Zavvi have so far released several exclusive SteelBook titles which were previously unreleased on the Blu-Ray format in the UK, and which only exist in Blu-Ray form in the UK as SteelBooks (opposed to a standard Amaray release). Such titles include Dick Tracy, The Rocketeer, and Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure
It seems that there is an untapped resource of titles out there which have as yet been unreleased in the United Kingdom on the Blu-Ray format (but which may have been released elsewhere, such as the United States or rest of Europe), which would make ideal candidates as future SteelBook releases, and at the same time allow these titles to have a long-awaited release in the UK - some of which are sequels to titles which have already been graced a SteelBook release, but where the sequels are somewhat absent from the Blu-Ray format in this country
At this point in time I would be grateful if the studios involved would at least release these films on standard Blu-Ray format, but if Zavvi feels the need to use this list as a starting point for future exclusive SteelBooks then I would also be happy!
Below is a list of film titles which are still awaiting a UK Blu-Ray release, of which many would be suitable as Zavvi exclusive SteelBooks:
