Considering King of Comedy is a Disney title, I doubt it. Has a better chance of coming from Criterion. It's more likely to be Casino (they did release Carlito's Way on 4K shortly after Universal did theirs), or somehow could believably be Joker or Anchorman considering their oddly contemporary WB and Paramount licenses. But there's also an Italian period film called Red Coat directed by Joe D'Amato that if this was 2018 I would believe Arrow would release.

The Patriot...Arrow getting on the Maga train, sad to say.

Or to offer a serious guess, since Arrow has the Morgan Creek titles in the UK, Mann's The Last of the Mohicans?

The Last of the Mohicans 4K would be excellent, been hoping they'd get around to it eventually (been too long, starting to give up hope tbh). Casino 4K would be great of course, especially since it's a Scorsese title I haven't yet upgraded to 4K, and probably still my favourite of his 'gangster' oeuvre. If it's either of those, I'll definitely consider a pre-order

PS: Was tempted by the past few months by several Arrow titles (The Good, the Bad, the Weird, Demolition Man, Inglourious Basterds, Incubus, The Cell, The Gift, A Certain Killer/A Killer's Key, Cruising 4K, Play it Cool, Dressed to Kill 4K, The Terminal Man) but other pre-orders took priority so will probably wait for a sale for most of those now. A shame they don't tell us how many copies are made available initially as that would help us decide which to prioritise.

Casino would be wonderful. The 4K master is impeccable but Universal’s UHD encode can be improved upon just like Inglorious. Scarface would be an even bigger upgrade in that area. In both cases, newer bonus features and the original audio mixes would also be greatly appreciated. For all of these reasons, Carlito’s Way is one of my favorite Arrow 4Ks.

Arrow have teased/practically announced a 4K of House with Laughing Windows on social media (it was on Instagram apparently).

Per Reddit:
The Long Kiss Goodbye has just been leaked and is possibly what the red coat clue was for.

that is quite an amazing cover

indeed. Scarface was the first 4k I bought and I sold it pretty quickly as I wasn't happy with the weird encoding.

I'm happy with the Universal Carlito's Way as I like the original cover and prefer to have a 4k with a Blu-ray.

I second that. It’s a movie which has kind of escaped my attention but I’m curious to see the bells and whistles that will come with this edition.

It would, but whether it's viable depends on who owns it - it was distributed (although, potentially importantly, not originally made) by 20th Century-Fox.

I love F/X 2 and most of Richard Franklin’s catalog. Wish they could’ve gotten a commentary with screenwriter Bill Condon. This film has one of my all-time favorite endings

Does Warners still have the Science of Sleep? Would be great to see that finally make it to English-friendly Blu, and there's a whole alternate movie they could include with different takes/scenes that never got subbed either

clue for Friday

Posted: **Wed Feb 26, 2025 3:46 pm**

On reddit, someone found a listing for Jason Goes to Hell (cover fitting a similar format to their previous Friday the 13th release), so I'm assuming it's that.

Posted: **Wed Feb 26, 2025 5:11 pm**

Any horror films set in the Cayman Islands?

Posted: **Wed Feb 26, 2025 11:12 pm**

Jason Goes To Hell and Jason X were accidentally listed on Grindhouse before they were taken down. Someone managed to take a screenshot of the Jason Goes To Hell 4K.

Grindhouse still has a pre-order listing for Jackie Chan's Crime Story live on their site, with a release date of May 26.
