This deluxe edi­tion of Stan­ley Kubrick’s satir­i­cal clas­sic comes with a top secret enve­lope of print­ed extras.

We’d like to just stop you in your tracks for a real short sec­ond to show you some very new inno­va­tions in the art of super-deluxe home enter­tain­ment pack­ag­ing. For those look­ing to enter direct­ly into the world of Stan­ley Kubrick’s nuclear count­down com­e­dy which laughs in the yap­ping face of glob­al anni­hi­la­tion, then here’s your dou­ble lot­tery win.

This new edi­tion of the film released by the Cri­te­ri­on Col­lec­tion comes with some rather fan­cy extras in the mix, and instead of describ­ing them to you, we’re going to offer you a swell lit­tle unpack­ag­ing gallery below. If this is some­thing you need in your life, it’s avail­able from all good stock­ists on 25 July, 2016.
