I figured it was worth a thread for this. In the Criterion chat from last night, technical director Lee Kline made an announcement at the end:
Quote:
[leekline123] The following movies have been announcedfor summer:
[RonEpstein] (drumroll...)
[leekline123] Stray Dog, Tin Drum, Testament of Dr Mabuse, The Leopard,
Mamma Roma, Smiles of a Summer Night, A Woman is a Woman, Jaws.
[Leekline123] (just wanted to see if you were still paying attention...)
[leekline123] No Jaws
[ParkerClack] 
[RonEpstein] aaawwww
[eekline123] All the above in glorious MONO, except for Tin Drum.

I am stoked about Stray Dog. I've heard for a while that Criterion was working on it, so it's great to hear that it'll be out this summer. Barrie Maxwell of Digital Bits said that Stephen Prince would be doing a commentary for it, which is excellent news, as Prince reliably delivers high-quality work on those tracks.
I saw Stray Dog a few years ago as part of an on-campus Japanese film series. One technical detail that I hope has been resolved is the subtitles for part of the scene at the baseball stadium. When Shimura and Mifune are talking in one or two of those shots, the background is just the blazing summer sky, and the white subtitles were totally transparent against the background, so I had no idea what they were saying!
I've also never seen The Leopard or Tin Drum, so I look forward to checking those out. |

Now he's ruled out The Iron Horse, I'm quite excited at the prospect of John Ford on Criterion - but which one will it be, and should we tie this in with the news that Fox have licensed several titles to Criterion?
Let the guessing begin!

So many films, so little time...

Re: Testament of Dr. Mabuse, I'm wondering if this will be the 1933 original or the 1962 remake?
What a great chat!...a major thank you to Mr. Kline, and a special thanks to Ron Epstein. Criterion's collection continues to amaze!

From previous info, I assume Lee Kline was referring to the '33 version of Mabuse.
Was just about to order the upcoming R2 release, but now I'll just wait and see which one is best. I'm sure Criterion will send Gary Tooze a copy as soon as possible.

Stagecoach is owned by Warner, is it not? If it is, that basically rules it out as a Criterion, as Warner doesn't license out movies to other companies.....

I'm down with the Bergman, Kurosawa and Godard dvd's - I tried watching The Leopard and found it to be quite dull, which is a shame because sounds like Criterion are going to pull out all the stops on this release.

Damn, wish I would have remembered the chat or someone had asked a follow up question from the Fox chat where they said they had licensed Kagemusha to Criterion.....
