The Green Mile (1999) 15th Anniversary Edition - Warner - 10th Nov 2014

[samdvd1]

Anyone know if new extra features are coming? Previous release is pretty extensive already.

[MifuneFan]

This will likely be a Diamond Luxe Edition. I believe the others that the US are getting are also being released the same day.

[Sinthetic]

It is Diamond Luxe. All Zavvi exclusives.

[samdvd1]

Ah. Well seems Zavvi are sold out, so I've dipped out.

No mate, they haven't gone live yet! Plenty of time to get them when they are available in the next few weeks.

Love the film and love Struzan's artwork on the packaging.

this along with 4 other Diamond Luxe blu-rays will be on sale at Best Buy 9-30 $16.99 each

[FastAndFluid]

This title has already been issued in so many formats it's ridiculous. Digibook version was fine after two previous editions. Don't need yet another one. Endless recycling of the same old stuff.

Looking forward to getting this. By all accounts these new NEO cases are the dogs nuts.

Some marketing blurb

The Diamond Luxe (WB) or Magno (Sony) is a completely new type of collectible disc package. Pictures and video can’t do it justice. The trade name is actually NEO™. I invented NEO™ along with PixelChrome™ the hyper glossy/ reflective specialty graphic substrate that it is constructed from, about 18 months ago here in my Los Angeles design studio not far from Sony Pictures. SPE is releasing the first example of NEO with Amazing Spiderman 2 at Best Buy on 8/19. The finished composite material is .100” thick and is made up of approximately 15 layers of stuff.

It took about a year to refine the product to within NASA tolerances and build the equipment that makes the revolutionary manufacturing process possible. One of the key challenges was to create a precision snap fit for the disc without using a hub. The case is kept securely closed with dual neodymium magnets embedded in the material.

NEO is being manufactured by DISC, the specialty packaging company that I work for, in Long Island, NY. More images and a decent 3D animation of NEO can be found here: neobluray.com. My goal was to create a completely new solution, capable of displaying celebrated imagery in the richest way possible, to create a case that is cinematic, timeless, and obscures the artwork as little as possible (both inside and out). No hubs, no trays, no borders, no cloudy plastic to look through. I also wanted it to be made from anything other than cheap molded plastic or recycled tin cans. Great movies deserve better! Not to slight Steelbooks etc, it is a great product and is still a good fit for some titles, but it is well past a decade old. I have also observed over and over that printing on recycled scrap metal drives people in this business crazy with its limitations and poor color consistency. I once heard an art director at one of the studios say that tin printing should be reserved for lunchboxes and vintage toys! I don't think that's true but I understand her frustration. Anyway I hope that collectors enjoy having something new to experience. In the wide world of commercial graphic art, I can’t think of a better place to be making a contribution

There's a thread dedicated to them here.

Well, I'm buying this for the bonus disc, and I may have to get the others to complete the set

[Sinthetic]

Live now along with all the others.

[rapta]

I was planning on upgrading my copy of The Green Mile anyway, but I dunno if I'll pay £16 for it. I'll wait to see if it's on offer at some point. Interested in Gremlins too and possibly Ben-Hur (if they're doing that in the UK)?

[DaveSimonH]

Is it getting a new transfer, or is it jut more extras, digipak etc?
