[BigNickUK]

Oh my god! is all I can say!!!!
Confirmed by Eureka today. Awaiting release details

From Eureka's facebook page:

Eureka! Entertainment and The Masters of Cinema Series are delighted to announce the Halloween 2013 theatrical and home video releases of an eagerly awaited new restoration of F. W. Murnau's legendary silent cinema horror classic Nosferatu:... A Symphony of Horror (1919), expertly restored in Germany by the world-renowned Friedrich-Wilhelm-Murnau-Stiftung (FWMS).

This revival of a horror classic, one of the most famous of all silent films, follows Eureka! Entertainment's hugely successful restoration showcases of Fritz Lang's Metropolis (1927) in 2010 and Carl Theodor Dreyer's The Passion of Joan of Arc (1928) in 2012.

Nosferatu's UK theatrical run will be co-ordinated by Eureka! Entertainment and will open in selected cinemas nationwide on Friday October 25, 2013, just in time for Halloween. Blu-ray and DVD releases will follow with a raft of special features to be announced nearer the release date, as part of Eureka! Entertainment's award-winning The Masters of Cinema Series.

I have to admit that I was hoping for a Rosemarys Baby steelbook myself.

Nosferatu, Dr Caligari and Metropolis is the holy trinity of German Expressionism

According to me at least

i'm seriously slowing down buying steels - but this is a must have ...

in my dreams extras include ' Shadow of the Vampire '

[MifuneFan]

I wonder if the steel will feature the DVD's artwork. It's super creepy



Here are the extras from the DVD. They'll likely be carried over, plus perhaps some new ones:

• The officially licenced 2007 restoration by F. W. Murnau-Stiftung and Luciano Berriatúa featuring the original Hans Erdmann score — previously unheard for over 85 years — and the original German intertitles.

• Full-length exclusive commentary track by silent film historian and bookseller R. Dixon Smith with freelance film critic Brad Stevens.

• The Language of Shadows — a 53-minute German documentary by Luciano Berriatúa about Murnau and the making of Nosferatu complete with fascinating footage of the film’s locations today.

• Restoration demonstration

• 80-page book containing articles by Thomas Elsaesser (author of Weimar Cinema and After: Germany’s Historical Imaginary); Gilberto Perez (author of The Material Ghost: Films and Their Medium); Enno Patalas (former director of the Münchner Stadtmuseum/Filmmuseum, where he was responsible for the restoration of many German classics, including Nosferatu); a newly translated archival piece on vampires by the film’s producer Albin Grau; notes on the film’s restoration; and archival imagery.

I thought the booklet was 80 pages?

[MifuneFan]

Could be, I got that info from a review on Amazon, rather from Eureka. I'll look it up, and correct it.

edit: Yep, 80 pages, fixed it

Exelent horror movie
How about The Golem...also a classic silent movie

I'm excited by the steelbook but this is the bit that really excited me. Seeing MoC's restoration of Metropolis on the big screen was incredible (so good that I hope to go again in a few weeks when my local arthouse has it on again), I can't wait to see this as well.
