Frank Henenlotter also stated on his FB page that the screenings of the new restoration will be held in October, so BD should be released around that time.

He was genuinely baffled when MOMA approached him about obtaining BASKET CASE for their collection. The first question he asked them was "have you even seen it?!" Ha! He has provided them with every available element for their restoration and is confident it will look incredible.
He also told me why the original audio commentary for Brain Damage will not be included on the Arrow release. Apparently a good friend of his passed away right before the commentary recording session and he felt the track was never satisfactory. As a result, he recorded a brand new one for Arrow that he said would have a lot of great information.
In my picture below, you can see Rick Hearst (star of Brain Damage) poking his around Frank.
