Das britische Label Shameless wird am 30. Januar Dario Argentos "Four Flies on Grey Velvet" erstmals in einer komplett reaturierten und vollständigen(!) Fassung auf DVD und Blu-ray in England veröffentlichen. Die Scheibe wird sowohl den italienischen als auch erstmals den komplett restaurierten englischen Ton enthalten. Zusätzlich sind die "verlorenen 40 Sekunden" per Seamless Branching in den Film integriert worden, so dass der Film mit ohne diese Szenen angeschaut werden kann. Weiterhin sind folgende Extras gelistet:
- Introduction to the film by Luigi Cozzi.
- New, exclusive and extensive recent interview on the making of Four Flies On Grey Velvet with writer and assistant director Luigi Cozzi.
- Original English audio remastered in HD exclusively for this Shameless release from the original magnetic soundtrack and available for the first time since the film’s original theatrical opening in the 1970s.
- Shameless re-build edit of the complete version of the film including four inserts of previously missing footage known amongst Argento fans as the legendary “missing forty seconds” (the inserts are in Standard-Definition quality). The Blu-ray will allow for seamless branching of the four inserts giving viewers two versions of the film: one all HD without the re-inserted scenes and one longer version including the inserts.
- Restoration of all individual damaged frames, most notably with respect to the removal of the black diagonal frame line (caused by the film jumping the high speed camera gate) in the final car crash sequence.
- Optional Italian audio version in HD with English subtitles.
- Italian and English trailers.
- Alternate English opening and closing credits.
- Shameless Trailer Park (Blu-ray only).
