It's the same cover as the German release. But with the same spine as the MediumRare art, and BBFC logos on the spine as well.

Scottishguy · 06-14-2021, 08:49 PM

Yeah this is one solid presentation. No monkeying around.

Got the making of on.

"Medium Rare Presents"

Zavvi accepted my preorder but did not ship to me on release date. Status is now saying "awaiting stock". I am afraid I will miss out as this is limited to 5000. Is it common for Zavvi to take more orders than they have and cancel later? I might have to act fast and pay more to secure a copy from ebay before too late.

I highly doubt 5000 copies have went already.

I think I can live without the LE, I don't need a pressbook

It’s not a press book. It’s the souvenir programme originally sold in cinemas on first release. Common in the days of roadshow presentations.

Nice set, it was a blind buy for me, I wasn't overly impressed with the film itself apart from the battle was amazingly filmed.

i thought the PQ looked great though.

Zavvi had sent the rest of my order except this one. It is now marked as sold out and not taking further orders so I am a bit worry. Anyone got their copy from Zavvi shipped yet?

Check out the misspelling of Steiger on the back cover of the slip case! Careless on someone's part!

The poster and lobby cards are pretty stunning. The pressbook is actually more a souvenir programme you could guy in the lobby, and the set was £19, a lot less than a comporable hard box LE from other companies. Only a few pounds more than a regular edition.

France has fallen.

Far as I can tell, not expert on this kind of thing, this release has the same transfer as the german release. As well as the booklet and cards, it also has more extras.

It's the same transfer, but far better handled.

grahams76 · 06-17-2021, 10:35 AM

German will be uncut though.

Spud_Almighty · 06-17-2021, 04:23 PM

I've got the German copy. Is it worth picking up? Great fun.

jwp7d · 06-20-2021, 12:17 AM

How does this compare to the Imprint Australian release?

I’m not. Stephen King fans felt it left much to be desired in the adaptation, plus Jack Nicholson going so over the top put many off.
