Extremely, judging by the other Criterions and the fact that Janus is screening the silent Gold Rush currently (right?). Although then I'm a bit confused; the European Blus don't include the silent cut in HD right? So are Criterion creating their own master...? (I hope so, as personally I think almost all the Chaplin MK2 Blus so far are very average).abintra wrote:If it is 'The Gold Rush', is it likely Criterion will be able to include both cuts of the film plus the extras from the MK2/WB DVD?
I wonder if the delay in Chaplin releases is partly due to MK2 not having restored anymore in a year so Criterion is preferring to spread the releases out themselves so that they don't reach a stage where they have to wait 2 years to release the other major titles... I mean there hasn't been a new Blu since The Circus in 2010 right? Leaving Limelight, Verdoux, Woman of Paris and others still to be done...
