If this is the same, or better looking than the UK release, I will def cancel that pre-order. I'm assuming this will be a Lionsgate release, and they may do something different.

The only difference will probably be a scaled down release in comparison to the UK judging by the price.

I'll dig through previous StudioCanal Lionsgate ports and see what they dropped from each release.

PNguyen · 08-23-2023, 03:59 PM

so far Angel Heart has ported over every special feature, can't find anything on Man Who Fell to Earth, can anyone confirm if the same special features from StudioCanal is on the US disc too? I know Ran US discs dropped most of the special features that are on the StudioCanal discs.

trip66 · 08-23-2023, 04:37 PM

The UK collectors edition is a whopping 5 discs (1 disc being a CD of cover songs of the soundtrack). I do not know what will be in the steelbook version of The Wicker Man, but I will assume it will drop the CD.

The upcoming BestBuy steelbook of The Mist 4K has 4 discs, so its possible that both the UK and US steelbook of The Wicker Man can have 4 discs.

There are 4 disc steelbooks, as I have the Japanese 4K steelbook for Blade Runner that has the two traditional trays, and a double sided flip tray in the middle. Seems to be a new steelbook design that I've never seen before.

Any evidence the US will get a non-steelbook edition? Held off on buying the UK release in hopes it would happen

The StudioCanal MWFTE special features were in fact all carried over to the US 4k steelbook, which in turn were ported over from Lionsgate's original MWFTE special edition blu from 2017. So, that's a good sign...but since there seem to be examples that both support and contradict previous practices, I suppose all we really know for sure right now is that anything is possible one way or the other. :/

Pre-ordered. The original Wicker Man in a 4K steelbook for $22? It's going to sell like crazy.

Artwork is up now and says "The Final Cut Reborn in Glorious 4K"

Wow, so worth $22!

PNguyen · 08-23-2023, 07:09 PM

no other cuts, but better steelbook art. I'm torn, I'ma have to buy both.

BluProofie · 08-23-2023, 07:29 PM

I prefer the Final Cut, so I think I’ll cancel my UK order and grab this one. Great price.

SeanJoyce · 08-23-2023, 07:35 PM

Will this be a 4k only, or will a Blu-ray also be included?

FlamedLiquid · 08-23-2023, 09:09 PM

Wicked art. They should do a matching Midsommer steelbook
