That's not pretty poor artwork, not a fan of it. I'll wait see if it hits £10, as there's no print run I'll be thinking this will be about for a while.

Ah damn, real disappointing, skip, money saved.

Has Viggo just farted?

 

[howarmat]

2 swings and misses from zavvi today on artwork

 

[navydavey]

Wow now this is disappointing

I don't even mind some of Zavvi's worst artworks in the past, even Austin powers I don't hate, but this is terrible

I love this movie but unfortunately will not be getting it in a steelbook anytime soon it seems

I can kinda see what they were going for with this one. The artwork kinda has a bit of a 80's vibe to it. Like, you could imagine a VHS cover like that. But then I do like the film a lot and would like to own it on steelbook - so maybe I'm just making excuses/trying to justify the purchase. Heh.

 

[lolwut]

I would have liked to upgrade my amaray, but I just can't condone poor artwork. It's too expensive to just buy steelbooks because it's a steelbook. They had way better artwork available and they went with this? Red, black, and silver - the cheapest colors available for steelbooks apparently. Poor job, EIV and Zavvi.

 

[BluSteel2012]

The film is really great but the artwork is just, idk ... looks too much like 28 days / weeks later. Looks like a horror flick.

I hope they'll release Eastern Promises. Also a great film.

Yeah, it's channeling The Omen/Evil Dead Steelbooks.

I sometimes don't mind reprints, but my complain is why this title? Give us Forrest Gump, Cast Away or Black Hawk Down. The prices for those SBs are ridiculous..

 

[psychoscot]

Great film but that art =



Plus would rather they had done a steel for Eastern Promises, which I prefer over this.

 

[Hooch]

Great film, but will not be upgrading my Canadian steelbook for this

I agree about the prices part, these older releases need to be less, it's not like they have a great overall package, no booklet or cards etc.

 

[nekromantik]

skip.
thats quite bad!

 

[Last Lizard]

I just got this film on Blu a few days ago and was about to curse myself upon seeing this thread. Then I actually saw the art. I don't need this at all it's more A History of Zavvi... terrible!

Spoiler

I don't hate all their output

 

[aj101097]

im confused....does zavi pick the artwork or is it the studio?

 

[HalloweenNightJW]

Wow. That's just atrocious.

 

[BluMan Chu]

This film seems to have gotten the shaft...twice now. That Canadian steelbook was no winner, either IMO. I still haven't upgraded my DVD copy of the film and was hoping this would finally be my chance to do so but, alas, it isn't. I actually don't think it's terrible but I won't be buying this.

 

[NoDingsNoScratches]

I love this film, but I hate zavvi. So I'll pass for now, and if it's a stunner in hand then I'll shnaggy a copy later

 

[RekLess]

It looks like most of the other steelbooks from Zavvi--which is to say very average-looking. Not sure why people expected something special from Zavvi.
