Thanks for the reply, that's great news.

Original Italian version!

[Nosferatu@Cult Labs]

I've only seen the English version once and decided that it was so inferior to the Italian version that have bothered with it since. If it's not on the disc then, as far as I'm concerned, it's no big loss as it is a fairly hacked up and butchered version of the film and misses out a great deal of character development and plot.

So are we getting English audio or is the entire film going to be dubbed into Italian?

[nekromantik]

I agree, even though I not seen it the original version would be better then a edited US version.

[Nosferatu@Cult Labs]

I would imagine (and I would like to hear some official confirmation on this) that there will be English and Italian audio options (a little like Footprints) with the slightly rougher looking scenes having a default Italian soundtrack with English subtitles. I always go for the Italian anyway (even though its David Hemmings) as that way there is no 'jolt' when you go from the better material to that of an inferior quality.

Hopefully Arrow will have located an unedited negative to master from, so that there's no shift in quality within the film. Let's hope so, anyway!

[Nosferatu@Cult Labs]

To have the whole thing taken from the original negative and scanned at (at least) 2K would be fantastic and that would be the version I would really, really want.

Just ordered mine to replace my old R1

I'm jumping in blind here but could somebody re-state whether this release was to come with BOTH Italian and International versions or JUST the Italian version with English options? My apologies if this has to be repeated.
