Details from the page:

Francis Ford Coppola’s 1974 seminal neo-noir thriller The Conversation symbolizes the uneasy line between technology and privacy — a topic more relevant than ever today. Nominated for three Academy Awards® and winner of the prestigious 1974 Cannes Film Festival Palme d’Or, this harrowing psychological-thriller stars Gene Hackman alongside Cindy Williams, Frederic Forrest, and Harrison Ford, and is regarded as one of Coppola’s greatest films. Harry Caul (Hackman) is a surveillance expert in San Francisco whose routine wiretapping job turns into a nightmare when he hears something disturbing in his recording of a couple — something a lot more important than adulterous goings-on. His investigation of the tape and how it might be used sends Harry spiraling into a web of secrecy, murder, and paranoia.

Ordered this faster than you can say “Megalopolis.”

[Darth Marcus]

Anybody know any codes??? It’s nearly $100 with shipping.

[jeffarent]

$80? Screw that

[NY2112]

Damn it, why can’t it just be the steelbook. I’m not overpaying for this bulky set.

[FlamedLiquid]

Yah if it was just a steelbook for like $40 I'd bite. That's a bit much.

More like $90+ after tax and the $8 flat shipping rate

If only it included the unofficial sequel Enemy of the State 4K bonus disc

I literally just got the Studio Canal regular version with a nice slip, and wondered if Lionsgate would do a steel with such cool artwork. But damn that box set price!

I just watched the 4k of The Conversation this weekend, and always think of Enemy Of The State at the end. Would love a 4k upgrade of that. I love that Tony Scott snuck in a picture of Harry Caul in the movie too!

Agreed! The theory is that Brill is Caul. But unless Gene spills the beans we will never know.

[Rizor]

Hmm. Paid a similar price for the UK edition. Probably should just keep that, bit it didn't have the steelbook!

That's ridiculous!

I hope this isn't something new LG is going to do going forward

[Mariah007]

So glad I didnt get the studiocanal edition!

[Usure]

will get, but these prices beginning to get out of hand.

[RevolverOcelScott]

Yep, want this, but not paying nearly $100.

[Danespina]

Haha this included cassette is awesome.

[Bobafett345]

I love me some premium goodness...but unless Harry is going to meet up with me to personally hand off this merchandise, this is a bit too steep.

When I heard Lionsgate was going to start their own store, I wasn't thinking it will be just a cash in on the premium market.

I'm sure they'll eventually release a standard edition, or maybe even a cheaper SteelBook. They should've done what the labels that sell those expensive sets do, release multiple editions at the same time so everyone can buy the edition they like.

Don’t know what the free shipping threshold is since there are only two items available for purchase, but I ordered this with the Apocalypse Now steelbook and I got free shipping, FWIW.
