It just keeps getting worse. I've never seen such a lazy steel (using the same art on the inside as the outside) other than ones with no inside art. And black and white to boot. I'll wait for it to drop below $10.

The whole EIV wave is like that

Won't be paying full price for any of them. So half-assed. History of Violence is one of my favourite films as well (sigh)

[CivilianSnowman]

Bah! I love the movie but this steelbook is quite boring.

Bah! I love the movie but this steelbook is quite boring.

There is always the other (better) version.

There is always the other (better) version.

I absolutely love this cover so much!

 

[Mariusz]

ugly steelbook

[garilar]

great movie, shame its ruined by another lazy design

 

[virkia]

I think with a nice gloss finish this will look the business (or at least better than the recent similar 'Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer').
Easily the best 'History of Violence' steelbook out there IMO.

I really like this movie and am considering getting this release. The people at Zavvi couldn't tell me what subtitles/alternative languages would be on it though

Just checked the back of my 2009 U.K. Blu-ray release and unfortunately/ridiculously the only language choice is English and the only subtitle choice is English too.

If you wish to upgrade your 2010 release Italian Blu-ray to the U.K. steelbook and expect Italian audio/subtitles you will be disappointed based on this information.

That doesn't necessarily mean that other audio/subtitle options are not available on the disc in the steelbook if a new disc is available and included but I'm sorry to say I don't have that information.

In my experience your chances are slim at best in getting a meaningful reply from Zavvi or The Hut on items they are selling.

Not at all - unlike the U.S. disc.

 

[BDDB]

Despatched, not seen this in years so I'm looking forward to seeing it again.

 

[Sargast]

Same here!

Thanks for your input, italian is not mandatory for me, rather a nice feature. What I really require is, alongside english as main audio, english subtitles. Those help me a lot understanding dialogues and plot. Additionally I prefer "normal" subtitles, i.e. not the ones for the hearing impaired because they have a lot of lines I don't really need. Anyway if there are normal english subs in this release I will likely buy it

I'm sorry to say but it's just ENGLISH SDH according to the back of the Amaray release though I haven't watched it for a while to check if the menu has other options.
I'll check it out over the week-end and get back to you if different options are available.

Nice gloss finish, but the positioning of that title is just awful.

 

[goufcustom]

what the heck is happening here, Dredd, Hugo and this one, all artworks appeared to be zoomed in and cropped from the mock-up, Dredd seemed to be ok from all 3 but Hugo and this one the title look to tight in the space ... whoever did the quality control should be fired...
