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

 

[tombarca]

Another one for October?

 

[sanjeebdeb]

We should have a poll for zavvi so they know when to release these steelbooks

I pray that it is - one of my favourite films and my birthday is in October! Kitano is one of the best Japanese director's ever and his performance is spot-on. If they get the artwork right on this and it's worth upgrading from the amaray WHICH I LITERALLY JUST ORDERED, then I'll get this. Otherwise pass.

Does this mean Artificial Eye are working with Zavvi on these two (13 Assassins)? They're both AE back catalogue releases...

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

Glad to see Zavvi giving some Asian movies much deserved steelbooks. I'd love to see Audition and The Chaser get steelbooks next.

 

[Hooch]

Great movie, I hope for a great steel!

 

[SaberTooth]

Takeshi?

...as the blind swordmaster right?

well i'm sure its a great movie, but goddam this is even more obscure than oldboy. not compalinin just surprised. a minimum 4k run will probably still be in stock this time next year :movie:

 

[ALK]

Never heard of it.

 

[SaberTooth]

^^ see what i mean?

A film people should appreciate more. It's probably Kitano's most wide-appealing film. I'm sure the artwork will be great but I literally just ordered the amaray in the 2 for £10 offer at Amazon after trying to get it for a sensible price for over 6 months!

 

[Azrael]

Yes, yes yes.

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.

 

[joearoundtheworld]

Lets be honest, if the artwork is amazing everyone will buy it!

 

[SaberTooth]

^^ Well I just saw the Gremlins thread >_>

So now i will say that I am thankful zavvi are mixing things up here, and I DO appreciate the effort in producing these left-field steelbooks for cult flims like Zatoichi.

At the very least, these types are a good counter to all those dumb kiddie movies from the 80's :movie:

please zavvi

there are so many good korean movies that deserved to be realeased as a steelbook.
