All joking aside nothing would make me happier to see them make the effort to find something that hasn't had a release already there is plenty out there

They do that almost every month it's just not always something you want, but they are doing it.

I have no idea what this water clue is, but there will be news later this evening if previous months are anything to go by as there is an American retailer who always posts it early

Dark Water is already on a re-release 4k though Nordy, it came our recently
I wonder if it is Waterworld, although Universal has put out a 4k recently, so it seems unlikely.

Arrow already has a 4K UHD version of 'Waterworld'

Mind you, this one only has the 'Theatrical Cut' as a 4K UHD version and the 'Ulysses Cut' as a Blu-Ray version - it doesn't include the 'Television Cut' at all (that was only on the limited edition 3 disc 4K UHD one)

NEW UK TITLE: 'Dressed to Kill' (1980) - Limited Edition 4K UHD pre-order available from Arrow Films direct - UK$22.00

Release date: March 3

"Upon its release in 1980, Brian De Palma's Dressed to Kill was as acclaimed for its stylish set-pieces and lush Pino Donaggio score as it was condemned for its sexual explicitness - but the glee with which the writer / director turns this material inside out is completely infectious, as he delves deep inside the troubled psyches of his characters to undermine expectations at every turn.

After sexually frustrated housewife Kate Miller (Angie Dickinson) has a session with her psychiatrist, Dr Elliott (Michael Caine), she silently seduces a man in an art gallery - an assignation that ends in murder and the only witness, high-class prostitute Liz Blake (Nancy Allen), being stalked by the killer in turn.

One of De Palma's darkest and most controversial suspense thrillers, Arrow Video is proud to present this iconic neo-Hitchcockian masterwork in stunning 4K alongside a raft of archival and newly commissioned bonus features."

NEW UK TITLE: 'The Terminal Man' (1974) - Limited Edition Blu-ray pre-order available from Arrow Films direct - UK$18.00

Release date: March 10

"From the director of Get Carter and the writer of Jurassic Park comes a chilling techno-thriller. George Segal is ... The Terminal Man.

Harry Benson (Segal) is a brilliant computer scientist who suffers from seizures that induce blackouts and violent behaviour. Undergoing experimental surgery, electrodes are implanted in his brain to detect oncoming seizures and stop them with an electrical impulse. But the pleasure centre of his brain becomes addicted to the stimulus, triggering seizures at shorter and shorter intervals. If they become continuous the blackouts will be permanent, and Benson a homicidal killer.

Much admired by Terrence Malick and Stanley Kubrick, Mike Hodges' film of Michael Crichton's novel is an unnerving slow-burn masterpiece long overdue for re-evaluation."

Special Features:

• High Definition (1080p) Blu-ray presentations of both the theatrical and director's cuts of the film
• Original lossless mono audio
• Optional English subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearing
• Brand new audio commentary by film historians Howard S. Berger and Steven Mitchell
• A (Misunderstood) Modernist Masterpiece, a new visual essay by film scholar Josh Nelson
• Who Am I If Not Myself, a new visual essay by Howard S. Berger

• Theatrical trailer
• Image gallery
• Reversible sleeve featuring original and newly commissioned artwork by Sister Hyde
• Illustrated collector's booklet containing new writing by author and critic Guy Adams, plus select archival material
