Any info on the Chaplin Collection Volume 2?
I know the first Chaplin Collection is out 7/1. But the set doesn't include "City Lights," my favorite of all his films. Does anyone know when Volume 2 will be released? I thought I read somewhere that it's out this Septemeber? But I haven't heard anymore about it. Also, if "City Lights" will be a part of Volume 2?

The press release announcing Volume 1 says:
However, in a New York Times article published yesterday, it says
Additionally, a second wave of The Chaplin Collection will be released in Fall of 2003, and will include four more two-disc DVDs of Chaplin's greatest films to be announced later this year.
Others, including The Kid (1921), City Lights (1931), Monsieur Verdoux (1947) and A King in New York (1957), are scheduled for early next year.

I also want City Lights. I actually found a copy earlier this year, but sold it off when it was announced as being released this June. Then, of course, it was not to be included with the first wave. I know where I can get another copy, but I'll most likely just wait for the new one. Hopefully, an official announcement will be made soon.

Incidentally, just got the R2 Complete Boxset and was very impressed also with them being PAL transfers and with being in R2 they aren't plagued by the 'ghosting' issue which bothered some from the R1's being PAL-NTSC transfers.

UCLA is currently screening all the films from the first boxset. After the Modern Times screening I asked Jeffrey Vance, Chaplin biographer and Warner employee, when to expect City Lights and the second boxset. He said that Warner is waffling between February and April. He didn't say what other films were included in the set.
For those in LA, he also said that UCLA will continue screening the Chaplin films as there released.
