Catch Me If You Can Steelbook (US) - Page 2 - Blu-ray Forum

The whole crossed arms pose is recycled from the original Blu-ray release.

Never a fan of it. Anyone prefer the DVD artwork?

I would completely be fine with this 20th steel if it had the 4K. Hopefully one day we'll get it.

I think Paramount has used the folded arms for every release of the movie in various countries, almost to the point of feeling like they're legally obligated to use it. And funny enough, the poster art above of the chase is predominantly used for nearly all of their DVD releases globally.

I was only giving a few examples of things in the movie which were true. Yes, he worked for over 30 years in the FBI, and it's worth watching these two interviews with him, as you can see how he absolutely commands attention is in incredibly likeable:

Just because the Christopher Walken story and annual Christmas phone calls didn't happen, that doesn't mean nothing in the movie actually happened.

I was being sarcastic. I didn't literally mean nothing. There have been many things said in the past that disputes some of the stuff that occurred in the movie, or even book. I don't for a second think none of what went on in the movie happened in real life, I just think it was the usual Hollywood script/book writing taking liberties with a story to make it sound more interesting. After all, he did title his book.... the amazing TRUE story...... Captain Phillips and The Wolf of Wall Street are among many other examples.

Nonetheless, I love this movie and consider it the second to the last great movie that Spielberg directed (Munich being the last).

Exactly! I prefer with Tom and Leo. Po0p Arts are the worst designs. At least the vector art included in this is actual reels from the movie. Pre-ordered. People expecting too much for $17.99 being 4K? cmon..

was it $17.99 on amazon? now it shows $19.99

Quake1028 · 07-19-2022, 04:42 PM

It was, yeah. Typical Amazon shenanigans.

The "It's not a 4K" comments are insufferable. Oof.

The art makes sense given the opening credits and retro nature of the movie.

I can see why Leo and Hanks are included, but it is a steelbook and not the regular release, fans don't need their faces on it, to recognize it.

Now it is $14.99. I think it's time I upgrade my DVD.

I caved at this price as I have a lot of other Spielberg movies in steelbooks. If a 4K is eventually released, it won’t be in this art again. Which really feels perfect for this movie.

If Wayne's World is any indication, Paramount's 4K re-release for Catch Me If You Can and Mean Girls will just be the same steelbook.

NeilZ · 09-27-2022, 10:33 PM

Pretty sure we’ll get a 4k soon. Paramount did this with some other movies like Wayne’s World (first a steel, then some months later 4k).

I am perfectly fine with that as long as we get it on 4K sometime soon.

Subiestieve · 09-28-2022, 03:32 PM

They got me with the Waynes World, I'll hold out for the 4k here

mysticwaterfall · 09-29-2022, 07:59 PM

No 4K, no buy for me.
