This film always creeped me the hell out. This looks like a kick ass release though. Read on for all the details:
The
Blood Is The Life in visionary Academy Award®-winning director Francis Ford
Coppola’s (Best Director, The Godfather: Part II, 1975) gothic epic BRAM
STOKER’S DRACULA, unleashed onto a Collector’s Edition 2-Disc DVD and a
single high definition Blu-ray Disc on October 2, 2007 from Sony Pictures Home
Entertainment for the SLP of $24.96 (two-disc DVD) and $28.95 (Blu-ray).
Featuring a sensational all-star ensemble with Academy Award-winner Anthony
Hopkins (Best Actor, The Silence of the Lambs, 1992), Gary Oldman,
Wynona Ryder, Keanu Reeves, and Cary Elwes, the 2-Disc set arrives with
never-before-seen special features. For the first time, Francis Ford Coppola
provides a video introduction and audio commentary for his modern horror
classic. Also among the brand new extras in the 2-Disc set are The
Blood is the Life – The Making of Dracula; The Costumes Are the Sets –
The Design of Eiko Ishioka; In-Camera – The Naïve Visual Effects of
Dracula; Method and Madness – Visualizing Dracula; Deleted Scenes
and a trailer for Francis Ford Coppola’s new theatrical film Youth Without
Youth (in theaters 12/14/07). Based on the classic Dracula legend, and
winner of three Academy Awards (Best Costume Design, Best Makeup, Best Sound
Effects Editing), the critically acclaimed film arrives in time for Halloween,
the perfect season to revisit this haunting visual feast. The Blu-ray
version has been digitally remastered in high definition for the best possible
picture and sound quality – the deep crimson blood never looked so succulent
with this seductively gorgeous transfer.
Synopsis
BRAM STOKER’S DRACULA is based on Bram Stoker's
classic novel of the same name. A young lawyer (Jonathan Harker) is
assigned to a gloomy village in the mists of Eastern Europe. He is
captured and imprisoned by the undead vampire Dracula, who travels to London,
inspired by a photograph of Harker's betrothed, Mina Murray. In Britain,
Dracula begins a reign of seduction and terror, draining the life from Mina's
closest friend, Lucy Westenra. Lucy's friends gather together to try to drive
Dracula away.
In BRAM STOKER’S DRACULA Francis Ford Coppola returns
to the original Dracula myth with an all-star cast including Anthony Hopkins
(recently seen in the thriller Fracture), Wynona Ryder, Keanu Reeves,
Cary Elwes (appearing in the new thriller The Alphabet Killer) and Gary Oldman,
who delivers an astonishingly sinister and tragic performance as the
blood-lusting title character. The screenplay is written by James V.
Hart.
