It was probably covered already but what are the Kimchi exclusives as of yet?

I know T2 and Grand Bleu only...

Check out this thread, has all that info -> https://www.hidefninja.com/community/threads/34687/

 

[blumaster]

obviously this steel should be debossed with spot gloss, which is way more classy.

This could make an awesome front! Replace the title with "Leon" and with embossed hat and glasses.

 

[bigducknfish]

yeah emboss the pram, or ... the two cherries in front of the pizza oven

zebra 12 : my favorite so far ...

I like it because it's unique and a great piece of art. I tried to create a back art to match this but it's not that simple (for me it isn't). The buildings in the background are based on the popular photo of Leon but are drawn digitally as well as Leon and Mathilda partially I think.

@Choi
If you don't get this from the studio and you or your designer colleges are interested in it, here's the link where I got it from. I know it could be hard the create a background for this but I think as a front artwork it wasn't seen anywhere.

I quite like the existing US cover art:

Remove the photo, trim out the billing bar and versions line, move the title up and away from the graphic a bit, deboss the white objects, solid high gloss background... now that'd be classy.

 

[tridon]

My favourite art is still the original VHS/DVD cover from USA/Canada.

I don't really care what it looks like in the end. I'll DEFINITELY buy this!

Yep, classy, symbolic and high quality. This would be my vote.

The movie selection at Kimchidvd is, in my opinion, better that Blufans.

This is my all time favorite film. This will also be the 2nd Luc Besson film getting the exclusive treatment from Kimchi....Is there a pattern here....The Fifth Element, District 13, maybe?

God I hope so!

I'm so pumped to see the artwork. Please don't suck and choose the artwork wisely guys. It's great movie and deserves to be treated really well

I'd prefer it if KimchiDVD went with the missing link between Le Grand Bleu (1988) & Léon (1994) :

Nikita (1990) : an action drama written and directed by Luc Besson, starring Anne Parillaud as Nikita, with Jean-Luc Anglade, Tchéky Karyo and Jeanne Moreau co-starring.

In this film, Jean Reno plays a small part as Victor, "le nettoyeur", a professional assassin .

Regarding Léon, I found other posters that could make for some nice art on the steelbook :

How could I forget Nikita, another great great film.

 

[alvoi]

I am SO stoked about this release!! This would make a pretty cool front I think.

 

[mnementh]

That artwork is stunning. If the steel had that as the front cover I would do a sexwee

His forehead looks like wax melting under a scorching holocaust sun.

It doesn't really fit with the movie. It's more like WTF?

Agreed. I don't like this "artistic?" interpretation

 

[The Rainmaker]

True. Even though the color combination and design is quite nice but with a little more editing and different shades and with a balanced combination of all the previous artworks (submitted by the members), the Leon steelbook can be one of a kind

The artwork of Leon has a lot of potential given the different elements. Now we only need to see how much does Kimchi exploit it, though you can never make everyone happy

 

[Real Steel]

Too many "blackish" steelbooks already, especially those from Zavvi. I prefer steelbooks to have shimmering colors, or extraordinary design that makes steelbook stand out from amaray cases. Futureshop's Inception comes to mind.

I think an open briefcase featuring Leon's weaponry on the cover would be interesting.
