For whatever it's worth, I asked the press contact in charge of images about that cover art yesterday and he said that it was not finalized yet.

mfunk, I resized your image by changing the 1500 in the link to 500. (You can do this with all Amazon images.)

If I didn't get this through the price glitch and this was indeed the final box art I would cancel. Thanks Amazon for helping me build my C collection mispriced LE one at a time.
BTW Domino where did you find that image months ago? Through your secret inside contact?

That was the image in the email Criterion sent out initially announcing the release.

Before Midnight - it's broken on their website itself for me too. Odd! Maybe something weird going on with my office's web blocker.

EDIT: Checked another connection, still not appearing.

They all work for me, and my network is notorious for blocking images from these forums.

They may be cached for you, because they worked at one point.

For what it's worth; I did see all four images a few hours ago, Before Midnight was displaying even when mfunk and domino said the image wasn't appearing for them, then I refreshed my browser and the Before Midnight image disappeared, but I can see the image in the link swo just posted. Weird.

When mfunk and domino said it didn't work, it was already in your cache from when it worked earlier. When you refreshed your browser is wasn't anymore.

Yes, and they're already frontrunners for cover art of the year 2017

Maybe they still aren't working, because those covers suck

Except Midnight, they all look quite poorly drawn, with the box design looking like something that took 2 min to draw on Paint.
That's awful.

I like a lot the first movie artwork "Before Sunrise"- they look cute, especially Julie Delpy :oops: :oops: :oops: . I wouldn't mind to be stuck in a "vinyl"- phone booth with her (like in one of my favorite scene of this movie).
One thing is odd - they look older in the second movie artwork rather than in the last one - "Before Midnight"...

From the cover to the individual films, the design for the whole set is horrible. The art is quite inconsistent, ranging from competent to C-grade college art class stuff.
