Very excited to hear about this! I debated for months importing the French steelbook(Or Noir - Black Gold), glad I waited! Looking forward to seeing this.
Coming from J-J Annaud (Seven Years in Tibet, The Bear, Quest For Fire), the exteriors should be gorgeously composed, and should no doubt look great on hidef .... Day One
