There were two Arrow DVD Chabrol boxes, so there’s that.

This is what I think it is.

DR UHD in October is obviously Deep Red

CC = Chang Cheh

Carlotta has already released 5 Chabrol in France and are going to add 3 more in September, so it could be enough to fuel 2 boxes.

I'm wondering though where are Inglourious Basterds and The Wolf of Wall Street at now.

I am contemplating the current status of L’Atlantide.

I seem to recall it was announced in anticipation of an upcoming restoration which ended up massively delayed. I'm not sure it has been performed yet.

That would fit with the tweet about the Shaw Brothers. But really anything other than a Claude Chabrol set would be extremely disappointing.

CC = Ciller Clowns

When they did their survey not that long ago, the one (and only) thing I requested was some classic period Chabrol. Good a time as any.

Hopefully if it turns out to be Chabrol they aren't just doing the titles in the Carlotta set (L’Enfer / La Cérémonie / Rien ne va Plus / Merci pour Le Chocolat / La Fleur du Mal). I know at least Merci pour Le Chocolat, L'Enfer, and Rien ne va Plus have Cohen blu-rays here in the US already.

Indeed. Those weren't the Chabrols I was looking for...

Fran Simeoni tweeted that Four Flies and Frighteners are not in the teaser. Frighteners is coming at a later date.

If you are waiting for the upgrades of the original Chabrol Arrow boxes I'm afraid you will have to be beyond patient.

He’s also arguably the most accessible nouvelle vague filmmaker to mainstream audiences, earning his French Hitchcock stamp. I can think of plenty of his output that would appeal to most anyone that is willing to read subtitles, so his absence in the market has always puzzled me.

Are there any Chabrol restorations on the horizon anywhere?
Restoration funds were made available 4-5 years ago for the Artedis titles but rights issues have stalled the progress
As far as I know nothing's changed. Maybe Tenia has more up to date info?

The Arrow boxes are also a mix of rights holders and I don't think anything has changed in the last 2 years when I wrote this.
Again perhaps Tenia has more up to date info. I would love to be proved wrong but I think they're still stuck. Le Boucher has been allegedly restored but rumours are that it is a mess.

There’s nothing that says their Chabrol boxes have to be comprised of the same films they released on DVD, though

Granted but I think the highest expectations and desires are for the original titles that comprised those boxes.

Well even if they only announce stuff that's recently become available from Kino and Cohen, I'll still gladly lap it up as a vote of confidence in further Chabrols down the line

Both boxes could just be different cuts of Les bonnes femmes and I'll buy multiple copies of both

I would expect Chang Cheh boxes rather than Chabrol.

If “PUHD” was for Poltergeist I would be happily stunned.

Dawn of the Discs is claiming that Arrow have a Warner deal and will be releasing "Nothing But Trouble".

I assume that Dawn has the wrong company and Shout is releasing it.

They also said on Twitter that they heard Arrow had 'Nothing But Trouble' but hadn't seen any concrete evidence.

Here’s hoping that a similar box set with Bollywood classics will come. I think Arrow did show interest some years ago.
