I didn't see any other new ones. Superhero might have more editions though.

It released today (July 8, 2008) and has Charlize Theron and Woody Harrelson in it, among others. I haven't heard of it, but I'm interested in it. Sorry if this lead to any confusion.
Also, I fixed the original post to avoid confusion as well.

Ledger/Bale I'm Not There slipcover
Hi. I was in an HMV in Canada and saw a copies of I'm Not There with a Ledger/Bale slipcase.. The DVD itself is the normal cover
Sorry, the Bale side didn't turn out that great.. I think it might be due to a Dark Knight mix-n-match sale with a sign with the Joker..
Anyone seen it anywhere else?

Just received the new Tenebre release from Anchor Bay, and was wondering, did it actually come with a slipcover since Phenomena did and they were both released the same day and part of the same collection.

Hi. Is this the Wilder/Mostel or Broderick/Lane version? I just saw a copy of a full screen Broderick/Nathan version in the used section of a gas station.. It was a Canadian version btw.. Was there a US slipcover?
Thanks

What's landmark about this (imo), is Target was marketing this as the DVD comes with "movie novelization AND collectible artwork cover). First time, that i know of, that a store specifically mentioned the slipcover as a buying feature. So now we have a huge chain printing an exclusive slipcover just for the purpose of marketing to collectors. I think our little hobby here at this message board is about to blow up. btw, the Target slipcover is actually pretty cool.
Now, deja vu all over again. Remember a few weeks ago i was freaking out like a 8 year old child because no one had Xanadu with the pretty sparkly sc out here is east coast land. Now you can't throw a cat without hitting 20 copies of Xanadu. But i think it's happening again, the new director's cut of "Dark City" (great sci-fi movie predating the Matrix and Equilibrium) is out but nowhere to be found. Does anyone know if it has a slipcover? I'm betting it does, since studios seem to get the correlation between Sci-fi fanboy collectors and slipcover DVD sales.
It's a 10th anniversary very nice upgrade from the previous cover..
Now here are the slipcovers I've seen not already mentioned...
Honorable mention since they've already been identified but "Lost Boys: The Tribe" i believe only has the lenticular cover (only seen at Best Buy so far) but it's well worth it. A very nicely done cover (unlike "Jumper", one the lamest lenticular's i've ever seen). Also, the Gen Z version of "The Karate Kid" flick, "Never Back Down" has a 3 disc flavor at Target but with same slipcover
I also got the "Van Wilder:Rise of Taj Unrated" with the "Girl Next Door" style "half slipcover". Who was it that needed one of those? I'm sure i can get one.

I've got the first Wrong Turn originally and lenticular slipcovers, let me know which one you'd prefer and i'll see if can grab an extra one of those too. Always nice to have a complete set, ya know?
thank you so much for your effort, it is so kind of you!
unfortunately i didn`t hear from you for quite some time, so i wasn`t sure if you were able to find a wrong turn 2 slipcover. therefore i went ahead and ordered a copy with sleeve from ebay. i must admit also, that i didn`t really enjoy the second part that much. loved the first one, but part two was too direct to video for me.
i feel so bad that you went through all this effort now! i have listed some slipcovers i have in post #421. is there one which you would need? would be my treat! or perhaps you are looking for something else in particular that i could focus on finding?! you could just send me your list via pn.
looking forward to hearing from you and thank you so much again for your much valued help!

Alright, SnapOn, I lied lol. I had to go to the grocery store and drove out to Wal-Mart to take a gander.
Here's what I gather. By the normal definition of a slipcover (I take that as a cover that slides over the dvd case vertically), Dark City is NOT a slipcover. It should be more loosely defined as a slip sleeve. Unlike a slipcover which can pull off the case from the bottom or top, the Dark City sleeve only slides off horizontally to the left. It compares to a tv set slipsleeve (like Heroes) or like the LOTR extended 4 disc editions. The Dark City sleeve is over a normal amaray case though. However, it is a "slip" cover and looking at the thread title, I am unsure if it should be added or not. Still looks like good packaging though compared to most.
Wow, I was really OCD in that haha. Hope I could help.

Being really lazy. I started a new job a couple of months back and it's really kicking my ass. I'm doing Theme Park work and my company is preparing documents for a major (hush-hush) one opening in a few years. I just haven't had time to keep up with the updates (or jot down new covers when I'm at a store).
Plus, my new drive is like 2 hours with traffic. When I go to a store, I just pick up what's new and go home. Hopefully once the documents are delivered and we move to our new offices (both happening at the end of August), I'll have more pep.
Sorry, guys. Work finally got the best of me.
