Artwork not final

rickah88 · 02-20-2014, 03:28 PM

I do like my SDCC slipcover edition, but this could have some potential!

*PREACHER* · 02-20-2014, 03:29 PM

Awesome....another great classic that i hope is the final artwork!

MifuneFan · 02-20-2014, 04:17 PM

All of the artwork being shown for these Fox steels should be final.

thewerepuppygrr · 02-23-2014, 07:44 PM

I actually like this one.

Icemouth · 02-24-2014, 05:12 AM

I was afraid it was going to be the garbage remake

tru blu · 03-01-2014, 12:27 PM

Ordered. I love the front artwork.

MattvonSyborg · 03-02-2014, 01:06 AM

Love this movie but don't like the artwork. The complete opposite of how I feel about the Mars Attacks steel then. Ah well, it's not like there's a lack of releases to spend money on at the moment

It's the original version.

I almost soiled myself when I saw this was going to be in steelbook format.
Then I saw the cover and almost vomited, what a terrible looking steelbook.

I hate when both of those things happen at the same time!

However, I'm kinda diggin' the look of the steel for this one. Looks very 50's low-budget.

Spiderwalk · 03-05-2014, 01:22 PM

I feel that all of the upcoming Steelbooks from Fox are awful, with Vanishing Point being the only exception.

This film is very elegant compared to some of the more trashy 50's B movies, it deserves a cover worthy of its status. They could of learned a thing or two from the people who designed the Forbidden Planet Steelbook, now that is a thing of beauty.

Can anyone in the UK ship me an Alien, Alien 3, and Fargo steelbook? I'm located in the U.S. and have great trade score on this website!

Why not buy yourself from Amazon.co.uk
Would be cheaper for you to buy yourself as Amazon deduct the 20% VAT for US buyers so even adding shipping is cheaper than for those of us in the UK to buy.

What Malay said. Just go to amazon.co.uk, log in with your amazon us credentials and order away. For US people we get to deduct VAT (tax) so most times the price you see on the website is what it would be minus VAT and including shipping.

Ashamed Pegasus · 03-22-2014, 09:36 PM

I like the artwork on this one. Just a shame they don't release more Sci-Fi/Horror movies in Steelbooks from the 40's-60's.

Brian81 · 03-22-2014, 10:36 PM

I don't like this one. One part of me likes it - it looks like something from a Halloween episode of The Simpsons (with the aliens)...but another part of me hates for the same reason I like it. MGM needs to look at Warner did for Forbidden Planet.
