Depends if they have the rights or not. If they did wouldn't it make more sense to release both discs in the same month just in time for Halloween?

Possibly, I'd still be surprised if that's one of the announcements tomorrow, my guess is another De Palma film, hope it's a Bava though

Creepshow 2 is certainly possible, since it's another current Boulevard title, but I doubt it will be revealed tomorrow.

It'd be a killer surprise announcement, though!

If that's the case it was a poor choice of words on their behalf.

Stephen Wilson Hmmm, not sure what the ArrowDrome could be, but the other Arrow Video blu-ray is probably Hell Comes to Frogtown.

Arrow Films & Video The other title hasn't been teased yet Stephen so will be very surprised if you guess it

You say the other is probably xxx, and they say the other hasn't been teased. If it's the case it has been announced /teased it's a poor choice of phrase.

They're not going to release Creepshow 2, sadly, they confirmed on their Facebook page. With the recent release in the US, with Arrow's already established connections to Boulevard, with Second Sight putting the original out in the UK, it seems like perfect timing. Perhaps too perfect to be likely though.

Slugs or The Stuff would be fantastic. They were also Boulevard titles.

Slugs would make a nice double-bill with Squirm

[keirarts]

Really looking forward to white of the eye. Not seen it since VHS days.

[Stephen@Cult Labs]

Yeah, it could be interpreted a few ways. I took it as a reply to me saying I had no idea what the Arrowdrome title was, and they said it hadn't been teased yet. Of course, it could be taken as the other Arrow Video blu-ray. They have surprised us before with something not previously hinted at.

But then again, Arrow themselves haven't mentioned Hellgate.......Guess we'll know in 3 hours anyway!

THE LONG GOODBYE ARROW ACADEMY BLU-RAY

NOTHING SAYS GOODBYE LIKE A BULLET

When private eye Philip Marlowe (Elliott Gould) is visited by an old friend, this sets in train a series of events in which he’s hired to search for a missing novelist (Sterling Hayden) and finds himself on the wrong side of vicious gangsters.

So far so faithful to Raymond Chandler, but Robert Altman’s inspired adaptation of the writer’s most personal novel takes his legendary detective and relocates him to the selfish, hedonistic culture of 1970s Hollywood, where he finds that his old-fashioned notions of honour and loyalty carry little weight, and even his smoking (universal in film noir) is now frowned upon.

Widely misunderstood at the time, The Long Goodbye is now regarded as one of Altman’s best films and one of the outstanding American films of its era, with Gould’s shambling, cat-obsessed Marlowe ranking alongside more outwardly faithful interpretations by Humphrey Bogart and Robert Mitchum.

BIG TROUBLE IN LITTLE CHINA ARROW VIDEO BLU-RAY STEELBOOK


Following Escape from New York and The Thing, John Carpenter and Kurt Russell re-unite for this mystical, action, adventure, comedy, kung-fu, monster, ghost story!

Russell plays Jack Burton, a reasonable guy who is about to experience some unreasonable things in San Francisco’s Chinatown. As his friend’s fiancée is kidnapped Jack becomes embroiled in a centuries-old battle between good and evil. At the root of it all is Lo Pan, a 2000-year-old magician who rules an empire of evil spirits. Jack goes to the rescue dodging demons, goblins and the unstoppable Three Storms as he battles through Lo Pan’s dark domain.

One of Carpenters most enjoyable and best loved films, Big Trouble in Little China brilliantly juggles delirious set-pieces, comedy and kung-fu action with a razor sharp script of corking one-liners, as Jack would say “It’s all in the reflexes”.
