They should just put every release in a blank case with just the title from now on. Then people might actually talk about the movie a bit more than b***hing about the artwork with every new release that comes out. Admittedly it's not great, but is it really the most important aspect of a bluray release?

Whilst it is tempting, my R1 DVD special edition is pretty good.... maybe when it hits the cheapie bin....

It's been out for months in Canada (but open matt 1.78:1) and Holland (but only a BD25, no extras and somewhat expensive). There's no release with the extras. As this film is so great, I was happy to wait.

The UK Warner release is coming in October. It's unlikely to have the digi-book, which is good IMO. They take up too much room. It's only £12.59 from Amazon.co.uk.

It doesn't say if you've managed to bag a very early review copy or the Dutch BD though.

Dammit, why couldn't this come out September 7th? Then that would be awesome! I've never seen the film (stone me now), so I'll probably pick up this digi-book. Never owned a BD digi-book (stone me again), so this is perfect.

What are yez all going on about? The artwork peaked with EIV's first DVD release. It was a ting of baa-yoo-ty.

Have to get this ASAP. No question. Come the release date, getting it will be as automatic as breathing. Has to be done. In fact, it would be a sin not to re-buy this.

Seven is a downer no doubt, but I can watch it again and again. Not the case with Requiem for a Dream. That movie was so damn depressing that I immediately watched Hitchcock's The Lady Vanishes after it. Somehow, the thought of watching a Hitchcock black and white mystery seemed comforting after watching Requiem. I wince even thinking about Requiem!

As for Antichrist, I really don't know if I liked it or didn't. I know I want to watch it again, so I probably liked it. The really unwatchable Von Trier movie is Dogville. Another movie I can never watch cos it is so disturbing. Well, maybe I can watch just the last 10 minutes again!

i love the movie  wont double dip though but i heard of the digibooks
dont own one yet

This release or the Dutch BD?

about effing time!!!  i was seriously just wondering to myself today when this was going to be released on blu.

It's nice to see this will have the features of the 2 disc dvd, the already available blurays (canadian and dutch) don't have any. Though the dutch release does retain the original aspect ratio from what I've read.

Seven is a fantastic movie, I remember the first time I watched it, I was at home watching the dvd on my own. For the moment my 2 disc dvd will suffice but at some point I will get the bluray. In regards to the artwork I'd have gone with the Pitt/Freeman poster, well you can always create and print your own.

I don't know if Im going to get into trouble for posting this, but if anyone wants to hear the original Criterion commentary that was never ported over from the laserdisc, then go here...

This movie is already out on blu-ray and has been for sometime. So if you only care for the movie then it's out there.

I totally agree that that artwork is absolutely hideous.  I know this sounds stupid, but artwork is a huge deal for me.  Maybe it's a psychological thing, I don't know, but if I saw this blu-ray sitting on my shelf with this artwork, it just would never occur to me to watch the film.  There's just something off-putting about it.  However, if it had the artwork of the previous DVD Special Edition and Criterion Laserdisc or (heaven forbid) the VASTLY SUPERIOR original one-sheet that has NEVER been used as a home video cover...I'd be pulling it off my shelf a lot more.  Maybe it makes sense and maybe it doesn't, but artwork does matter.  And this is really atrocious.

What the heck is so wrong with using original art?  Is this just too cool for this release??  http://www.moviegoods.com//Assets/product_image...

Artwork fail. Why not just copy the books in the bloody film?
