Evidently just another hoax. Here's what's included in the forthcoming Murnau/Borzage DVD box set from Fox:

Murnau’s 4 Devils: Traces of a Lost Film – a film by Janet Bergstrom
4 Devils screenplay
4 Devils treatment
4 Devils Still gallery

All of this was included on the previous release of the Sunrise DVD.

Here's the scoop:

A poster in CriterionForums.org claims he has found the lost Murnau masterpiece 4 Devils in a dusty collection of old film reels at his friend's house somewhere in Tacoma.

He just posted the news yesterday so no real details has been given as to the condition of the prints, etc. or if it is indeed real. He's been asking for tips on how to go about this legally, how to treat the prints, etc.

If this news turns out true, I would guess this would be akin to The Passion of Joan of Arc being discovered at an asylum in Norway.
