Yeah I know and I'm not a fan of pop art in general, but I'll probably get it mostly for the 4K.

DK1979 · 06-26-2017, 12:32 AM

Oh mannnn that's rather disappointing

No way is that old stuff actually the art for this? Talk about disappointing.

Metal Gear · 06-26-2017, 01:40 AM

They had excess steelbooks unsold so they had to recycle them with 4k this time

That ↑ makes total perfect financial savings sense.

Brian81 · 06-26-2017, 01:55 AM

No steelbook for me!

DK1979 · 06-26-2017, 02:07 AM

I want the 4k disc but already have the first popart.. might aswell just keep my preorder up for the steelbook since it's the same price as the regular 4k release

Hopefully i can pawn the old of on somebody else..

Blufury · 06-26-2017, 03:02 AM

Disappointing. Was hoping to ditch my pop art for a nicer steelbook. Preorder canceled.

drumass · 06-26-2017, 05:55 AM

Who makes these desicions?

reewinder · 06-26-2017, 06:01 AM

Boooooo! What a disappointment. I didn't want the popart before and I certainly don't want it now. No wonder they waited this long before updating the artwork on their webpage.

danny24 · 06-26-2017, 12:16 PM

Well same artwork as the pop art steel but this houses 2 discs. So it looks to be a new pressing with same artwork but still really lazy of them. I have the popart steel so I may just go with the regular 4K release since the artwork is different.

I honestly believe that Sony intentionally likes to be disliked!!!

Amy pascal and Tim Rothman are the two biggest idiots in Hollywood and live off the tears of movie fans. We need Kaz to come over from japan and run shit himself.

d6a4s5 · 06-26-2017, 04:49 PM

That is a big disappointment...it was one of the worst Pop Art Steelbook covers, why recycle it?

This print by Craig Drake would have been nice…

lethalkrs · 06-26-2017, 05:36 PM

Was looking forward to this until seeing that they are reusing the old artwork! Fail!!

I really could not comprehend how he lasted as long he did at Fox, and I still don't know why she still employed at Sony.

Samus Aran · 06-26-2017, 05:58 PM

Well I never bought the previous steelbook so I guess I'm fine buying this one. Indifferent to the cover art.

Hollywood is weird. Actors and directors hit a slump and their careers are in jeopardy. Executives screw up and they just get the same job at another studio.

The sad thing is there are a dozen Tom Rothman types out there.

LordoftheRings · 06-26-2017, 07:20 PM

Some of you here are a demanding clientele, and for good artistic reason too; I don't blame you. If they want to succeed in life (4K, 3D and all), they have to create motivation, like they did before with 3D TVs, and affordable plasma TVs, and Panasonic with FOX and Cameron's Avatar exclusive alliance.

Sony's people (many quit), are not into pleasing, they're into maximizing profits @ any cost. If you studied Sony's history you'll find more lawsuits from stealing other's patents than any other companies, right ahead of FOX studios. Lol

Yup, 5th Element.

Yes, Big Badda Boom is very funny/cute.

I knew the other was a WEA steelbook, I see it's from Kimchidvd. They won't likely let that get reused !
