From thedigitalbits.com 7/30:

By the way, Sony also announced the first Francis Ford Coppola's film to hit high-definition on Blu-ray Disc... Bram Stoker's Dracula. The film will arrive on 2-disc Collector's Edition on both DVD and Blu-ray Disc on 10/2 (SLP $24.96 for the DVD and $28.95 for the Blu-ray). Coppola has provided both a video introduction and an audio commentary for this release. Other extras will include deleted scenes, 4 behind-the-scenes featurettes (The Blood is the Life: The Making of Dracula, The Costumes are the Sets: The Design of Eiko Ishioka, In-Camera: The Naïve Visual Effects of Dracula and Method and Madness: Visualizing Dracula) and a trailer for Coppola's new forthcoming Youth Without Youth.

So no workprint, no carry-overs from previous releases, and none of the short promotional pieces (teaser, trailer, music video). But at least Zoetrope Aubry Productions put together new documentaries, and even if they're recycling the commentary from the laserdisc, it'll be nice to have it in a handier format. I'm especially excited about the new video introduction.
And hats off to a gorgeous new cover; even though its imagery from past releases, this composite image is quite elegantly effective!
