In announcement news today, the good people at Arrow Video have just revealed some great titles they’re working on for May. These include Jim Cummings and PJ McCabe’s The Beta Test (2021) on Blu-ray (in the UK only) on May 8, John Woo’s Hand of Death (1976) on Blu-ray (in the US and Canada only) on May 9, Terry Gilliam’s Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas (1998) in 4K Ultra HD (in the UK only) on May 22, and Michael Mann’s Blackhat (2015) (in the US, UK, and Canada) and Nick Castle’s The Last Starfighter (1984) (in the US and Canada only) on May 29-30. Here’s a look at the cover artwork for the three 4K titles (Amazon.com/co.uk pre-order links will be added when they go live)...

As expected, Imprint Films has also revealed their May slate of Blu-ray titles, which now officially includes John Ford’s The Long Voyage Home (1940), Lesley Selander’s The Catman of Paris (1946), Elliott Nugent’s The Great Gatsby (1949), Robert Mulligan’s The Spiral Road (1962), Harvey Hart’s Bus Riley’s Back in Town (1965), and Jules Dassin’s Up Tight (1968).

Also today, the Warner Archive Collection has set Anatole Litvak’s Confessions of a Nazi Spy (1939), Michael Curtiz’s Flamingo Road (1949), and Edward Buzzell’s Neptune’s Daughter (1949) for Blu-ray release on 3/14.

And here’s some welcome news: The French online retailer Fnac has just set Steven Spielberg’s Duel (1971) for 4K Ultra HD pre-order with a local expected street date of July 12th. You can safely rest assured that means the title is coming here in the States from Universal via SDS around that timeframe as well. Thanks to our friend Javier of Ultra Alta Definición España for the head-up!

That’s all for today. There’s a lot of terrible weather crossing the United States right now, so if you’re in harm’s way out there, stay safe and stay warm. Have a great weekend and we’ll see you back here on Monday.

Cheers!
