the Best Buy exclusive.

 

[Pieter V]

Inside artwork is still possible, I am sure there are still working on it. At least the banner is removed. So that's one thing they picked up from my requests.

Thanks as always Pieter.

 

[Nedan]

Think I will stick with my best buy release.
No need to double dip

Is it so hard to put artwork inside???

Is it so hard to put artwork inside???

I am only speculating here on why it could be extra work to put artwork inside. First off, the steel template on which the steelbook is made (remember, it is folded around the internal plastic holder) must be printed on most sides (or top and bottom). Secondly both printed sides must line up and be in the right orientation. I know most people think that with today's computers and robotics, the printing process on steel should be relatively easy much like our paper printers today. Although similar to our personal printers at home when we want to print both sides of the same sheet of paper, this here is a sheet of flimsy steel (got to protect against dents and scratches remember?) and would need to be flipped over and re-aligned to match the inside art.

Sounds like a lot more work to me

Hopefully the rating classification is not printed on the front?

The title on the steel is asking to be debossed.

I'm with you here bud.

Shame that there's no interior artwork. I think the steel will end up being plain (i.e. no special finishes whatsoever).

You know it! Just happy to have a steelbook with a different artwork for this movie.

 

[Moros]

Although I like the BB looks better than this one, I will order one.
Even if there is no emboss/deboss/glossy touches to it, I don't say I wouldn't like that

 

[lgans316]

Printed age rating log? I think it will be printed.

 

[blurayisnice]

A-film is not a premium Dutch film company known for it's incredibly awesome releases.
Expect a cheap finish, no inside artwork and no embossing or debossing .

It could only get better xD.

 

[Axeqlusive]

Well... A-Film released some awesome DVD editions of Eternal Sunshine in the Spotless Mind, Motorcycle Diaries, Der Untergang and Oldboy in the past. Digipacks with a hardboard sleeve, and multiple discs. So... they CAN do it.

Hoping for the best.

BB one all the way!

 

[Horhay]

Bert told me he wasn't sure on the finish nor deboss/emboss. His guess is as good as ours until final product arrives.
