I'm definitely thinking The Gold Rush.

Seriously would not be surprised if the stylized shading on the mountains makes a Chaplin face.zedz wrote:With a giant stylized Chaplin head featuring a beak in place of the moustache. You heard it here first!

Not saying that this is wrong, but Nanook of the North was presented at last summer's Flaherty Film Seminar in a 4k scan, so it does exist in a new HD master.Drucker wrote:I thought the supposed Nanook clue turned out to be Letter Never Sent?

Sorry, I missed the post on the umbrella.
I say if it isn't Gold Rush, then someone sends Criterion a virus that turns all their pictures into posters for The Gold Rush.
Unless, they announce City Lights... But after that...

What about a BD upgrade for Downhill Racer? Is that a ski-iable JPEG?

Re: Criterion Facebook and Twitter
They posted a lot about Polanski and Knife in the Water lately so I wonder if that's due for a Blu upgrade in their June lineup.

Criterion is posting like mad about L'Avventura on their Facebook page today. Seems ripe for an upgrade, could this be in lieu of a beginning-of-the-month hint?

Re: Criterion Facebook and Twitter
Once again, it's the anniversary of the film's premiere. I wouldn't read too much into it.

Re: Criterion Facebook and Twitter
It's also I understand a film for which Janus/Criterion own North American rights outright since that premiere 41 years ago, so it's not beyond the bounds of possibility that this is coming to Blu imminently...
And it's the 100th anniversary of Antonioni's birth in September too...

Just noticed the L'avventura clip in the Youtube video inlay on Criterion's new website page The Dawn of L'avventura can be run in HD 1080p resolution... Another pointer to a Blu Ray coming?...

Over half of the movies on Hulu are HD 1080p including much of the Eclipse sets....ellipsis7 wrote:Just noticed the L'avventura clip in the Youtube video inlay on Criterion's new website page The Dawn of L'avventura can be run in HD 1080p resolution...

But we know the Eclipse sets are sourced from hi-def transfers. The reason most have been floating as to why L'Avventura hasn't been upgraded yet is their original master used for the DVD wasn't hi-def

No. They have HD masters for almost all of their titles. Recently they've uploaded 1080p clips from The Friends of Eddie Coyle, Naked Lunch, Knife in the Water, Vampyr, etc.ellipsis7 wrote: can be run in HD 1080p resolution... Another pointer to a Blu Ray coming?...

Re: Criterion Facebook and Twitter
Compare and contrast...
Criterion's L'avventura trailer streamed on Youtube (in 2006) at just 360p...
To stream at 1080p you presumably need an HD 1080p master, which in L'avventura's case means a new transfer... The original 2001 transfer was a 'stunning new digital transfer' in SD, just before they started making HD transfers.... All those clips you mention, Eerik, already had HD transfers extant...

In a perfect world, this would mean The Unbearable Lightness of Being is getting rereleased. But that isn't happening.

Actually, if it were a perfect world, it would be a Criterion edition of The Wanderers, but that's never going to happen!

Henry & June would look quite nice on Blu.
