Don't collect many steelbooks, but this looks as excellent as BBY's exclusive Ghost in the Shell 4K steelbook. Definitely getting it.

Its 7 Samurai in Color, with a touch of Rashomon, and with Shakespere seasonings.

I just made that up but I think I'm close...and 4k gets this up to film grade I'd imagine. If you're gonna watch it there's no other way.

Damn that steel is gorgeous, I just bought the 4k digital... I will gladly add this to my collection. Bought 4 Kurosawa films during the criterion sale so far, haven't had time to watch this one yet!

I am officially extinguishing the torch I’ve been carrying in hopes of Criterion regaining the rights for a new Blu disc and will absolutely be getting this instead.

Criterion has been impotent for a good 5 years. Let's not bring it up

With the release so close I really don't want to cancel. Lionsgate usually has rock-bottom prices, maybe a double-dip for the steel won't hurt so bad.

But he has no credibility, after posting numerous fake covers and misinformation about titles that never came.

On the art front at least, those fake covers use existing art. This piece is actually uses original art never seen before as well as giving us a street date making it likely real versus just saying something like coming 2021 or 2022.

As for him being credible or not, people follow him for a reason. They have been wrong plenty of times, but most of their info has been correct, otherwise their account would be useless.

Either way, Ran seems like something that is happening.

The clear slips are a Lionsgate thing, so Ran should come with one. I'm totally on board for this one.

I agree with most people when they criticize the encoding of criterion, but I buy their movies because it’s the easiest way to watch them for me and I love their special features.

Rizor · 07-11-2021, 02:11 PM

Surprised about a US release (where's Basic Instinct?), but the artwork is a little radical to me. I've already got the UK release pre-ordered, may cancel and go for this if the 4K release is only going to be available as a steelbook store exclusive like Dirty Dancing was.

They do have a lot of the classics no doubt. I've bought my fair share. I agree.

El Sleezo · 07-11-2021, 03:23 PM

Think it's happening. While I personally would've liked more subtle art, GeekGab would've made up something that makes the worst Shout Factory covers blush.

MifuneFan · 07-11-2021, 04:27 PM

I can't imagine this is the only 4K release here. Pretty sure they'll do a regular one too, probably a BD only release as well here.

"Credibility"? Really? The guy who claims that he was "Voted #1 Industry Insider by Blu-ray.com Members" has very little credibility. Plus, he makes up most of his stuff and passes it off as fact. The stuff he makes up can be mistaken as credible because he has gotten some stuff right. He also blocks people who call him on his BS, even when he says that he doesn't. He has blocked me for calling him out for stealing Tyrok's pics. This guy is a scumbag, but people eat his BS up like it was going out of style.

Does this mean you the uk releases disc might be region free for the bd? Prefer the art on that to this or the reg Lionsgate.
