Looks like Zavvi have jumped the gun!!!

They have got a new listing for 'Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves Deluxe' 4K Ultra HD Steelbook - Limited Edition Zavvi Exclusive (includes Blu-ray) - £39:99

Release Date: November 28

"Sometimes the only way to uphold justice is to break the law.

From Errol Flynn to Disney, Hollywood has long been fascinated with the legend of Robin Hood. Helmed by director Kevin Reynolds (Waterworld, The Count of Monte Cristo), Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves pays homage to the past while transforming the famous outlaw of Sherwood Forest into a movie icon fit for the 1990s.

Robin of Locksley (Kevin Costner, Waterworld) returns from the Crusades to find his father dead and vows revenge. With his Moorish companion Azeem (Morgan Freeman, Unforgiven), he joins a band of peasant rebels to do battle against the wicked Sheriff of Nottingham (Alan Rickman, Die Hard) and win the hand of the fair Maid Marian (Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio, The Abyss), cousin of the absent King of England.

This grand, swashbuckling adventure in the classic tradition is brought to life by an all-star supporting cast, including Christian Slater (True Romance), Brian Blessed (Flash Gordon) and a memorable cameo from Sean Connery (himself a former Robin Hood), plus an instantly recognisable score by Michael Kamen (Highlander) – not to mention a chart-topping Bryan Adams theme song. Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves dazzles in an all-new 4K restoration, accompanied by a king’s ransom of new and archival bonus features."

'The Wolf Of Wall Street' (2013)

Limited Edition 4K - Arrow RRP: £35:00
Limited Edition Blu-Ray - Arrpw RRp - £30:00

Release Date: November 7

"More Is Never Enough.

Few filmmakers depict greed and amorality on screen like Martin Scorsese. Thrilling, glamourous, seductive: his unflinching eye sees all and refuses to look away. Nominated for five Academy Awards including Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Actor, The Wolf of Wall Street is a monstrous masterpiece, equal parts hilarious and horrifying.

Leonardo DiCaprio is on dazzling form in the frenetic true life tale of New York stock-broker Jordan Belfort and his rise from boiler room brokerage firm to a decadent life of obscene wealth, stratospheric drug-use, and rampant corruption. Spiralling out of control as government investigators close in, Belfort’s fall is as spectacular as his meteoric rise.

Arrow Video is proud to present a director-approved 4K transfer (making its UK premiere) of this extraordinary ode to American excess, in a special edition as sleek and sharp as the Wolf himself.

NEW UK/US/CA TITLE: Incredible But True [2022]

Arrow Blu-Ray RRP: £18:00

Release Date: November 7

"Quirky, deadpan humour, an absurdist eye for French social etiquette and a keen sense of the folly of existence are among the hallmarks of the oddball comedies of director Quentin Dupieux (Rubber, Deerskin, Smoking Causes Coughing), and Incredible But True is no different.

Alain (Alain Chabat, Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets) and Marie (Léa Drucker, War of the Worlds) are a middle-aged bourgeois couple who move to their new house in a quiet suburb. A key feature of their new abode that the estate agent points out to them is a mysterious tunnel in the basement. Little do they realise that it will turn their lives upside down...

Shot during the pandemic under quarantine conditions, Incredible But True is an inventive and nimble tale that perfectly showcases the singular and eccentric vision that has made Dupieux the most exciting director working in France today.."

Special Features

• High Definition (1080p) Blu-ray presentation
• Original 5.1 DTS-HD MA surround audio and optional lossless stereo audio
• Optional English subtitles
• Cast and director Interviews with Alain Chabat, Benoît Magimel and Quentin Dupieux

NEW UK/US/CA TITLE: Audrey Rose [1977]

Arrow Blu-Ray RRP: £18:00

Release Date: November 7

"Master filmmaker Robert Wise began his career with horror classics The Curse of the Cat People and The Body Snatcher for producer Val Lewton. His career would go on to include westerns, thrillers, science fiction and musicals, earning him two Academy Awards for Best Director. In 1963 he returned to his Lewtonian roots with the classic ghost story The Haunting; In 1977 he returned once more with the supernatural thriller Audrey Rose.

All Bill and Jane Templeton wish for is a quiet, peaceful life with their 11-year-old daughter Ivy. But their dreams turn to nightmares as Ivy is besieged first by terrifying ‘memories’ of events that never occurred... and then by a mysterious stranger who stalks her every move, and claims that Ivy was in fact his daughter in another life.

Released in the wake of The Exorcist and The Omen, Audrey Rose is an intelligent, heartfelt drama that approaches its subject with an open mind and seriousness of intent that caught many off guard but typifies Wise’s previous genre forays. Sensitively played by a sterling cast at the top of their game, this underseen gem deserves a place on the shelf of any fan of classic horror"

All of the releases were leaked yesterday due to Zavvi's website, I must say I have never been so underwhelmed in my life when it comes to an Arrow Video monthly announcement. I probably would have bought one of the 20 variations of Price of Thieves but I actually re-watched it last year and it found it very dull.

[Stephen@Cult Labs]

I would't be surprised if we see The Last of The Mohicans annouced soon (probably on 4K).

[Rob4]

I hope the mainstream releases will do well for them and help fund the some proper cult items.

I'll get Audrey Rose in a sale.

[Demdike@Cult Labs]

Absolutely nothing of interest there for me.

[peter alex]

nothing for me ether i was looking forward to seeing what they were going to release but its a no from me i now where my money is going
