Be aware: Each of the Film Vault editions listed on Walmart’s web site, together with a few different retailer-exclusive variations, offered out months in the past within the UK and at specialty Blu-ray retailers.
Walmart will nearly definitely promote out of each editions earlier than launch. Should you missed out on the 2025 Walmart-exclusive Steelbook Edition of The Shining, now’s your chance to grab one that looks much cooler. But you may want to move fast. I wrote an article about Walmart’s The Shining Steelbook when preorders opened last December, and it sold out the following day.
The Film Vault: The Shining Special Edition
The Film Vault places the movie title and other text on acetate O-rings, allowing fans to choose whether to display the cigar box with or without words and logos. The new artwork by Matt Ferguson and Florey looks beautiful. The cigar box has a large silhouette of Jack Torrance with the fireman’s axe overlooking (sorry) the Overlook Hotel. On the back is Jack’s typewriter, and there are even words on the paper–likely the same sentence over and over again. The artwork on the steelbook case recreates the scene where Jack trudges through the hedge maze.
The steelbook artwork is also featured on the double-sided movie poster. The other side is a retouched version of Saul Bass’ well-known poster that was created for The Shining’s 1980 theatrical release. The eight art cards showcase memorable shots from the film as well as behind-the-scenes production photographs.
If you’re unfamiliar with The Film Vault, it’s a series of collectible editions of classic movies from the Warner Bros. and Universal Pictures film catalogs. The Film Vault was created in 2022 by Vice Press, a UK company specializing in officially licensed movie collectibles and artwork. All of the 4K Blu-rays released by The Film Vault are region-free discs, but as a UK company, these limited-edition versions of all-time classics aren’t regularly found at US retailers. We suspect The Shining is exclusive to Walmart in the US.
The Film Vault: The Shining Steelbook Edition
At the time of writing, The Shining Solus Steelbook Limited Edition is sold out–but we’d recommend checking to see if Walmart restocked it. It has already received at least one restock. It was sold out when I first found the store page August 22, but I was able to order a copy on August 23, just a few hours before writing this story.
The above image provides a look at the back cover of the steelbook case and the hedge maze landscape artwork on the inside covers. Just like with the Special Edition, the Solus Steelbook comes with an acetate O-ring with with the title and other text. It is worth noting that the Special Edition’s O-ring is for the cigar box–you won’t get a second O-ring for the steelbook case.
$124 | 2-Book Hardcover Box Set (1,396 Pages)
If you are interested in a $100 edition of The Shining, it’s a safe bet that you or someone you know is a huge fan. As a massive fan myself, I can say that if I had to choose between a fancy new edition of The Shining on 4K Blu-ray or the recently released compendium about the film, I would pick the compendium without thinking twice.
Stanley Kubrick’s The Shining is a two-volume, 1,396-page field set that provides a staggeringly complete take a look at the making of the movie. This stunning slipcase assortment was designed by M/M Paris and printed by Taschen earlier this yr.
Written by J.W. Rinzler and edited by Pixar director Lee Unkrich, this compendium relies on a whole bunch of hours of interviews and mountains of investigative analysis. The first ebook, which incorporates an introduction by Steven Spielberg, chronicles each step of the manufacturing. Once I obtained my copy earlier this yr, I used to be astounded by the extent of element supplied all through the roughly 900-page hardcover ebook. If there is a extra thorough making-of ebook a couple of single film, I might be shocked. This ebook is almost so long as all three volumes in Rinzler’s The Making of Star Wars series, which can also be improbable.
The field set additionally comes with a stunning scrapbook stuffed with a wide selection of images, art work, and paperwork associated to the manufacturing of The Shining.
To place it merely: This compendium is one of the best assortment of behind-the-scenes material–across any medium–I’ve ever learn.
Stanley Kubrick’s The Shining is in inventory at Amazon for $124, however it’s unknown what number of copies the writer printed and whether or not it’ll obtain extra print runs. Amazon offered out when preorders opened final summer time, and the field set remained out of inventory till a couple of months in the past.
