A bunch of recent movies have been announced to get 4k Ultra HD SteelBook editions. Amazingly, not all of them are Pop Art monstrosities.

The Predator<\/h2>\n

Video Formats: Blu-ray\/UHD
\nAvailable at: Best Buy (ORDER HERE<\/a>) or Zavvi (ORDER HERE<\/a>)
\nRelease date: TBD
\nPrice: $29.99 (USA) \/ \u00a329.99 (UK) <\/p>\n

Shane Black’s reworking of the Predator<\/em> franchise hasn’t exactly wowed many critics or audiences thus far, but it’s the type of movie that will still draw franchise completists and sci-fi\/horror fans to buy it on disc in fancy packaging.<\/p>\n

The artwork below (taken from the Zavvi listing, though Best Buy’s temp image is very similar) is a direct copy of the movie’s primary poster design. I’m not a huge fan of the red, personally. It looks a little garish to me, but it could be worse. <\/p>\n

As you can see in tiny print in the top corner, this may still be subject to change before release. <\/p>\n

\"The<\/a><\/p>\n

UPDATE: Best Buy and Zavvi have both posted new artwork.<\/p>\n

Mission: Impossible \u2013 Fallout (USA)<\/h2>\n

Video Formats: UHD (no Blu-ray?)
\nAvailable at: Best Buy (ORDER HERE<\/a>)
\nRelease date: TBD
\nPrice: $34.99<\/p>\n

The sixth of super-spy Ethan Hunt’s impossible missions was not just the highest-grossing entry in the franchise, it’s the highest-grossing movie Tom Cruise has ever made, which seems almost\u2026 well\u2026 impossible. It was also greeted with rave reviews, especially praising the quality of the action scenes and stunts.<\/p>\n

The American SteelBook art is fairly nice. It’s classy, if a little unexciting.<\/p>\n

\"Mission:<\/a><\/p>\n

Mission: Impossible \u2013 Fallout (Germany)<\/h2>\n

Video Formats: Blu-ray\/UHD
\nAvailable at: Amazon Germany (ORDER HERE<\/a>)
\nRelease date: December 28, 2018
\nPrice: \u20ac39.99<\/p>\n

The movie will have different SteelBook art in Europe. This one’s a little more dynamic, playing up both Cruise’s stuntwork and the pun in the movie’s title. <\/p>\n

\"Mission:<\/a><\/p>\n

Skyscraper<\/h2>\n

Video Formats: Blu-ray\/UHD (no 3D)
\nAvailable at: Best Buy (ORDER HERE<\/a>)
\nRelease date: October 9, 2018
\nPrice: $34.99<\/p>\n

If Tom Cruise jumping out of an airplane doesn’t do it for you, how about Dwayne Johnson defying all physics and gravity to leap an impossible distance off a crane into a building window? <\/p>\n

\"Skyscraper<\/a><\/p>\n

\"Skyscraper<\/a><\/p>\n

The First Purge<\/h2>\n

Video Formats: Blu-ray\/UHD
\nAvailable at: Best Buy (ORDER HERE<\/a>)
\nRelease date: October 2, 2018
\nPrice: $34.99<\/p>\n

The title The First Purge<\/em> sounds like it ought to be a coming-of-age drama about a teenage girl’s struggle with bulimia. If it were, though, this SteelBook image would be all sorts of messed-up.<\/p>\n
