Has anyone inside information about what titles Paramount has recently licensed to Criterion?

I would think some prudent choices would be ONE-EYED JACKS, CHINATOWN, ROSEMARY'S BABY, ONCE UPON A TIME IN THE WEST, DON'T LOOK NOW, WAR OF THE WORLDS, THE COURT JESTER and THE PARALLAX VIEW (if only to get better transfers than what is currently available), DRAGONSLAYER, THE DUELLISTS, SUNSET BLVD., TRUE GRIT, HATARI!, RAGTIME, ROMEO AND JULIET, etc. These could all benefit greatly from Blu-rays releases, and I doubt Paramount would want to commit to most of these titles in that format.

At the moment the only known unreleased Paramount title licensed to Criterion is "The File on Thelma Jordon".

True Grit's getting a remake this year so that might help the process along. And there is a 4k new restoration of the original uncut Italian version of OUATITW done by the Film Foundation a couple years ago that Paramount is apparantly sitting on, but that hasn't come up yet.

What makes you think they licensed any more titles to Criterion? Have heard nothing like that. There were some rumors that Paramount were going to let Criterion release some of the Republic titles but that's about it.
