Spoiler

- The steelbook illustration is by Krzysztof Domaradzki.
- The artwork for the slipbox was used previously for the Oldboy vinyl LP. It was co-ordinated by Nicolas Winding Refn, the director of Drive, and illustrated by Laurent Durieux. The director of Oldboy Park Chan-wook wanted one of our editions to feature this artwork so we reached out to Milan Records and illustrator Laurent Durieux. You'll be able to see more of the artwork since parts of the top and bottom were cropped out for the vinyl LP.

Will Old Boy release come before Foxcatcher?

 

[Tchalla]

Normally yes. Foxcatcher will come at the end of the year.

Oldboy release was scheduled for february/march. It will be late, i guess

I hope we'll have news in april.

Contents Zone hold the rights to A Bittersweet Life and they've been content with all their product to release a limited edition and then basic edition from their catalogue. Thus far they don't seem interested in re-releases or steelbooks!

Exactly, if I'm correct the latest Re release of A Bittersweet Life was their coffee book version. About a year ago or more.

Which is sold out I believe?

Hopefully this is not one of the final cover art.
Propaganda should design more PA releases.

 

[DJHilalo]

This needs to be released next PA, a masterpiece of a flick, can't wait anymore!!

 

[SBC28]

Agreed. That particular artwork is....not very good.

Yes, it's just a preview, not the final artwork.

But i like this style.

 

[PunkNinja]

I guess it's the same designer.

From a designers perspective, I love the placement and double meaning of OLD / BOY. Portraying both characters.

But having said that, I hope they use the left side as full artwork. Overall I love the tone and colours. But I'm not so sure of the font. Even though it's the original, it just to me doesn't interwine correctly with the chosen artwork/colours.
