just noticed that on the Cinema Arcana FB page they are claiming Arrow are preparing a release of Freda's Doppia Facia (Double Face) with a Tim Lucas commentary.

***ROBOCOP UPDATE*** Arrow Video on their upcoming “Robocop†Blu-ray “We're not doing a new restoration, but using the current master which we can emphasise is a director-approved 4K scan of the O-neg, though we are going to try and improve the unrated sections. No 1.66:1 option (not possible without going back to raw scans or starting again, plus was a concession to 4x3 TVs when Criterion released the film). No Robodoc due to scheduling and legal issues though we are working with the producers on some new extras! There are also no plans for a UHD release at this time. We can't wait to tell you more about it later in the year!†Unless it’s got decent extras and the iconic poster art then I’m not interested because the current UK Blu looks great IMO  keirarts likes this.

the Q&A today didn't reveal much. just vague promises of more noir and gialli. they did confirm that they don't have The Hitcher but I think that was known anyway.

Trust me, if The Hitcher was available, they’d have done it years ago. keirarts likes this. |

| ARROW ACADEMY NEW UK TITLE: Nightfall (Blu-ray) Release dates: 3 June "During his long and varied career, Jacques Tourneur (The Comedy of Terrors, Cat People) tackled a breadth of genres on both sides of the Atlantic. With 1956’s Nightfall, he returns to the noir trappings he tackled so successfully with Out of the Past for a tale of deception, intrigue and paranoia. Adapted from the novel by prolific crime fiction author James Goodis (Dark Passage), Nightfall is the story of Jim Vanning (Aldo Ray, The Violent Ones; The Naked and the Dead), an innocent man wrongly accused of murder. On the same night he has a chance encounter in a bar with glamorous model Marie (Anne Bancroft, The Graduate), the hoods he’s spent the past year running from catch up with him, determined to recover the money they believe he stole from them. Pursued by both the hoods and law enforcement, Vanning and Marie go on the lam, leading to a desperate chase that takes them from the streets of Los Angeles to the snowy peaks of Wyoming. Eschewing both the big names associated with the genre and its familiar urban locales, and featuring striking monochromatic photography by Oscar-winner Burnett Guffey (From Here to Eternity), Nightfall is a gripping and inventive late-period noir which shows that, even in its twilight years, the genre still had room for innovation. SPECIAL EDITION CONTENTS High Definition Blu-ray (1080p) presentation, restored from original film elements Original lossless mono soundtrack Optional English subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearing New audio commentary by author and critic Bryan Reesman White and Black, a new video appreciation of Nightfall by film historian Philip Kemp Do I Look Like a Married Man?, a new video essay on the themes of Nightfall by author and critic Kat Ellinger Theatrical trailer Image gallery Reversible sleeve featuring original and newly commissioned artwork by Jennifer Dionisio"

| ARROW ACADEMY NEW UK/US/CA TITLE: The Running Man (Blu-ray) Release dates: 17/18 June "Over a decade after redefining the thriller with The Third Man, director Carol Reed returned to the genre with The Running Man. Reuniting with that film’s cinematographer Robert Krasker (BAFTA-nominated for his work here), Reed goes in the opposite direction visually, framing the twisty plot in sun-kissed widescreen colour. Rex Black (Laurence Harvey, Walk On The Wild Side) has successfully faked his death in a plane crash and escaped to sunny Malaga under a new identity, waiting for his wife Stella (Lee Remick, Anatomy Of A Murder) to arrive with £50,000 of life insurance money. It’s the start of a blissful, trouble-free new life for the couple – until Stephen (Alan Bates, Gosford Park), the insurance agent in charge of investigating Rex’s death, suddenly arrives in town. Is he just holidaying in Spain, as he claims, or is he on assignment to foil Rex’s scheme? Adapted by John Mortimer (later the creator of Rumpole of the Bailey) from the novel The Ballad of the Running Man by Shelley Smith, this underappreciated entry in Reed’s celebrated oeuvre makes its official worldwide home video premiere, complete with insightful new bonus features. SPECIAL EDITION CONTENTS 2K restoration of the film by Sony Pictures High Definition (1080p) Blu-Ray presentation Original uncompressed mono audio Isolated music and effects track Optional English subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearing Audio commentary by Peter William Evans, author of British Film-Makers: Carol Reed On The Trail Of The Running Man, all-new featurette with crew members such as script supervisor Angela Allen and assistant director Kits Browning Lee Remick at the National Film Theatre, an audio-only recording of the actor's appearance at the NFT in 1970 Image gallery Reversible sleeve featuring original artwork FIRST PRESSING ONLY: Illustrated collector’s booklet featuring new writing on the film by Barry Forshaw"

However! Kudos to Arrow who seem to be back on track with orders! My Larraz boxset and Kolobos arrived today!  Wish I'd ordered the Ringu set from them instead of Zavvi,who STILL haven't shipped it!
