The Elephant Man 4K UHD (1980) (40th Anniversary Edition)

[andreasy969]

Pre-ordered the French one instead. Much cheaper and appears to be a steelbook: https://4k-ultra-hd.fr/film-blu-ray-...phant-man.html

I saw that, don't need the tat and am running low on shelf space. Would arrive only damaged here anyway. SC 4K steels for me.

That's how I feel yea. The anti-HDR thing is getting old, it's all conjecture. HDR on Elephant Man really says otherwise and I don't think he would have been involved if it was forced.

day one purchase for me, but thats a pretty ugly cover. Not the image itself, but all the unnecessary clutter around it.

Is there any reason why this is £35? Doesn’t even include the CD like The Deer Hunter. Still, very very tempted.

I'm guessing perhaps banking that Lynch fans will pay a premium? probably why they've bothered to do flashier packaging.

I would say that whilst it isn't my favourite Lynch it is the film of his I'd be most interested to see in 4k, not sure I'd bother to upgrade studio channel Mulholland BR.

Heads up, that one is only 2 disks. The UK one is 3.

Still says 3 discs on amazon.fr: https://www.amazon.fr/Elephant-Man-4...s%2C246&sr=8-1

Other than that, the one thing that may actually sway me here, is an ugly cover, but it's still not up.

Just preordered from Diabolik also. The price is pretty steep at $53.00 with shipping.

Worth every cent for the peace of mind knowing that case is not going to get crushed during shipping.

Those Studio Canal L.E. are easily damaged.

also it is paid for and done.

And it doesn't seem to be the case - I'm sure the French one will be the same. Very nice.

I'm tempted to get both steelbooks because I also like the cover of the French one.

No need to. As I said: Both will (most likely) be the same. I'm actually rather sure by now: https://www.dvdfr.com/dvd/f300525-elephant-man.html (The previous images for the French steel were just obvious mocks, using old Elephant Man steel artwork.)

Cancelled my pre-order on Zavvi for the 3 disc set and got the steelbook. Saves me £10 and it’s a beauty!

Ah. Okay. Good to know.
