Paramount Japan will release David Lynch's Eraserhead and Lost Highway on BD and DVD on Apr. 27, 2012.
The ads read like they are both "David Lynch restoration" versions,
but it's not clear what it exactly means..
Since Lynch has devoted himself to music these days,
it seems unlikely he personally supervised the restoration of his old works. But who knows?
Anyway, here's the descriptions on Paramount Japan's website (here and here):
Eraserhead
Running time: 89 mins
Video: VistaVision 16:9
Audio: English 2.0
Subtitles: Japanese
Special features:
- Eraserhead Stories (video commentary by David Lynch) (85 mins) [*]
- Original trailer
- The Short Films of David Lynch (60 mins):[*]
- Six Men Getting Sick
- The Alphabet

- Amputee
- Lumiere
Lost Highway
Running time: 135 mins
Video: VistaVision 16:9
Audio: English 5.1
Subtitles: Japanese
Special features:
- Dumbland (8 shorts, 34 mins) [*]
- Original trailer
[*]: BD only, not included in DVD.
BDs are packaged in stylish slipcase.
All specs are TBC as of this writing.
(You may wonder why Short Films and Dumbland are in special features.
But they have been unavailable in Japan.)
While BD of Lost Highway was released in Germany some time ago,
and both movies were once available on DVD in Japan years ago,
they were released from third party companies.
Since these new editions are from Paramount Japan
perhaps we can expect they will be released in other countries around the same time as well.
You can pre-order them at Amazon JP:
