Forthcoming Lists Discussion and Random Speculation Vol.3

[Forrest Taft]

Actually, that would be fantastic. A really good one, Zardoz, and I would love to have it on blu. Boorman makes my day.

Yeah, absolutely. 'Zardoz' would be one of my favorite releases easily.

[Napier]

It's buried somewhere on the boards, I seem to remember calling a Zardoz Criterion release, years ago. A Blu-ray would be fantastic.

[THX1378]

I've been reading around on other posts but is it pretty much in the cards that were getting Heaven's Gate next year?

[knives]

If the readings of poorly pixelated scribbles can be trusted.

[matrixschmatrix]

As I recall, there were hints that it was coming before that, so it seems like a fair guess. Though, confusingly, Errol Morris's Gates of Heaven is also a rumored title.

[HistoryProf]

I'll go with:

Emigrants/New Land box
Y tu Mama Tambien
Bitter Rice
Sunday Bloody Sunday
Gold Rush

Upgrades:
Ace in the Hole
Wild Strawberries
Night Porter
Picnic at Hanging Rock

[Jeff]

Upgrades:
Ace in the Hole

From your lips to Peter Becker's ear. [-o<

[onedimension]

Are the announcements today or Friday? What've we had for recent clues? Godzilla, Moment of Truth, Cronenbergs, wackkydrunkdog.jpg?

[SpiderBaby]

Friday. Belle de Jour and Moment of Truth seems to be certain.

There's going to be a huge uproar on Facebook tomorrow when Criterion announces not Talk to Her, but some foreign movie about bullfighting no one's ever heard of. This is why Criterion needs to abandon difficult newsletter clues.

[TMDaines]

Yeh, can't have a dozen people on Facebook getting mad. ^^

[ShellOilJunior]

FB will get mad as long as no Anderson is announced.

Day 483: Please release Week End.

[mfunk9786]

Ever since the Blu-ray release of Punch-Drunk Love was cancelled, I've been holding out hope for another Bottle Rocket-ish license from Sony.

[Harmonov]

FB will get mad as long as no Anderson is announced.

Could CC's mention of Royal Tenenbaums being 10 years old hint towards an upgrade of it tomorrow?

[Napier]

Magic 8-ball says.....Wes is yes?

[htshell]

Could CC's mention of Royal Tenenbaums being 10 years old hint towards an upgrade of it tomorrow?

There is a 10th anniversary screening of the film tonight at NYFF with Wes Anderson, Anjelica Huston and others will be in attendance. It was probably in reference to that or just.... the film's 10th anniversary.

[SpiderBaby]

Apu Trilogy, Anatomy of a Murder, Frampton set and a Hal Ashby film confirmed for future Criterion releases at the Wexner Center for the Arts.

[ianungstad]

Great news on the Preminger.

I bet the Ashby is Harold and Maude.

[bainbridgezu]

Danny Boyle's Shallow Grave also confirmed at Wexner talk.

[domino harvey]

Boy oh boy do I look forward to the fifteen pages of discussion on the aspect ratio for Anatomy of a Murder :killme:

[ianungstad]

I think they got Shallow Grave directly from film4. If so let's hope for titles like The Long Day Closes, Drowning by Numbers, Resurrected, Vanya on 42 st, An Angel at My Table (blu) etc.

[SpiderBaby]

They did say more Godard will come too, but with Janus and Rialto having 3 (Weekend, Le Petit Soldat, Les Carabiniers), that might be those, so that was too obvious for me to list. Hopefully some post-New Wave Godard is coming.

[knives]

Boy oh boy do I look forward to the fifteen pages of discussion on the aspect ratio for Anatomy of a Murder :killme:

All the same be still my heart. Is this the first Preminger for Blu? Between that and any Ashby (by my dollar the best director of the '70s) I'm content for a while.
