Hello, this is Dom…

From Second Sight Films, the Sean Connery classic – The Name of the Rose – will be released on 10th August. Here’s what they had to say:

Sean Connery andHollywood favourites Christian Slater and Ron Perlman lead the cast in celebrated auteur Jean-Jacques Annaud’s big screen adaptation of Umberto Eco’s acclaimed novel The Name of The Rose.

The year is 1327 and respected Franciscan friar William of Baskerville (Connery) and his young novice Adso of Melk (Slater) arrive at a remote Italian abbey to attend a theological debate. But their visit takes a dark turn when a monk is found dead under mysterious circumstances. Using his sharp intellect and powers of deduction, William suspects foul play and embarks on his own investigation.

When more of the religious men meet their maker, in increasingly disturbing ways; fear and superstition grip the abbey. With tensions rising, the Church enlists the revered inquisitor Bernardo Gui (F. Murray Abraham), an old adversary of William, to uncover the truth. In a race against time, William must unravel the deadly conspiracy hidden within the abbey’s walls before more lives are lost.

The brand-new collector’s set is presented in a stunning rigid slipcase with new artwork by Liza Shumskaya, a 120-page book with new essays and comes complete with an array of special features including a new commentary, cast and crew interviews and much more. Please see full details on attached.
