The Wicker Man (1973) Steelbook (Zavvi Exclusive) (UK)

The Wicker Man (1973) - Zavvi Exclusive



Released 14th October 2013. Limited to 4,000 copies.

£14.99 and available to pre-order.

This'll be the first release of the original film on blu-ray (though I assume a regular release will be out at the same time) which makes it extra exciting.

I would love this

I rarely say such things, but I WANT this!

Kind of an odd/random choice for a steelbook, especially considering there isn't a regular release of the movie in the UK. The other Zavvi Exclusives all had prior releases I believe. Didn't care much for this movie (the remake is hilarious though) but I'm interested to see what it looks like.

That artwork is sensational, I'm really wanting this already and it's a long wait yet

Thanks - have updated the original post.

That artwork is fantastic. So glad they went with something iconic.

Incredible!

Nice, now they just need to make it go live. I am guessing since this is Studiocanal it will be region locked. should not be a problem for me since I plan on getting a region free BD player in the coming months, but I figured I would throw that out there for people who may not have a region free player.

That cover is fantastic.

I would rather stare at it for 2 hours than watch the Nicolas Cage version ever again.

Was hoping that would be the case - that seals it as an absolute 100% buy for me then.

To be honest I would have paid the £19.99 but this obviously makes it better. Wonder when it can be purchased if the release date is October?

Personally not keen on a general thread as updates on specific releases can be lost. So will be making sure individual release threads are kept very much alive

It depends if an amaray release was announced as well - that would have made me think about spending £20 on a steelbook. But £15? As I'd happily spend that on the amaray for this film then the steelbook is a definite.

I would imagine it would go up for pre-order at the weekend. Probably Sunday. Just going by the other Zavvi steelbooks though.

Agreed - great thread for those who want it but I don't want to feel I have to check-in and wade though the chat to find out about new releases. Individual threads are much better for me.
