Whether it’s true or not I read The Whole Bloody Affair wont be released as a steelbook but could be wrong. Nice announcement for a Wednesday morning!

Yup, I read that too - no steel just a collectors edition of some description.

I really like this steel from Manta, but I heard the 4k isn't a very good upgrade at all?

It's not amazing no

I always found the Blu-ray really impressive for its time so went in with super high expectations for the 4K disc and it was a bit meh. IIRC Kill Bill Part 2 looked better

 

[Vendetta]

It seems like Manta weren’t really in the mood designing this edition, but I do like the steelbook.

 

[umryleg]

I will probably bite but not too concerned with this release. I didn't dip into the Lionsgate's steels, however, the idea of TWBA 4k release is intriguing. I am assuming TWBA will be a 2-disc release like ZSJL.

 

[andreasp19]

Also just clocked, the steel is the exact same design as the Reservoir Dogs release they put out. Surely must be same artist?

 

[Lenny Nero]

A bit too late, but I like the steelbook, so one slip will do.
Fullslip is 'tired old art', have it on the recent Imprint boxtrocity:

DL-A looks alright, but it's just photos from the film, and I have the back on the NovaMedia Fullslip:

That leaves DL-B only for me.

I wonder if they'll use a dual layer disc for the Whole Bloody Affair. That would be cool.

I am assuming TWBA will be a 2-disc release like ZSJL.

They've said right away, that they will try to fit it on a tripple layer 100gb disc, if it doesn't infere the quality, otherwise they're ready to split it.

 

[Masta Norris]

SteelBook looks like a horror movie. Kinda meh. FS is a let down. Would have taken either Lenti A or B as a Full Slip.

Only really good design is the OC (of course).

Even though it's Kill Bill, I think I will pass this one.

Yep

I assume he's done the art for Part 2 as well and maybe even Pulp Fiction as well which is hopefully is the now missing ME#100 release

 

[Punker76]

Yep

Have they said they'll be doing Pulp Fiction?

 

[Mr.Pink]

I'm just shocked we didn't get Volume 2 first.

Yep all the way back in 2020 when they first announced Kill Bill

Part 1 4k is super under whelming but part 2 looks decent.

 

[Kinggoose]

What a shame these are so disappointing, especially after waiting for so many years to see what Manta would come up with. That front OC artwork is horrendous, why are they all at different levels instead of being straight along the top? I reckon I could whip up something better on Microsoft Paint. DL-B is the best of the bunch I think, but agree it would have been better as a FS, especially the back of it which I think is the best image they've used.

 

[sbarker]

Steelbook is great (same artist as RD and AP) but the slips aren’t great. That whole OC art should’ve been the FS so that’s pissed me off tbh

Either the FS or DL B for me. Really wanted to OC it but the DL A is rubbish and I thought they’d wait for the whole bloody affair

Back of B is a flip (maybe turns red?)

Agree that they should have used the OC art for the FS but I'm a little underwhelmed by the steel, it's nice, I don't dislike the art at all but I don't see it beating the Nova steel.

 

[Lenny Nero]

That front OC artwork is horrendous,

DL-B is the best of the bunch I think, but agree it would have been better as a FS, especially the back of it which I think is the best image they've used.

 

[djjez83]

Steel is decent but could of been better.

One click box front is weird to me and agree with @Kinggoose about them all being different levels, not a fan.

Double lenti B and full slip are the two best but need to see all 3 in hand to declare winner. I would pick DL-B if i could only have one as its pretty unique.

 

[tha_lunatic]

steelbook is awesome and much better than the novamedia one ....glad i sold that one (not really, but i have to act cool)

full slip & dl-a are great. the front and back match each other.
dl-b: i like the back but the front is bad and doesnt match

 

[yeslek]

Would usually be all over this but am holding off for any physical release of TWBA.

My current steelbook, with both volumes and slipcase, will do fine until then.

Still tempting mind
