C'mon Zavvi, quit stalling and release my Grand Budapest Hotel Steel.

One of my favourite film but this steel ain't my cup of tea. Come Plain archive do one for this master piece !

Uninspiring artwork...

I prefer these better.

And this may work as the back cover?

It's been pretty low on Zavvi for a while, but this is THE lowest price. Also, one of the more handsome steelbooks I've seen. Easy buy.

$8.68 shipped to US

I bought the steelbook recently (Zavvi is taking their sweet little time sending it to my house though) I read it's region locked, any reason why?

Entertainment in Video release (tiny UK distributor)
New Line Cinema published it in the US
New Line Cinema doesn't want people to import steelbook from UK and instead wants customers to buy their release with an even worse looking cover

Sadly New Line isn't the only ones guilty of doing this. And the cover may not be great but I have seen worse. I enjoy the movie and that's the main thing

dcfan88 · 10-20-2016, 08:36 PM

Sadly it is region locked and my Blu-ray player isn't hackable.
I do have a question for anyone who HAS watched this version
The runtime for the US cut is 98 minutes but the UK steelbook says movie is 2hrs. What are the differences between US and UK versions?

Just double checked the Running time of this steelbook and it is 95.41.

dcfan88 · 10-23-2016, 06:07 PM

OK Thanks.

Can someone confirm that the Zavvi steelbook has the same extras as the UK 2009 Entertainment in Video release?

The back of the case seems to suggest it does not have the director's commentary, but only a scene commentary by the director. dvdcompare and dvdbeaver don't explicitly feature it, and Zavvi's website has no details.
