This is still unconfirmed, but I have received two separate reports from individuals who are not ones to spread misinformation. They indicated their information came from first hand sources privvy to the situation.
Apparently Fox has decided to go ahead and begin releasing DVDs of the Charlie Chan and Mr. Moto (Peter Lorre) series starting in March of 2006. The tentative release schedule calls for waves of 4 films each to be released throughout the year. All of the Motos and all of the Warner Oland Chans will be released in 2006. The Sidney Toler Chans would logically follow in 2007 (perhaps in time for the new Lucy Liu project?).
If this pans out, I give enormous credit to FHE for listening to the many consumers that have asked for this to happen. Their classic film DVDs of late have all looked wonderful, and I'm confident that these will as well. Regardless of past misgivings of how Fox treated these films that will be past history once these are released, and I intend to fully support these releases.
Again, not confirmed, but strongly rumored.
