The one with Nic Cage was easily one of the worse movies I've seen ....

Listing up on Zavvi, due October 14th:

http://www.zavvi.com/blu-ray/the-wicker-man-zavvi-exclusive-limited-edition-steelbook/10793623.html

NOT AVAILABLE TO PRE-ORDER YET

Surprisingly it is appearing in their search results despite displaying 'sold out'. Maybe it's a glitch or maybe Zavvi are going to do something about this whole 'sold out' thing.

 

[hayemaker]

Please allow me to be the first person to say "sold out already?" and "£19.99 WTF"

 

[Parkman]

Ill second that

 

[snooloui]

Something else to note: Zavvi Exclusive Limited to 3000 copies.

Artwork:

 

[Naughtius Maximus]

oOo not what i expected! Creepy looking

 

[SimonLDT]

Stunning artwork right there.

 

[rsf986]

I really like the art on that

 

[gitsurfer]

Stunning! I wonder what the exact finish will be like. Not sure it would suit embossing but some glossiness might be nice.

Really hope the disc matches the quality of the steel!

 

[zoneism]

Really liking that artwork. Here's hoping for a good finish too

 

[gitsurfer]

Thinking about the £19.99 price tag: is this just Zavvi taking the opportunity to make more money in the light of what Roger Rabbit was selling for on ebay? Alternatively, is this a sign that The Wicker Man will just be a higher content release with a more pricey amaray version as well? There is plenty of scope for masses of content with multiple cuts and docs spread over 2 discs.

EDIT: I notice Wreck now has this as £14.99 in the opening post. Perhaps this is what we'll actually be seeing when it goes live.

 

[Shanester]

Really liking that artwork. Here's hoping for a good finish too

+1 A shiny glossy would be perfect

 

[spartan]

Looks amazing. I am in

 

[Hooch]

Wow, what a beauty! Been a while since I saw this one...real creepy movie and not the kind you see now and then, but a classic all the same!

 

[Sigill]

Added link and artwork to OP. This is also showing up as £14.99 now.

I woudn't read too much into it bud

Looks to me like Zavvi taking the opportunity to list the product with a holding price of £19.99, to drop down to £14.99 when it goes live

 

[SimonLDT]

This definitely needs a glossy finish to make it complete (I'd also deboss the title if I had the choice).

 

[snooloui]

Well Withnail and I is a StudioCanal release isn't it? That will be embossed supposedly, so there's a decent chance this will be too

 

[Andy CYP]

Not a bad looking steel at all. And the 3k availability will make this very desirable.

 

[snowblood]

That artwork is beautiful, Great art for a great film
