Do you we'll get a matching Ultimate Edition cover for the upcoming 3-disc Casino Royale: Collector's Edition?

Probably not since they like ripping us off! :tup:

I doubt that we will. I'm just hoping that we get better cover art for the 3-disc edition, rather than the rather bland theatrical poster artwork that is on the current release. A UE cover would be nice, but I would also be thrilled if they put the teaser poster, or at least something in the style of the teaser poster, on the cover of the new edition.

Nope, and it really doesn't bother me that much. As long as it isn't a really generic cover...

I bet we'll get a crappy, generic cover created by someone with limited knowledge of MS Paint.

Yeah, I heard Fox Home Entertainment's art department still uses Windows 95 for their covers. :tup:

Maybe they'll go all out and create a cover in the style of the original novel, much like the Casino Royale title sequence. There's probably more chance of it being made of strawberry liquorice though :tup:

It would be nice to get one that matches the Ultimate Editions, though they'll probably create something original.

As tdalton mentioned, the teaser poster for the artwork, or something in that style would be quite nice. I'm just hoping we get a nicer looking cover than what we have now. I don't mind the layout, but I find the grey looks rather bland.

Agreed. They grey is the main problem with the current design. If it had a black and blue-ish green background, like the color of the teaser poster and the spine of the current DVD, then it would look much better.

They will have to change it somewhat from the 2 disc set so the average consumer knows it is different. Regardless, since it is a 3 disc set, the case won't match the Ultimate Edition slim cases anyway.

Here's what I think the cover for the new edition should look like (I'll try to get something done in photoshop to show ya if I get a chance to). But, simply use that really cool, dark mysterious first poster (you know, the one with Bond at a poker table with the gun on the table), the title at the top, and the same "Ultimate Edition" banner at the bottom. But don't do that weird montage of photos at the top and bottom like the other UE's have. So, make it somewhat fit in, but not completely.

But one thing that I'm thinking, what type of casing will it be housed in. Three is a bit of a weird number of discs, cause we know the style that most studios use for two disc sets with the same thickness as a normal case, but with a little tray in the middle. I'm thinking there's a couple of possibilities, either a boxset (ala Superman '78) where we might get a small boxset of two (or possibily three, with one disc in each) slim cases (the first housing the movie, plus booklet, the second housing both bonus discs), some sort of regular keepcase (I don't have any like that in my collection, but have seen some in the stores- I think season four of Corner Gas being the only one I've really noticed), or the third (and my favourite) option: a neat little fold out digipak (I really like the one that Hot Fuzz comes in, where it's designed like a police officer's notebook.

Can't wait to get this in June. Please let it come on blu-ray, and if not, who cares? The current DVD looks, especially when upconverted, and sound awesome! Just can't wait for this one.

Fantastic titles sequenc. Could definitely make for an interesting cover for this collector's edition. Would work especially nice if the DVD comes enclosed in some sort of outer box.

My guess is the Blu Ray will be a new Blu-Ray with a SD DVD as a bonus holding all the stuff, thought it may be another blu ray, and that would be nice.

I seem to recall there being several interesting concepts posted throughout the past months in the Fan Art thread for this very release. :tup:

No, it'll definitly be a blu-ray disc. If I'm not mistaken, Sony's now done a couple of 2 disc Blu-rays, all with the second disc being blu. Superbad, Close Encounters, and Spiderman 3 (I don't have any of them to confirm), all 2 disc set, with both being blu-rays. I hope CR is added to that list, and maybe the casing could be one of those big digipaks like the Close Encounters one looks to be.

I know I won't buy that one. If the deleted scences would be in the movie I think, I'd change my mind but they are not, so ... .

Why would you want the deleted scenes in the movie before ever seeing them ? What if they don't belong in there ?

Because, I simply want a complete movie. Actually, I would love to buy something like a "Director's Cut Edition" on Blue-Ray.

The movie is complete (I mean, the australian or french BR is). It's wrong to think that because something was cut, it was taken off and you were deprived of them... unless the director's say so. And you assume that CR was butchered, when M. Campbell says we saw the director's cut.
If all movies were edited together as their script, believe me, all movies would be bad. I'm tired of this psychosis of "deleted scenes I want more !", do the extra scenes in Goldeneye belong in there ? No.

No, that's not my point. I just want it in the film. I think it's a much nice way to publish them. Well, at least I think it is better than putting it on an extra DVD.

ADM aka A Digital Man is one of the great fan editors, who's pet peeve is to reinsert cut scenes into movies without anyone being able to notice the seams. His three disc edition of Titanic, which is the complete, uncut movie with all the deleted scenes re-incorporated including the two endings, is amazing, the cuts are totally invisible.

For Spider-man 3, the second disc is mostly in HD. The package has a nice definitive disclaimer that states: "Special features are not rated and may not be subtitled or in high definition." That totally clears it up for me; now, who do I give my $35 to? :tup: On a side note, it does have a high def version of the release trailer for Casino Royale which is sweet.

It won't match the slim cases themselves, however, it is still possible that they may make the cover art itself match the cover art for the Ultimate Editions.

I really couldn't care less whether the case matches the other UEs. I have the four different sets, so it really doesn't matter anyway, just like DAD didn't really match up with the first SEs, nor did CR '67 and NSNA.

To sound like Dr. Phil or your garden variety school counselor, it's what's on the inside that counts. :tup:

What I want to know is if some of the various stores will compete with different bonuses like the free Aston Martin, Bond on Set book or poker set, all of which I got when the original DVD was released a year ago.
