I mean literally, they did this for the 4K amaray cover, why didn't they just copy and paste on the SteelBook.



Edgar Wright is pretty active/responsive on Twitter... I feel like we all need to just flog him with how outraged we are at the artwork.

Some people will never understand that the inferior art is always given to the WWA SteelBooks and the amaray always gets the better art (often the poster art).

SteelBooks and amarays never receive the same art.

That's what I have.
I just wish it had art-work on the inside, then it'd be perfect.

I tinkered around with making an insert for it, but I don't know if I did it correctly. Even if I did, I don't think I'd risk ruining my SteelBook.

I vastly prefer this one, personally.



I'll be adding the 4K disc to it.

Yeah, let us harass the director who likely has little or zero say in the artwork for this instead of...wait for it...not buying it and moving on with your life.

Do you mean putting the 4K disc in there? I've left a message on the forums asking how many people do this as I'm not sure how I feel about it as it's not an official release anymore if you do it, it's just a mix n match.

I think if that cover on the slip had been a steelbook I'd of bought that and sold the Steelbook I have now.

Pretty sure he had a big part in getting the video game re-released, as well as the 10th anniversary showing in theaters, 10th anniversary soundtrack repressing, and likely this 4K release. I think he's like to know about a shoddily packaged release of his movie.

I see no issue with that at all. I keep the steel I prefer and get a 4K disc to store it in. If you refer to my collection link, you'll see I even have a category entitled "Steelbooks Housing 4K Discs."

To each their own, I know, but the entirety of my "owned" 4K collection category is stored in previously released BD steelbooks.

Nice colors but meh artwork means pass, especially if it's a wide release.

That is a horrible choice for the steelbook. YIKES.
I'll just go for the slipcover release.

I can't decide which Steelbook art looks worse, this or Snatch.

It could have been worse. Edgar Wright's brother could have designed it.

I would have liked to seen them turn this hardbox design into a Steelbook.
