I think the price is great - the artwork is brilliant and it's the first time on blu!

 

[manutd123]

very expensive for a 40 yr old movie....

very expensive for a 40 yr old movie....

It's the same price as Raiders of the Lost Ark, which is only a few years younger.

Maybe they cut some of the singing out.

I'd say it's just a bit early to say exactly what will be on this release. It's six months away, after all. I'm not sure how well the extended footage would look in hi-def. If it's too poor then I'd like the extended cut included in SD.

I'm sure I'll be keeping my wooden box DVD regardless. It's just cool!

You've copied the information from bluray.com not from Zavvi's website which doesn't have any details about the disc content. The person who updated the database entry on bluray.com probably knows no more than we do, so I wouldn't trust any of the information on there to be accurate. It's best to wait until we hear/read concrete info before jumping to conclusions

 

[djprodikis]

Anyone from Canada here ordered from Zavvi before ? Was it a good experience ?

 

[maxvelvet]

Beautiful artwork and a great movie, preordered!!!

CHOICE 1

CHOICE 2

CHOICE 3

 

[snooloui]

Choice 1 for me!

 

[wjasoncul]

Choice # 2 please!

 

[Higgser]

I think choice 3 due to the uncomfortableness of the image

 

[Ricker]

I knew people were going to go for the covered up boobies.

 

[hayemaker]

They are all good but it has to be number 1. Christopher Lee has to be involved on this steelbook somewhere.

 

[vurt]

I voted for choice 2!

 

[Andy CYP]

Got to be 1.

 

[Andyington]

I'm thinking 3, When spaced into the inside art it will probably look best.
