Damn... I just re-watched it last week! Ossem movie, a must have steel!

 

[TheWorz]

What a nice surprise!

 

[SlyFondle]

Pity they won't give it a debossed bullet hole a la 'Lawless'

 

[XXHAPPY GILMORE]

Its a bit of an odd one for MoC, not complaining though, i just hope they don't start to go too mainstream, however Dog Day Afternoon would be amazing!

Looking forward to the artwork on this though

Warner Bros never license their titles, so any Dog Day Afternoon steelbook would be released by them

You beat me to the punch.

Nice! Another MoC Steel! I just got Nosferatu in the mail today, and it's beautiful!

they already released very popular movies like metropolis, double indemnity, touch of evil and nosferatu. they're all really big hits and a lot more mainstream than serpico is so i wouldn't worry about this.

They're certainly more revered by film pseuds, but you're crazy if you think German silent movies from the 1920s are more mainstream than Serpico!

This is great news, Serpico is a brilliant movie, must buy for me.

 

[Ashisarobot]

Brilliant news!

Fantastic film and I'm sure MOC will do the film justice!

Okay, after my recent problems with pre-ordered titles dropping in price just after release, I've decided this will be the only one of the Eureka titles I'm gonna actually pre-order. I'd like Wake In Fright, Computer Chess and White Dog but I can wait to see those. Serpico I already know and love, and would welcome an upgrade from my DVD copy. Plus, being a single-disc steelbook it shouldn't have too much problem with pre-order prices (I hope...£24.99 on Amazon is a bit heavy going to start with).

Day one for me. Special features seem to be identical to the Warner release. That W.Bros. disc got a high rating over at blu-ray.com in the A/V dept. so fingers crossed MOC do it justice too. Can't wait to see the artwork!

I don't hate the amaray artwork but I do hope they do something slightly different, at least make it work with the steelbook.

White Dog is an absolute masterpiece in my opinion.

Make sure you snap it up at some point!

That wouldn't look right. MoC steels look classy and unique because of the vintage artwork and unusual coloring they use. No debossing/embossing is required

Agreed! Keep the trend going, especially with those booklets

call me crazy than, ask 1000 people who saw nosferatu and who saw serpico and u will see a nearly flawless victory and even the people who don't saw nosferatu, knowing it indirectly from one of the 100000x references in other movies and series, it have a huge influences and thats what i call mainstream while serpico is only well known for fans of the genre and al pacino lovers.

 

[rapta]

I really hope they don't bail on this...I can feel some snooty cinephiles wanting something else as a steelbook, but I'm all game for this. Wasn't fussed for Red River before so didn't mind it going but Nosferatu is a very, very underrated steelbook so far!

Serpico is now my most anticipated steelbook release for the new year (as well as Captain Phillips and The Killing Fields) - not sure about Invasion Of The Body Snatcher, Big Trouble In Little China or Tenebrae myself but can definitely see the appeal. Brazil I'd like to get but £16 is way too high for a catalogue title.
