I think Criterion must send out the solicits the day before to retail organizations and that's how Criterion Cast gets their information.
Seems odd that it's an all Hollywood month and that there is only one new title to the collection. (if the Criterion Cast teasers hold up, which past months indicte they will)
Hopefully the blus of Days of Heaven and Robinson Crusoe on Mars indicate that Criterion went for another chunk of the Paramount catalog and we'll see some of those titles that went OOP show up in the collection.
well we probably still have an eclipse to be surprised by, three months is about their max without releasing one, and they always release on in january...
I'm thinking Rossellini history films volume 2 maybe.

I think the Rossellini/Bergman boxset would come before that.
I'm a big Wenders fan, so I'll keep my fingers crossed for a Road Movie trilogy.

Hope so, too. But the Rossellini/Bergman films deserve much better than Eclipse.
The last 2 years there was significant Rossellini in January, for what it's worth... In 2009 there was the Eclipse History Films set and the CC LOUIS XIV, while in 2010, this year, it was the CC WAR TRILOGY...

If this is true, why is no one else leaking this information?
Also, how can we intercept his mail so we can find out the announcements a few hours earlier?

Perhaps with these re-issues, we'll see Park Row as well?
Speaking of Fuller, it'd be nice if Forty Guns was afforded the BR it so richly deserves. I can't believe that it wouldn't be in the running the next time Criterion licenses a set of titles from Fox.
