I hate this lazy effort of simply using a nice full colour photograph on the cover.

Moviefan1203 · 12-07-2013, 10:42 AM

Sharp looking steelbook, definitely looking to pick this one up. One of Pacino's finest moments.

Filmbloke · 12-07-2013, 10:51 AM

He's great in this, only upstaged by his incredible headgear!

That's the poster art. It's what a lot of people (including myself) would want.

It's a revisionist version of the poster art.

lateralspin · 12-07-2013, 10:19 PM

The original poster artwork is meant to be posterized into three bands of yellow, green and cyan

MifuneFan · 12-07-2013, 10:28 PM

^Exactly. Eureka took it upon themselves to change it to a standard photo because they thought the original was ugly. Complete revisionism.

Filmbloke · 12-07-2013, 11:07 PM

I hope they change it to the original art... More in keeping with a Masters of Cinema release! Not saying it's ugly, I like it, but a photo on the front looks odd. Day 1 either way!

GxyExpress999 · 12-08-2013, 01:01 AM

Easy pass for me, if they don't go with the original art.

stephenwilson04 · 12-08-2013, 06:45 AM

Here's what is should be (standard case version). I said in the MoC thread that it was the wrong way to go, changing it because they found the original colours horrible. And I think I was right, the steelbook looks plain and dull. Bad decision on Euraka's part.

lateralspin · 12-08-2013, 06:57 AM

Well, I agree, I find the original colours horrible. Makes it look like a Predator movie.

Moviefan1203 · 12-08-2013, 11:39 AM

They made a very smart change. The original poster is HIDEOUS.

tenia · 12-08-2013, 04:00 PM

Original poster is horrendous.
New colour artwork is awfully dull, and actually looks like what Eureka was ranted against lately (bland screencap + title slapped under it).

Should have commissionned a complete original new artwork, like they did perfectly so many times before.

With the matte finish they use, a SteelBook with the original image would/could easily be the best MoC SteelBook to date.

I stand corrected.

Exactamundo!

I am glad they changed it, the steelbook looks nice.
