Zavvi has SW The Last Jedi steels up for pre-order. Separate 3D and 4K.

Don't waste your money!

Best Buy has announced their steel books (Art will be the same as Zavvi)...but of course, haven't announced a 3D version yet. Disney will probably release a 3D version later to make us double dip.

Ordered!

 

[Sweet Rabbit]

That was fast!

Zavvi usually has the POs up when the movies hit theaters

 

[The Ween]

Ordered!

I ordered the 3D from Zavvi. I'll get the 4K from Best Buy.

3D was a$$ in TLJ. Just a money grab if I am honest.

3D was disappointing

 

[CallMeTheDoctor]

Certainly was. Only good shot was Holdo going into lightspeed.

I'll just get the 4k.

 

[rushmore223]

TFA had some truly impressive 3D moments, for TLJ, I could barely tell it was in 3D.

I felt the same way about Blade Runner 2049, guess studios just aren't trying nymore.

 

[Khev]

Yeah can't say I really noticed the 3D in TLJ either, especially compared to TFA which was great.

I think for the 3D to be really good, it has to be shot in 3D

 

[CallMeTheDoctor]

JJ will do it service for IX. That MF chase in TFA is spectacular.

 

[jye4ever]

Yeah TLJ 3D was a fail.

Only Snoke’s ship was impressive in 3D and it was really impressive in 3D.

Cross posting, but IT seems appropriate:

For those planning on picking up the Blu-Ray when it's released in January, be advised a Director's Cut is forthcoming...

Earlier this year, IT director Andy Muschietti noted that an extended Director’s Cut of this year’s hit horror film, running approximately 15-minutes longer than the theatrical version, was headed to home video. Alas, when next month’s DVD/Blu-ray/4K Ultra HD release was announced, it was sadly without any sign of the Director’s Cut.

Mind you, the home video release will be packed with eleven Deleted/Extended scenes, including an alternate gag opening, but what about that promised extended cut?

We reached out to Muschietti on Instagram earlier today, asking him if that planned Director’s Cut was still on the menu. “Yes, but in a few months,” he replied.

From what we gather, the Director’s Cut of IT will have all of those deleted/extended scenes put back into it, and we can’t help but wonder if that already infamous “Pennywise eats a baby” scene, absent from next month’s discs, will also be included in the extended version. We’re thinking that scene, and perhaps others, are being held back for the Director’s Cut release in the coming months, as added double dip incentives.

For now, IT can be digitally purchased TODAY, December 19.

IT then arrives on 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray Combo Pack/Blu-ray Combo Pack/DVD on January 9, 2018. Best Buy will be getting an exclusive Steelbook, while Target is getting their own version that includes a lenticular cover and “Welcome to Derry” postcards.


Special Features include:
Pennywise Lives! – Discover how Bill Skarsgård prepared to portray the primordial creature known as Pennywise the Dancing Clown

The Losers’ Club – Get up close and personal with the teenage stars of “IT” as they bond together during the production,

Author of Fear – Stephen King reveals the roots of his best-selling novel, the nature of childhood fear and how he created his most famous monster, Pennywise

Deleted Scenes – Eleven deleted or extended scenes from the film

 

[jimjimmyjones85]

Cool. I can wait.

 

[CallMeTheDoctor]

January isn't a busy month for me, so I may double dip. I did enjoy this film quite a bit.

 

[The Ween]

I doubt the director's cut will have a steelbook, so if you collect those then I'd get it now. I'll pass for now.

 

[jimjimmyjones85]

I tend to put less emphasis on the whole package thing now. I just tend to want the best version.

Gonna buy the flying nun edition TLJ
