Tom Tykwer's 'Run Lola Run' Sprints For A Solo 4K UHD Disc July 30thAfter enjoying a rest with the 13-Film Sony Pictures Classics 4K set, Sony is sending Tom Tykwer's iconic multiversal thriller 'Run Lola Run' to the solo-disc races. All indications are this is the same disc as before, only without ten other films... and possibly without a slipcover. Run Lola Run is a hell of a film with a banger of a soundtrack. It looks amazing in 4K Dolby Vision and that German 5.1 mix is a beast. But, you'd only know that if you bought the 11-film Sony Pictures Classics 4K box set. Which is a great set if you wanted all of those other films. For those you didn't want the box set, well, Lola is taking another run on 4K, this time on her own! All indications for this press release tell me this is the same great disc as before. It doesn't indicate if the English and Spanish dubbed tracks will be included or not. My guess is that they will be and this is just a simple repackage without the custom slipcover - we've put in a question about that and when we get news we'll update. until then here's to 25 years of Run Lola Run! Run Lola Run - 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray SYNOPSIS A thrilling post-MTV roller-coaster ride, RUN LOLA RUN is the internationally acclaimed sensationabout two star-crossed lovers who have only minutes to change the course of their lives. Time is running out for Lola (Franka Potente). She’s just received a frantic phone call from her boyfriend Manni (Moritz Bleibtreu), who’s lost a small fortune belonging to his mobster boss. If Lola doesn’t replace the money in twenty minutes, Manni will surely suffer severe consequences. Written and directed by Tom Tykwer.

Arrow Announces and Details September 2024 4K UHD and Blu-ray TitlesArrow Video's September 2024 4K UHD Blu-ray and Blu-ray lineup includes The Chronicles of Riddick (4K & Blu-ray), The Threat on Blu-ray, Torso on 4K UHD Blu-ray with an Arrow store exclusive slipcover version, Friday the 13th (2009) on 4K UHD Blu-ray, and the UK only Love, Death & Apocalypse: Three Films by Álex de la Iglesia in 4K UHD & Blu-ray. Did you hope to save some cash in September? Well, the bad news is you might want to check the couch cushions because Arrow is making sure we need to scrounge up all the spare change we can find! The Chronicles of Riddick - 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray (Arrow Limited Edition) Following the sleeper success of their breakthrough sci-fi/horror smash Pitch Black, writer-director David Twohy and star Vin Diesel reunited for 2004’s action-packed The Chronicles of Riddick, an expansive and ambitious sequel that took their eponymous antihero to the farthest reaches of the galaxy. Riddick (Diesel) is an intergalactic fugitive whose dark past catches up with him when he is lured out of hiding by Imam (Keith David, The Thing), another survivor of the planet of horrors they barely escaped from five years earlier. Now out of the shadows, Riddick is identified by an ethereal emissary (Academy Award winner Dame Judi Dench) as the descendant of an ancient race of warriors who may be the universe’s last hope against the Necromongers, an evil army of fanatics intent on bending the world to their will. As enemies close in on all sides, including the ruthless Lord Marshal (Colm Feore, Thor) and his scheming lieutenant Vaako (Karl Urban, The Boys), Riddick finds himself a reluctant saviour of the cosmos, with only his razor-sharp wits and cunning killer instinct standing in the way of total annihilation. At long last, Twohy and Diesel’s hard-hitting outer-space epic has been restored in glorious 4K, with hours of incisive bonus features exploring every detail of this densely-constructed and masterfully-executed mythology. 4K ULTRA HD LIMITED EDITION CONTENTS Brand new 4K restorations by Arrow Films of the Theatrical and Director's Cuts of the film, approved by David Twohy Original DTS-HD

Threat (Arrow Limited Edition) IMPRISONED IN HIS OWN HOME! The Threat is a gritty crime drama in the vein of Kurosawa’s High and Low, set against the backdrop of a rapidly modernizing Japan that has left many of its citizens behind. Misawa (Rentar? Mikuni, Fugitive from the Past, Vengeance is Mine) appears to lead a charmed life, the very model of Japan’s post-war economic miracle. His position as the account manager of a prestigious advertising agency is enough to pay the mortgage on the spacious modern house he shares with his wife (Masumi Harukawa, Intentions of Murder) and their two young boys, kitted out with all the latest mod-cons. Then one day, the fragility of his existence is revealed when two violent jail-breakers turn up on his doorstep seeking refuge and threatening to embroil Misawa in their criminal activities. Arrow Video presents this little-seen early masterpiece from Kinji Fukasaku, the future director of Battles Without Honor and Humanity and Battle Royale, for the very first time outside of its own country in a stunning new transfer.

Among the most highly acclaimed of these, 1973’s Torso revels in the genre’s time-honored traditions while simultaneously laying the groundwork for the modern slasher movie. A sex maniac is prowling the streets of Perugia, targeting the picturesque university town’s female students. Alarmed at the plummeting life expectancy of the student body, Jane (Suzy Kendall, The Bird with the Crystal Plumage) and her three friends elope to a secluded country villa – only to discover that, far from having left the terror behind, they’ve brought it with them! Also known as Carnal Violence, Torso was released in Italy towards the end of the giallo boom before enjoying a second life on the American grindhouse circuit. Co-starring Tina Aumont (Salon Kitty) and Luc Merenda (The Violent Professionals), the film finds its director at the top of his game, delivering copious levels of violence, sleaze, and one of the tensest cat-and-mouse games ever committed to celluloid! 4K ULTRA HD BLU-RAY LIMITED EDITION CONTENTS Brand new 4K restoration by Arrow Films from the original camera negative 4K (2160p) Ultra HD Blu-ray presentation in Dolby Vision (HDR10 compatible) of the 94-minute Italian and 90-minute English-language export versions of the film Restored original lossless Italian and English mono soundtracks* Original Italian and English front and end titles and insert shots Optional English subtitles for the Italian soundtrack Optional English subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearing for the English soundtrack Audio commentary by Kat Ellinger, author of All the Colours of Sergio Martino All the Colors of Terror – interview with co-writer/director Sergio Martino The Discreet Charm of the Genre – interview with actor Luc Merenda Dial S for Suspense – interview with co-writer Ernesto Gastaldi Women in Blood – interview with filmmaker Federica Martino, daughter of Sergio Martino Saturating the Screen – interview with Mikel J.

Friday the 13th (2009) - 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray (Arrow Limited Edition) In 2003, director Marcus Nispel made a lasting impression on horror fans with his box-office-topping remake The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Six years later, he turned his camera to another slasher icon, none other than the hulking masked killer Jason Voorhees, in his gore-soaked remake of Friday the 13th. A group of oblivious teenagers choose Camp Crystal Lake as the destination for a weekend getaway. Among them, the young Clay Miller (Jared Padalecki, Supernatural) is not looking for fun and frolics, but for his sister Whitney who disappeared around the lake six weeks earlier. The trip turns into a waking nightmare as the bloodthirsty Jason emerges from the shadows, wielding a deadly machete and out for blood. Cut off from civilization, these youths discover too late that Crystal Lake bears the scars of a violent past as they uncover the terrifying events that spurred the masked killer’s quest for violent vengeance. Nispel’s taut direction and the stunning cinematography by Daniel Pearl – whose credits include the original Texas Chain Saw Massacre as well as the remake – bring a fresh and terrifying new perspective to the infamous hockeymasked maniac, sure to bring chills and thrills to even hardened horror veterans! 4K ULTRA HD BLU-RAY LIMITED EDITION CONTENTS Two cuts of the film, the Theatrical Cut (97 mins) and the extended Killer Cut (105 mins) Double-sided foldout poster featuring original and newly commissioned artwork by Gary Pullin Limited edition Greetings from Crystal Lake Postcard Illustrated collector’s booklet featuring new writing on the film by Matt Konopka and Alexandra West Reversible sleeve featuring original and newly commissioned artwork by Gary Pullin DISC ONE: THEATRICAL CUT 4K (2160p) Ultra HD Blu-ray presentation in Dolby Vision (HDR10 compatible) of the Theatrical Cut Original 5.1 DTS-HD Master Audio sound Optional English subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearing Brand new audio commentary by director Marcus Nispel Brand new audio commentary by writers Mark Swift and Damian Shannon Brand new interview with director Marcus Nispel Brand new interview with writers Mark Swift and Damian Shannon Brand new interview with cinematographer Daniel Pearl A Killer New Beginning, an exclusive video essay about why horror fans shouldn’t fear remakes, what 2009’s Friday the 13th remake gets right, and why the film serves as a perfect template for future franchise remakes by film critic Matt Donato Excerpts from the Terror Trivia Track The Rebirth of Jason Voorhees archival featurette Hacking Back / Slashing Forward archival featurette The 7 Best Kills archival featurette Deleted scenes Original teaser, trailer and TV spots Electronic press kit Image gallery DISC TWO: KILLER CUT 4K (2160p) Ultra HD Blu-ray presentation in Dolby Vision (HDR10 compatible) of the Killer Cut Original 5.1 DTSHD Master Audio sound Optional English subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearing Brand new audio commentary by film critics Alexandra Heller-Nicholas and Josh Nelson Love, Death & Apocalypse: Three Films by Álex de la Iglesia - 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray (Arrow Limited Edition) (UK Import) Outrageous, absurdist, grotesque! Often hilarious, always stylish, and utterly unpredictable, the films of Spanish director Álex de la Iglesia are an exhilarating shock to the cinematic system. Produced by legendary provocateur Pedro Almodóvar, de la Iglesia’s debut feature Acción Mutante is a violent sci-fi black comedy set in a post-apocalyptic world where attractive people hold all the power and a terrorist group, who see themselves as mutants, take arms to rid the world of their superficial oppressors. With his second feature, The Day of the Beast (El día de la bestia) de la Iglesia delivered one of the greatest horror comedies of all time as a Catholic priest joins forces with a heavy metal fan, and the host of a popular occult TV show to kill the Antichrist on Christmas Eve. A critical and commercial success around the world, The Day of the Beast paved the way for gonzo action-crime-horror Perdita Durango, (aka Dance with the Devil) a Spanish-US-Mexican co-production based on a novel by Barry Gifford (author of Wild at Heart). Starring Rosie Perez (Do the Right Thing), a then little known Javier Bardem (No Country for Old Men) and James Gandolfini (The Sopranos), Perdita Durango is a twisted tale of love, guns, drugs, voodoo ceremonies, and refrigerated foetuses... Making their UK debut on 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray with a wealth of new and archival extras, Arrow Video welcomes you to the delirious, diabolical and demented world of Álex de la Iglesia.

Unobstructed View Unleashes Caligula: The Ultimate Cut Limited Numbered 4K UHD & Blu-ray on 9/17Unobstructed View is bringing Tinto Brass' newly restored 'Caligula: The Ultimate Cut' - the scene-by-scene reconfiguration of the controversial epic chronicling the Roman Empire’s most debauched emperor for a limited numbered 4K UHD Blu-ray release. “We have been waiting for the right vehicle with which to amp up our US game and this film is it - notorious, rare and collectible,” says UV’s founder and President Jonathan Gross, who licensed UV’s rights from Drafthouse Films. “We are thrilled that Drafthouse Films has chosen to work with us. We are also thrilled to have Diabolik on board because they are a leading provider of curated home entertainment.” Tormented by the murder of his family, the young, wary Caligula (Malcolm McDowell) eliminates his devious adoptive grandfather Tiberius (Peter O'Toole) and seizes control of the declining Roman Empire as it descends into a spiral of depravity, destruction and madness. Restoring the complete performances of McDowell and O'Toole along with fellow film legends Helen Mirren and John Gielgud, this extensive reconstruction of the notorious 1980 spectacle, based on the original narrative as conceived by writer Gore Vidal, had its world premiere at the 2023 Cannes Film Festival. Showcasing the sumptuous costume designs of two-time Oscar winner Danilo Donati (Fellini's Cassanova; Romeo & Juliet), CALIGULA: THE ULTIMATE CUT features an entirely new score by Troy Sterling Nies, as well as a new animated title sequence by graphic artist Dave McKean (Arkham Asylum, The Sandman).

Do You Have It In You To Make Your Collection Epic? 'Furiosa' Rides Onto 4K UHD & Blu-ray August 13The 2023 box office has been a brutal run for some of the biggest movies of the year. Even with high praise from critics and fans, George Miller's Fury Road prequel Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga found itself on the wrong side of the wasteland. Now it rides onto the glory of physical media on August 13th. Considering the critical praise and the massive marketing campaign, it'll be something of a mystery as to why Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga missed at the global box office - but sadly it did. Now, after a sadly anemic run in theaters, George Miller's latest epic trip to the Wasteland will explode onto 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray, SteelBook, and Blu-ray before the summer heat wears off. I for one dug the hell out of this film. It's a different beast than Fury Road, its pace and thrust were on a different scale, but Hemsworth was wild as our villain, I thought Anya Taylor-Joy held her own, and I dug how well this one dovetailed into Fury Road while also connecting bits and pieces to the 2015 Mad Max game. Judging from the back cover art on Amazon, it looks like we'll have Doby Vision HDR and Atmos for the 4K disc.

The iconic performance from the iconic comedian will be enjoyed by generations old and new when it makes its 4K debut this September in a package that will be presented in Dolby Vision HDR. The release will also include a digital copy. If Richard Pryor were accused of being the funniest man in America, this film of his incredible stage act would be Exhibit A.

Finally, he talks about Pryor on Fire—a recounting of the accident which nearly took his life—an episode he relates with wit and a touch of poignancy. You'll laugh like you've never laughed before!
