Something classy like this or GTFO....

All the blood covered images are weak sauce. This ISN'T a horror film. Let me say that again...AMERICAN PSYCHO is NOT a horror film! It's an arch dissection of social climbing and greed among the 'ME-Generation' Baby Boomers of Wall Street, Ivy League-educated yuppies in the '80s.

Here's the existing blu-ray / DVD covers for US, Germany, France, UK.
If the steelbook ends up being a rehash of one of these, I'd probably go with the US or German cover.

The German one is the best by far. It was also the US DVD cover.

Why can't it be both? I think it's a satire/dark comedy first and foremost, but it's also a crime/horror/thriller.

I actually don't like any of those covers...
I think the best would be all classy on the outside images, and use something like these on the inside-
...working the DUALITY angle..

Surprised no one seems to want the uk dvd ice pack cover. I think that is far superior and suits the tone of the film more than those generic posters of him holding a knife or the walking one with a chainsaw which is too cringey beyond belief

That's why I think the Business card case with the reflection is the best image. It simply implies malice.

This is one of my all time favourite movies, I just can't pass up on a steel of it even if the art does turn out to be meh, I'm definitely pre-ordering the moment it goes live.

 

[pgkrish]

Oh. I ve ignored quite a few ones like this on Zavvi thinking the pre-orders are full/ sold-out. Thanks for letting me know.

Why has there been no artwork update? Come on Zavvi!!!

...because they have been carefully looking at all our posts and seeing the images we put up, taking the pulse of the fans to see what we would like to see as the art for this steelbook...(!)
What? It isn't April 1st yet?

Looks like EIV used the UK poster art for the standard release hope they don't use this on the steel like they did with The Departed and Gangs of New York.

I really hope it's not this. It's definitely creepy but not in the way it should be. Doesn't do the film justice. I'm hoping for some quality, unique art.

 

[lolwut]

That's terrible.

It seems like we're all going to swing reservations at Dorsia before we get a release date and cover art for this release.
