Looks like they've broken one Steelbook rule though....printed BBFC Certificate

Where's the announcement?

All the details are on their main website at the moment but the Cult-Labs announcements I'm sure will follow soon enough, they tweeted the links.

Arrow Video: The King of New York [Limited Edition SteelBook]

Must add that I think the artwork is amazing, Steelbook collectors are gonna go nuts for this I reckon.

The Blu-ray banner is a sticker so completely removable!

What about the specs on the back, are they printed on the Steel or will there be a card on the back leaving the steel with some nice artwork? What about internal art too? God I sound like such a loser right now

Damn it, a title I have no interest in!

I don't give a damn about this being a steelbook, having the BBFC logo on the front, and maybe even printed specs on the back - it's an Abel Ferrara flick, and it's a Blu-ray!

A nice and unexpected choice, Arrow - this will be my third Blu-ray steelbook!
Edit: I've just realised that there will also be a 4-panel + poster release of this - so it won't be the (admittedly very cute!) steelbook for me.


Greetings!

Whaaaat? Why haven't you seen this film? This nearly always makes my top 10 films of all time. Walken gives a powerhouse performance that's both captivating and terrifying. It's an outstanding gangster film and easily ranks alongside the likes of Scorcese, De Palma and Coppola's best. Don't miss this film, it's truly magnificent.

I'll be getting this pre-ordered as soon as it goes up, I've been waiting for a UK BD release (the US release is region-locked).

My thoughts also. It looks awesome the red steelbook, but its not a title I'll buy as I don't like the film. Wait before I am stoned....I said I don't like the film, I didn;t say it wasn't good.
