Arrow Announcements, Speculation & Wild, Irresponsible Conjecture

[Cronenfly]

One or more Sartana films are coming, based on a postcard included with Basket Case.

***NEW ANNOUNCEMENTS ARE COMING!*** Join us this Friday (February 23rd) at 3.00pm GMT / 7.00am PST / 10.00am EST for our May title reveals!

People are already hyperventilating wondering if it's Martin based on the pic. Needless to say I'd be very happy if it turned out to be true, but any thoughts on alternatives? Vampire's Kiss?

[domino harvey]

Probably another head fake. Maybe something with "teeth" in the title (like, uh, Teeth?)

[What A Disgrace]

I hope its either Martin or Planet of the Vampires.

[tenia]

Having seen already Planet of the Vampires through the French release, I can definitely hope this isn't it, because god that was awful.

[dwk]

Jared from Mondo Macabro posted that it is most likely a clue for Jose Larraz' VAMPYRES as Arrow has licensed a couple of his films.

[rapta]

Would be happy with Martin, Planet of the Vampires, or especially Near Dark. Interested to see Vampyres as I quite enjoyed Larraz's Symptoms, so be happy with that too. And Vampire's Kiss would be an easy upgrade as I've seen that film more times than I'd be comfortable revealing.

So basically if it's one of those five, I'll be (easily?) pleased.

Clearly a hint for Dracula: Dead and Loving It!

Looks like Arrow is releasing Last House on the Left

Highly unlike release:
Dracula (1979) with the colors back!

Anyway, from all the possible solutions to the question i've seen, I'd be interested in Fright Night 2.

[Drucker]

Not Martin

[Costa]

Not Martin

Nice of him to say so that there isn't any more hype raised, and then people start swearing when it isn't!

That would be incredible, actually. I wish there was an I.B. Technicolor print out there that fans could restore and upload a la the Star Wars trilogy. I really do think that John Badham has his pulse on American filmgoers like few before or since.

[M Sanderson]

Yes Martin really is the holy grail.

Does anyone know whether there’s any good materials to even mount an outstanding restoration?

Is there any chance it could emerge one day, looking as good as the Arrow exclusive restorations of Crazies and Season of The Witch, or Film Foundation/Criterion’s NOTLD?

*****

Excited very much so, to hear Arrow have a couple of Lara’s films. I loved BFI’s astonishing release of the superb Symptoms. Are we all going to be assuming that the beautiful and sleazy Vampyres is one of them?

There’s quite a few interesting ones by Larraz, and I’m excited as to the possibilities.

Martin Goldman's Dark August has been submitted to the BBFC by Arrow recently.
Edit : Dark River will be an Academy title, to be released on June 25th.

[tenia]

Ted Post's The Baby is now the 2nd "Amazon Channels" only release from Arrow.
EDIT : a BD will follow, so it won't be an Amazon exclusive.

[Ribs]

No, the announcement says a blu-ray will be announced soon.

[tenia]

My bad.

[Calvin]

I notice that Fran Simeoni retweeted a Carlotta Films tweet about working with Arbelos on the release of Dennis Hopper's The Last Movie. It wouldn't surprise me if Arrow had picked it up for the UK, they'd be a natural fit.

[Ribs]

Academy clue:

[perkizitore]

I really hope it's not Little Buddha!

[okcmaxk]

Little Buddha?

[beamish13]

Why Has Bodhi-Dharma Left for the East?

Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter...and Spring?

Wow! That would be amazing.two labels don’t usually work together unless both are releasing it, do they?
