Yes! Was hoping for one,

ryanlovesmovies · 07-15-2013, 06:28 PM

This has the potential to be a stunning Steelbook, if it follows the poster artwork. I hope all the art deco design elements are embossed

DJJez · 07-15-2013, 06:29 PM

according to amazon this will include the 3d version as well. hopefully all future UK steelbook releases will now come with 3d

No idea why 3d makes sense for this one....

bam777 · 07-17-2013, 04:40 AM

My favorite film of the year. I wish I could pre-order this already.

It was filmed with 3D in mind. It's the director's preferred way to watch the film. It may not be something you'd choose but it makes sense that it's included in the steelbook.

DrewPa · 07-17-2013, 08:02 AM

I hope the Artwork will be something like the Soundtrack CD one!

GreenGaijin · 07-17-2013, 08:23 AM

Think I'll pass on this one, but I hope they come out with slipcover that goes nicely with the Romeo & Juliet and Moulin Rouge ones from 20th Century Fox.

I suspect marketing. The budget for this drama was more than expected and Warners anticipated 40% of the takings would be for the 3D release (when they were actually less than a third Warners said "female viewers are more discerning of 3D"). Mark Kermode said the film was like having the book shouted at you. The car ride is overdone to the point of absurdity and the wraparound is stupid but that's not to say its a bad film, DiCaprio turns in a typically good performance and the film is very much in keeping with Luhrman's others, so if you like those you won't be disappointed. If it induces some people to read the book, then its all to the good.

Nope, it was Luhrmann's choice. I don't doubt Warners were happy with the extra 3D dollars but it was his creative choice to film it in 3D. Looking at his previous films - especially Moulin Rouge - you can see why the format would appeal to him.

Whether it worked for the film or not is a different debate and one that varies to personal taste but certainly the reason it's in 3D is down to the director's creative vision for the film.

It's Baz Luhrman....I can't think of a director BETTER suited to 3D

Judging from the US artwork, and since this a Warner release, I wouldn't hold out much hope for that. I would love it to happen, but I doubt it.

It should at least have a slipcase though, so that's a start.
