100 appears to possibly be a totally new emulation where 200 is just a rebrand of Color Plus 200 from what I can tell.
How could you tell? Wasn't able to find a lot of info so far.. some speculation that the ISO 100 might be ProImage, but this might just be speculation as both happen to be ISO 100..

Plenty of articles and speculation out there already, just as you say about 100 possibly being Pro Image or even the film they make that is sold as Lomography CN 100.
No datasheet from Eastman yet, but I'm sure the smart people at photrio will have densitometry and spectral response curves for everyone to argue over in no time.
Here's hoping this is just the start of Eastman launching more film options

A give a loud pssshaaah to some of those smart people at photrio. Cliff note’s version- ‘the real rating of this iso 400 film is actually 25’…..
And then post test shots which look four stops overexposed.
FindLab posted that they’re working on a comparison against existing Kodak films and hinted that they think the emulsions are not new. Guess we’ll see soon.
As long as it improves commercial availability at good prices I’m all for it..
I received an email from Cinestill touting the "new" Kodacolor films. Interestingly they referred to Kodak "bringing back the Kodacolor name". There was no mention of it being a new emulsion. With all this rebranding of existing but unknown films, how is one supposed to know what they are actually shooting?
I find the rebranding business bordering on being misleading.
Wasn't ProImage an Asian market film anyways? It was just sort of re-imported by a few bigger film retailers somehow. Maybe this is just a global rebranding.
Romping Bronco says its ProImage and Colorplus being rebranded to compete better against upcoming Chinese manufactured film.
While I don't care about the rebranding, so long as I know what it is, Kodak will be marketing two films under the same name that have quite a different look. I like ProImage and Gold. I'm not a fan of Colorplus.

Is it confirmed that its Proimage? There is also the option that it is the same emulsion as Lomo Colornegative 100..
The main thing about this rebrand is that these films will be sold by Eastman Kodak, not Kodak Alaris. This could result in lower prices or higher margins for Kodak, both of which could be good for film shooters.
Kodak Alaris no longer lists ProImage and Colorplus on their website (kodakprofessional.com), only showing Ultramax and Gold now for "Everyday Film". Seems to point to Eastman taking over distribution of them from Alaris, rather than any net-new offering.
Curious if Alaris is planning to hand off more distribution to Eastman, like Ultramax, Gold, or even the "professional" lines.
