Quarantined Monthly Guessing Thread

[omegadirective]

The Killer 4K
Hard Boiled 4K
Robocop 4K
Salo 4K (They have to get theirs out soon before everyone buys the other 2 recent releases first)


Children of the Corn The Complete Collection with 12 UHD discs, 12 Blu Rays, and 400 hours of bonus features including the brand new 3 hour cut of Children of the Corn 4.

[What A Disgrace]

That's absurd, Criterion would never produce any more than 399 hours of bonus features.

[RSTooley]

Cape Fear ('62) / Cape Fear ('91)
Deliverance
The English Patient
I Shot Any Warhol
Parasite (upgrade)
Wild at Heart

Plus, a large special edition box set for K-Pop Demon Hunters that does not get a spine number. Just a wild guess.

[The Fanciful Norwegian]

That’s been my thought for a while now, however if Warner were willing to give Criterion Citizen Kane on its 80th birthday and the Kubrick titles for a career boxset, knowing those are some of their biggest titles, it would be odd for this one to be off limits.

I can't find the post now so maybe I imagined it, but I thought I saw someone from Vinegar Syndrome saying they weren't able to get The Devils because Criterion had dibs if WB ever let it loose.

Is there an outside chance The Devils actually gets released on UHD by WB themselves under, say, the WAC banner, considering they're already making a show of the theatrical revival release?

[FrauBlucher]

The folks over at Blu-ray.com forum are convinced it’s coming from Warner and that George Feltenstein is playing a roll in it’s release

That's absurd, Criterion would never produce any more than 399 hours of bonus features.

Its the extended cut of Children of the Corn 4 that pushes it over the 399 mark.

[agnamaracs]

Going off of this hint image, my guesses are:
Jaws (1975)
Batman (1989)
Rascal (1969)

[omegadirective]

Not quite sure of the reliablity of that image as there is a over of Tim Buton's Dumbo in there as well..

[James Stock]

Considering they got the Warner Kubrick titles, I wouldn't be surprised if they could get Batman as well.

[Lowry_Sam]

Is the cat A Cat In Paris?

On closer inspection there's something else in front, so it's not a cat (on the shelf). Gremlins & Deadpool are the others on the bottom of the frame.

[bad future]

It seems Criterion is just reposting a cartoon from The New Yorker, and not something they produced themselves? I think I also see an Iron Man movie and I have no idea if this is The New Yorker's humor going over my head or just lazily barely following through on an idea ??

[DeprongMori]

Going off of this hint image, my guesses are:
Jaws (1975)
Batman (1989)
Rascal (1969)

If the repost is a clue from Criterion, it’s pretty obviously for a Grey Gardens re-issue in 4K UHD. But mostly I think they’re just trying to coattail on Jimothy’s current mojo.

(It’s pretty obvious that the New Yorker cartoonist has no idea what’s in the Criterion Closet.)

Naomi Watts does give the 2nd best performance in the COTC franchise in COTC 4: The Gathering.

A Scorsese boxset would be ridiculously expensive though I'd probably buy it.

If only to get The King of Comedy on 4K...

very likely Warner starts a Warner Clockwork physical media arm and it comes from that. can't see them pouring all this money into theatrical and Clockwork branding just for it to come from Criterion

plus since the BFI didn't announce their release yet, no chance Criterion does first, even if they have it. the BFI are way, way more involved with the film

French Connection might not be ready.

Remember there was a Criterion Dog Day Afternoon tease which seemed like a year ago. A pic of dogs in the Criterion office. What happened with this release or will it be down the road? Maybe Criterion doesn't have the rights not sure.

Dog Day Afternoon I feel like comes from Criterion, it seems like something Warner would've already released if they were going to

[ryannichols7]

As much as I want Sunrise’s new resto to be released, part of me anticipates that to be a Flicker Alley release.

Criterion didn't care about Sunrise when Fox was actively licensing stuff, I'd be surprised if they did it now. it feels spot on for a Flicker Alley release ala He Who Gets Slapped and The Crowd

A BFI release of The Devils does seem virtually guaranteed at this point. It wouldn't be the first time a Warner films gets a BFI 4K in the UK and a studio-released 4K in North America, since Get Carter had a similar situation.
