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.

First steelbook I've bought in a long time! Looks amazing!

1/4 Slip does it for me on this one. I mean it gets some points for not obsessing over the hammer right? The scissors were a cooler prop!

Happy with the keepcase edition but I kind of want that 3rd disc.

The other 2 slips don't obsess over the hammer either

Just the goodies which we all get (and that's only the front of the book and one of the art cards - if anything the quarter slip gets another slip with a hammer scene on it)

Great photos @moon

Both editions looks great imo.

I meant more in the sense that a hammer fixation would have been an obvious choice of prop art. A google search has it cropping up in about half the images you find as though it's the most iconic thing in there. I'm just glad they chose different elements to focus on.

Except the Steelbook itself,the rest looks average mainly the slip artwork. Reminds of a mix of Toy Story FutureShop IronPack and the back artwork of Only God Forgives.

So this boxset only has 1 steelbook and none of the fullslips, and 4 production booklets, is that right? Either way if it does not include both the slips I would not have been interested, so money saved

Thanks for the pics.
I like the classy look Is the written content in english?
And do we have a fellow ninja here that could help us internationals out?

 

[SteelCollz]

Is the written content in english?

Most likely not.

 

[BumBum]

Most likely not.

I feared that
Stil a nice set

Why? Steelbook without any slips . 4 booklets you cannot read and a shoebox.

You right regarding the content - but I still like the look of it.
But you got a point - without being able to read it it doesn't make much sense. Too bad

Box set looks like a collection of 4 literature classics. This is just Oldboy.

Would love that green finish as an Moleskine notebook. Wow.

A bit of an exaggeration; storyboards, production stills and posters need to be 'read'?
Only the screenplay's superfluous if you don't understand Korean.
