Arrow Announcements, Speculation & Wild, Irresponsible Conjecture

In another post from MifuneFan, during the podcast they said that they found a workprint of The Last Boy Scout and hope they get permission to include it.

WOW. Stuart Baird was brought on at the last minute to tone down what could’ve gotten an NC-17 rating. That could be a huge find

Neil Snowdon reacting to Sam Neill's passing:

The Sam Neill news is shocking and incredibly sad. We'd interviewed him towards the end of May for a forthcoming release (which has yet to be announced) and all was well. A remarkable person and a remarkable career.

Can anyone think of anything else besides Dead Calm? (Just asking, not dismissing the film which I like)

Hunt for Red October?

Seriously doubt that Paramount would license that out.

As for other possibilities, Memoirs of an Invisible Man is the only one I can come up with.

Dead Calm seems likely. I don't think it's even had a UK Blu release. Memoirs of an Invisible Man is also Warner Bros. and seems like the kind of thing Arrow would want to rehabilitate.

Event Horizon?

[dwk]

Paramount has already released Event Horizon on UHD in both the US and UK. (I'm also not sure what the last new Paramount licensed title Arrow has released, as most seem to be just UK ports of titles previously released by Arrow in the US.)

I reckon Dead Calm, as it's with Warner Bros and therefore would be the most straightforward. Even better would obviously be an Omen box set but that'd have to go through Disney at this point, so far less likely.

Great news either way. I was very saddened to hear about Sam Neill's passing as he had consistently been one of my favourite actors across my journey through cinephilia.

James Flower confirmed in a podcast that they're doing the entire Chinese Ghost Story trilogy in 4K. Color correction was already confirmed months ago to reinstate the night time filter missing from the Shout release of the first film.

If they're doing Halloween, I'd really like a standalone of the first film. No interest at all in the rest, including the third.

And if it's all out horror in October, maybe we finally get Pulse.

Glad I skipped the Shout and Imprint Chinese Ghost Story sets.

And I really hope Arrow can do this with the Swordsman trilogy.
