Will probably pass on this

I might have to agree on ths. I have a bad feeling that this could be a really bad photoshop job.

How can the same sh*t happen to the same guy twice??

Some really great quotes coming through in these zavvi threads the past couple days.

I'm hoping that they don't use this artwork.

And knowing fox, it'll be matt finish again.

quite the opposite in all honesty. i love that key theatrical artwork and really hope they use it.

it should look more like this with the red title debossed but without the tagline on the side

One of my favorite movies of all time, the artwork for this better be perfect.

None of that re-release modernized crap art for the cover, original key art all the way IMO. It'd be great if there was artwork obscured underneath that slash of black in the lower left of the poster, but even if not, a classic cover can still be had...

With nothing but the title debossed?! I would cry sweet tears of joy.

 

[bigrob]

that's perfect!!!

i would proberly have the shot of John shouting through the window (welcome to the party pal!) as the inner artwork though but i'm just being fussy

this is one of my alll time fav films and i really hope this release does it justice!

I'd love to see this on the inside:

The problem with the "Welcome to the party pal" shot is that it's framed with John on the right, which would leave him under the disc, and I hate when they do that.

The only problem with the duct shot, classic as it is and perfect as it seems, is that the spine runs right through the middle of his face, which looks a little strange IMO...

Still looks good, and wouldn't really necessitate having to take the disc out to appreciate it, which is always a plus... I wouldn't complain if they went with that.

"Come out to the coast, we'll get together, have a few laughs..."

I don't mind him being in the middle of the spine, also leaves space for discs to the side of it.

Really hope for original poster art and fine embossing title.

Just like ****ing Saigon , you were in junior high ********

 

[D4vem88]

You know what, I'd love that to be the artwork!

Sorry, have to show this picture.

Me in LA 2011.

I take it back bigrob. Actually with tht mock up, it looks pretty damn good. On my old VHS which I threw out, it looked awful. But th mock ups here looks good.

I would buy that no question. Sometimes poster art is the best. Sometimes fresh artwork looks good, but sometimes it just fails badly (see Rambo: First Blood Zavvi Exclusive).

The 'ho ho ho' artwork doesn't do anything for me, he was a no name character. I'm for Rickman as Hans Gruber.

Perhaps this...

or if you want Mrs Clane...

Growly,

Yeah, but would you really buy a film that shows you what happens to the bad guy before you even put the disc in?

Have to agree with this

I know you're probably kidding, but it's 25 years old and anybody buying the steelbook is probably a fan anyway
