This is exciting! It seems that the John Landis horror-comedy classic AMERICAN WEREWOLF IN LONDON is finally getting the 4K Blu-ray treatment! Only thing is, that it's coming from the German company Turbine – however, good news is 4K Ultra HD discs are inherently Region Free, and they will ship to North America! Also, better act quick because there are apparently only going to be 2,626 sets produced!
Here's the official description:
The film shines for the first time worldwide on 4K-UHD with HDR, incl. a remastered Blu-ray. The sound has been restored and comes out of the boxes in 2.0 or 5.1 (German & English).” Only 2,626 sets, they also note, will be produced.
Bonus Features include:
- On the bonus Blu-ray there are over 6 hours of audiovisual extras, among other things, the documentary ′′The Legacy of the Beast′′ (77 min) and ′′Fear the Moon′′ (98 min)
- The 100-page book ′”Man or Monster” on film history
- Slaughtered Lamb beer lid, artcards, posters and stickers.
- Plus the original soundtrack worldwide with score and songs on audio CD for the first time
Keep in mind that the Blu-ray discs included with the set will not be Region Free.
And here's the official synopsis, for those who somehow can't figure it out from the title:
Two American college students on a walking tour of Britain are attacked by a werewolf that none of the locals will admit exists.
Meanwhile, the sets will be available November 6th, but you can pre-order on the company's official website!
