The Zavvi website is listing a Steelbook edition of Satoshi Kon's anime psycho-thriller Perfect Blue. The site describes this edition as a "Zavvi Exclusive Limited Edition Steelbook Blu-ray" (including four art cards) and gives an August 22 release date.
Perfect Blue was the director debut for Kon, who went to make Millennium Actress, Tokyo Godfathers, Paranoia Agent and Paprika before his death in 2010. Set in contemporary Tokyo, the story concerns a pop singer, Mima, who tries to develop an acting career, only to experience threats and traumas as her mind breaks down and she is tormented by a ghostly version of her singer self.
