2001: A Space Odyssey (4K+2D Blu-ray SteelBook) (Titans of Cult Exclusive #5) [UK]

It will likely be spot gloss
All the other titans of cult releases so far have been spot gloss finish
A bit disappointed with the look of that steel unfortunately. I love the overall look of the packaging, but the steel reminds me of one of the older blu ray releases, but where that had bright white and orange, this one is a bit muted and flat. It fits in with the dark aesthetic more, but still a bit disappointing for me.
It's not known yet if 2001 is embossed/debossed and looking at Titans of Cult Instagram photo does not look to having any
Until we get delivery or Titans provide more photos before release date it won't be known until then
Spot gloss on the red sections would look great. Wouldn't even need any em/debossing. If the recent releases are anything to go by though, could get a border with Dave 'bossed maybe.
so why did they generate a streaky matte finish on the computer?
Don't think i'v seen a CGI mockup complete with a streaky finish style, but knowing how scanavo on there own site are often wrong on the specs, it could still turn out glossy, and with that red, glossy is the way to go with this, will look really dull in a matt finish. Also, i don't recall that scene being in red, seems overkill to match the HAL theme
OK, so it's not the eerie "Requiem for Soprano, Mezzo-Soprano, 2 Mixed Choirs and Orchestra" composed by György Ligeti" but, if you haven't already, try watching the final twenty minutes or so of the "Jupiter and Beyond the Infinite" sequence with "Echoes" by Pink Floyd:-
Is it so hard to create a really great steelbook for 2001? Maybe this one will play Also Sprach Zarathustra when you open it, but at this point, what I can see of it looks boring. If there were some intricate embossing, surely ToC would want to show it off before the preorder, right?
I agree, but I think trade wide retailers/studios/suppliers etc purposely do not disclose the finish info now in anticipation that it might affect orders. All the studios and retailers bloody know full well that the finish is of importance to collectors and I think they don’t disclose this info now on the hope people purchase blindly, which they do, without knowing the true quality of the release.
My two cents
Cheaper to renderso why did they generate a streaky matte finish on the computer?
So the streaky matte lines around 20% and 60% have been purposely rendered or are they part of the design of the steel regardless. I'm confused, it's Monday and I'm just confusedCheaper to render

Look I'm not 100% sold on the image but it's obvious the "streaks" are an attempt to emulate the appearance of the underlying steel.
