Naice. I'm thinking HDR could serve this title well.

I just picked this up in the Kino sale. At least it was only $10.

If it's similar to the German release, there won't be any HDR.

Oh my God! I wondered when Eureka! would pop their MoC UHD cherry. Once upon a time I figured it'd be either Nosferatu or Metropolis that would do the breaking in, but over the course of the year, it became obvious that wasn't to be.

[HeckYourUp]

Still have yet to see this so this will be a day 1 for me

[PissedOffPeoN]

Is this the oldest title on 4k now?

I'm assuming no HDR. But the restoration itself is fantastic plus 10bit UHD with maybe an FIM encoding job equals sweetness to me.

Now just debating in getting this set or waiting for a standard release.

[MifuneFan]

It looks like it will be a single disc release. So no Blu-ray of the film included, nor the extras on a separate disc (though probably not a huge issue given the length of the film)

[Citizen K]

All in for this one in 4K. Trailer:

[Mister_Kidd]

Just preordered. LOVE Eureka's free worldwide shipping and the pound being more in line with the dollar lately. Threw in the Cinematic Vengeance set for good measure.

[MarkGubarenko]

So what do we have:
+Bigger book (100 vs 44)
+Score by Uwe Dierksen & Hermann Kretzschmar (2019) – LPCM stereo
+Brand new audio commentary by Kevin Lyons and Jonathan Rigby
+The Asylum in Film – brand new interview with author / critic Kim Newman
+Fancy slipbox

Doesn't care that doesn't have BD, since all the extras and even more are available.

[NeilZ]

Is the score from the previous Eureka blu ray still included (I think was University of Music, Freiburg?)? Cause that's one of my favorite silent movie scores of all time.

Anybody know if this set will be region free?

UHDs are almost entirely region-free.

Save for a couple releases, the vast majority of 4K discs are region free, so I'd expect the same here. If a BD was included, that would have been locked, however.
