Nice one.
Adding this for sure.

Not keen on that steelbook design, the front looks OK mainly thanks to some solid typography but the back just looks lazy. Another one I'll probably be swapping out the old steelbook for.

 

[Hereticz]

I like it, will grab this one

Does anybody know why Italy isn't getting any love this time?

It probably will I should think. The UK release has technically been confirmed yet either. Just the German art so far

 

[TheWildEye]

HMV have on their site this releasing 10th March.
Love the slipcase, not too sure on the steel. Picking it up though.

Can always swap it with the older and far superior steelbook.

I've got that blu ray one too. One of my favourite films

 

[Hereticz]

This film is a masterpiece

Is it 1disc or 2discs?
It is marked as 4k 1disc on the shop

WB Shop list 2 discs
SteelBook is dual format as far as I know but as usual that will only be confirmed when customers get delivery.

The Amaray release is 1 disc 4K UHD only

Warner UK for most 4K releases since 2024 only the SteelBook releases was dual format with Amaray editions been UHD only.

I will assume the Blu-ray if included will be existing disc from a few years ago that had the directors cut

4K UHD disc is Theatrical Cut

Strange reason to cancel.
It was the Theatrical Cut that won all the awards.
I'm sure the Dir Cut will be on the other blu ray hopefully.

Yeah, besides it´s still only a disc, which is secondary in collector´s editions.

To this day I've only ever seen the Theatrical Cut once, so long ago I can't remember it.
Super looking forward to it.

US basic amarey release doesn't have the DC at all, it seems.

 

[Ashcroft]

Not having the director's cut is a real shame. They cut a scene in the theatricral edition to keep the rating down (due to nudity), and it really changes the relationship between 2 characters. You wouldn't notice it if you only watched the TE of course, but once you've seen the DC it's hard to go back.

And of course we all know this is deliberate to try and make us double dip when they do release the DC in 4K in a few years. I was hoping we were done with all this crap with the UHD era, but we're still having to deal with incomplete releases just like DVDs and blu rays..

Hello. Some sellers are saying this is 2 discs (Warners, Rarewaves) while Zavvi says just 1. Anyone know? And am wondering why there is no regualr Blu ray?
