Scream Factory shows no signs of slowing down their classic horror releases and just announced that Nosferatu: The Vampire will be headed to Blu-ray next year. Directed by Werner Herzog in 1979 and starring Klaus Kinski, this is the first time the movie will be available on the Blu-ray format.
There is no release information available, other than the fact that the movie will come out in 2014. If this gets the Collector's Edition treatment from Scream Factory, it's likely that we'll see a DVD version as well as an extensive list of old and new bonus features. We'll report back as soon as more details become available.
"In 1979, award-winning director Werner Herzog and his volatile star Klaus Kinski embarked on a milestone in international cinema: a dual-language remake of F.W. Murnau’s legendary 1922 horror classic NOSFERATU. The film starred Kinski in the performance of a lifetime as the predatory vampire Dracula, with Isabelle Adjani (THE TENANT) as his beloved Lucy and Bruno Ganz (WINGS OF DESIRE) as the doomed Jonathan Harker. Filmed on breathtaking locations throughout Europe and simultaneously shot in both German and English-speaking versions that create fascinating differences in tone and texture, Werner Herzog’s NOSFERATU has since become recognized worldwide as the definitive version of the Dracula legend as well as one of the most extraordinarily haunting horror films ever made."
