Hmmm. Checked out the Video fb page cause I assumed that’s the line it’d be released through, and found they’re also working on a UK edition of their Creepshow 2 release. With different colours to the US edition, for all those OCD collectors out there.
There also was a purple outer case, maybe for Canada.

I bet there's someone out there who already has both Nth American colours and is crying over their breakfast, that they'll have to buy two more copies of it.

HanWay has struck a deal with UK distributor Arrow Films to handle distribution and restorations in the UK of the Jeremy Thomas collection, with films including multi-Oscar winning epic The Last Emperor, John Malkovich-Debra Winger romance The Sheltering Sky and David Cronenberg’s Naked Lunch. Arrow recently re-released HanWay’s David Bowie-starrer Merry Christmas Mr Lawrence.

HanWay is currently restoring around five titles a year with recent updates including David Cronenberg’s Crash, which screened at Venice. Upcoming is Gary Oldman’s Nil By Mouth.
https://deadline.com/2020/05/hanway-las ... 202925239/

Full list of titles that HanWay lists as part of the Jeremy Thomas collection:
Blood & Wine (1996)
The Last Emperor (1987)
Everybody Wins (1990)
Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence (1982)
The Hit (1984)
Naked Lunch (1991)
Insignifiance (1984)
The Sheltering Sky (1990)
The wording of the Deadline article isn't super obvious so no idea where the restoration of the Cronenberg Crash mentioned in it is landing

Would love to have good blus of all those that havent already had a release.

I am guessing Nil by Mouth and Crash are not part of the Jeremy Thomas collection but Hanyway still holds the rights.

The article states that Crash was sold to 15 different territories after it's restoration premiered in Venice with multiple theatrical releases planned. It seems to be a separate deal from the Jeremy Thomas collection. It's worth noting that David Cronenberg was going to be a featured guest at Texas Frightmare which Arrow sponsors. Arrow usually has a big yearly reveal at the festival. They may have picked up US/CA on Crash.

Hopefully it'll come with copies of Criterion's laserdisc, so we can watch the film with their commentary track - somehow.

The BFI announced this as forthcoming, was it early this year it was meant to be released? At least this suggests the reason for its holdup. In regard to all those other films mentioned, I really wish someone would do something with Paul Cox's filmography. He's one filmmaker who's been stunningly neglected in pretty much every format, at least not for any extended period.

The BFI release of Nil By Mouth is still forthcoming, as per Ben Stoddart on Facebook today. The hold up is to ensure that Gary Oldman can be involved with the transfer and extras.

I second the need for a Paul Cox rediscovery. Man of Flowers is a tremendous work. Actually, a lot of major Dutch filmmakers' works are
languishing (e.g. Marleen Gorris' A Question of Silence and Rademaker's Max Havelaar and The Assault, the only Oscar-winning
foreign language film of the last 40 years to not be out on DVD, I believe).

Arrow Academy clue -> https://twitter.com/Academy_Arrow/statu ... 04320?s=19

Someone suggested Dead Ringers. Is that possible?

I suspect that would be an Arrow Video release.

If somehow the UK rights reverted to Morgan Creek yes, but think Dead Ringers is with ITV in the UK and I don't think Arrow has released anything from them.

Google image returns infant. So maybe AE lost the rights to L'enfant

I was wondering if it might be Melville's Les Enfants Terribles. But that seems unlikely.

If it's Dead Ringers, they better be doing a new transfer.

Are there any C-list film noir owned by Sony which features babies or cradles? Because its probably that.

Hate to break it to you but there’s no way Arrow would release Dead Ringers under Academy and not Video.

Maybe it's Adaptation? They've released some Sony titles under the Academy line. The old blu seems to be oop. (third party sellers asking $69 on amazon.com)

Hope so.

It has been pointed out in a post at the blu-ray.com forums that Yasuzô Masumura's Black Test Car and The Black Report have been submitted to the BBFC by Arrow.

Any Masumura would be absolutely incredible as he's been vastly underseen and underappreciated.

Seconded, the handful of Masumura DVDs from Fantoma way back only scratched the surface of his huge and impressive filmography, and the Yume Picutres UK dvds I've seen are very low quality. I just watched A Wife Confesses with the great Wakao Ayako, his stuff is always fascinating.

He'd make for another nice box set I can't afford.

Now I must get this question off my chest. So L’Atlantide including both Feyder and Pabst versions isn’t on the cards anymore?

It's for Toto the Hero, per the MVD website.

Hopefully coming to the US as well. I've been hungering for this film for so long it's embaressing.
