Eyes Wide Shut (1999) (4K+2D Blu-ray SteelBook) [UK]

Better this than these horrendously looking, titleless Steelbooks with poorly cropped original poster art and crappy finish.
I wish Manta would do a premium release for this after they finish with The Shining, not sure if they have the rights in HK though.
Don’t know if this is legit but apparently the art and specs. Release date 27th July
It’s legit Zavvi and HMV showing the artwork and also lists the Blu-ray Disc extras
Annoys me no title on the front
If you have eyes wide shut, you can’t read the title… nor seeing the artwork. That’s a new concept.
Would have preferred the lush purple background instead of the black. I'm so wary of faded, streaky finishes on black backgrounds.
I suppose a title was too much to hope for then
Oh well. At least it's mostly 3/4 of the poster art.
Strike this as a win...so far at least.

I’m happy with it and I hope this means I can skip the criterion if it it’s got the same transfer but I also wish the black was purpleWould have preferred the lush purple background instead of the black. I'm so wary of faded, streaky finishes on black backgrounds.

I'd near enough guarantee it'll be Criterion's master Their's was of the International cut only as well, and it was created using 35mm prints provided by WB. I'd imagine the encode will differ though, and the extras are obviously different.
Best base scenario steel there. I really hope it's spot gloss, as that'll be a bit of a streaky mess if WB just go with matte.

Warner: Years of practice to successfully mess up steelbooks artwork.
If it's spot gloss, then it's logical to assume that'll be on the mirror, so the black parts will still be matte. Or rather covered in matte, as they seem to lay the glossy layer first.
Yep, which will mean it won't be streaky. Matte over a gloss base layer isn't streaky.
Honestly, I think this actually works better without the title. The main image would've had to be shrunk down to accommodate it. The art on the other white Kubrick steels are smaller, and simpler, so it suits them more imo. It'd look more like this:
Or god forbid, knowing WB, this:
