There doesn't seem to be a motif... [In reply to] Can't Post

AUJ had the acorn and DoS had the Arenstone.

Edit: Although, the Acorn wasn't on the front of AUJ EE

It looks fake and yet I think it might be real Unsure

Likely official [In reply to] Can't Post

Unless designated as a "customer upload", Amazon's images are official. So this is likely the real DVD set design. Keep in mind that the image itself will be different for the Blu-ray and 3D Blu-ray versions. But looks like that is the border design we're getting.

"The danger with any movie that does as well as this one does is that the amount of money it's making and the number of awards that it's got becomes almost more important than the movie itself in people's minds. I look at that as, in a sense, being very much like the Ring, and its effect on people. You know, you can kind of forget what we were doing, if you get too wrapped up in that."
- Viggo Mortensen

Hope the other covers are better... [In reply to] Can't Post

This is terrible. Bilbo's feet are blue and what the heck is meant to be going on in the background?

Also, I was really hoping for a purple border Frown

I don't think so [In reply to] Can't Post

Bilbo is standing on the carrock from AUJ, but it's way too small. And the background looks like a coastline - when did the company ever walk along a coastline?

So there's a colour pattern to the 2D Blu-ray cases... [In reply to] Can't Post

The 2D Blu-rays with the "floating head" images.

AUJ had an ORANGE border with a BLUE tinted image

DoS had a GREEN border with an ORANGE tinted image

BoFA has a BLUE border, so will have a GREEN tinted image.

So at least they'll be consistent. Smile

Obviously the picture is supposed to be Bilbo in the midst of the Battle of Five Armies.

However it is pretty bad.

Not a great image.... luckily in the UK we won't get this for the added at least! [In reply to] Can't Post

Not a huge fan of the image; either the composition of image quality. The art working just doesn't seem that great really.

As for the colour, it fits witht the theme of the movie and ties in witht the other covers, although is a little odd that it doesn't match any of the CD covers. It's little details and consistency like this that I think have been sorely lacking in WB markseting of these films. Always baffles me that a company as big as WB can't manage to quite get it right compared to smaller companies. Sometimes it feels like typical 'decision by committee'.

As ever though, I'll be be getting the DVD for the EE solely due to the fact it will come in the solid block colour/pattern rather than one of these dodgy photoshopped images!

I hate bad grammar and spelling... [In reply to] Can't Post

But when someone does it because English is not their first language, I think it's really great. It's almost like they're typing in their accent Smile

You shouldn't make fun though, OS. Even if it did make me laugh out loud. Angelic

I like the picture of Bilbo! I think it's real because I've never seen the picture of Bilbo before when BOFA was having it's theater run.


Hopefully the U.S. will have the same DVD, I had to get my DOS EE from Walmart, which was fine, but I don't want the BOFA EE to be hard to find!
