Looks very similar to those 4K Carpenter editions StudioCanal did, so hopefully the steelbook will also tie in with their steels too and use the same silhouette style art.

The John Carpenter 4K UHD Collector's editions (The Fog/They Live/Escape from New York/Prince of Darkness) are getting a re-release likely in September

Yes it matches the studiocanal releases this was done on purpose so they do match the previous collector's editions

That should make a lot of people happy... I know they can go for crazy money on eBay! Even been tempted to sell mine tbh lol.

Oh that’s a downer if the steelbook matches those other 4. I do like like that style (I don’t have those 4 but I do have his 4 MCU in the same style) but I’d prefer something meatier. Like that art he did for the German mediabook. Or even this slip art

Just a question about Studio Canal’s re-releases in September:- Does anybody know if the 4k disc of “The Fog” will be cleaned up? Has that issue been rectified for the re-release? If i remember correctly, there were alot of complaints about the image quality of that 4k transfer, particularly the darker scenes…..of which there are many.
 
Can anyone here assist me in getting one of these? Zavvi appears to have sold out, and HMV and EE won't ship to the USA.

nevermind, picked one up from ebay.
