Yes, because Home Vision was only Criterion's distributor. They had no ownership, so Image merely took over distribution of CC after the acquisition.

I believe that Jamaica Inn is PD, as is Under Capricorn. Cohen would have rights to their restoration presumably.RLJ is the former Image. Criterion was only associated with them as a distributor formerly - They are a totally independent company, who now distribute through Sony. RLJ/Image has...

And remember that Criterion has a commentary track for Blackmail by the 90 year old at the time Screenwriter of the film, which was from their original laserdisc release. It would be great to see a license deal - but the Qatsi film was not a sublicense with Lionsgate, it was their film to work...

All the licenses expired at a certain point last year, which is why all the Tatis went OOP.Tati Estate then did a deal for all territories outside France with SC, with the stipulation that the films would go to Janus/Criterion for the US. Trafic was under license to SC and then sub-licensed to...

No, Eddie. SC don't own any of the Tati films. They own a license to distribute them which is at the will of the Tati estate. The Tati estate has directed that the films go to Criterion in the US.Films SC own will not be on Criterion, therefore we will not get a single box in the US market.

It would be 2 sets in the US at least, because Studio Canal

Fox may be giving it to Twilight Time or Criterion, I have no knowledge on this but it did go MoC in the UK

Yeah, I don't want to seem like I'm "against" anything getting released but more like being a realist about it. I have every Hitchcock film on DVD that is legally released in America (I'm looking at you Waltzes from Vienna), and I'll buy them all again on Blu without a moment's hesitation.

The Park Circus/ITV titles are Criterion's to release I believe, and after the way SC has treated Criterion I doubt they'd be interested in any sort of license for the remaining SC controlled titles. So look for, if anything one box set and annual releases from Criterion, or the very small...

if I'm not mistaken the home rights of the 9 are owned by different companies, some Studio Canal which would go to Lionsgate and the rest are with Criterion here. CC also has Foreign Correspondent through the Winchester deal, since Warners lost it's rights. Warners would be able to...

I think it's more instructive to go by # of titles rather than percent, because many directors have 100% of their works on Blu if they only did one film!I can't think of a director that has more actual titles on Blu off hand, you'd have to get into counting Spielberg's films maybe to match him...

Criterion generally will release one a year with a major filmmaker who they hold several films for, like Chaplin or Hitchcock. That's just the way it is and I like that they take time and make great editions with extras rather than just jamming everything out at once.Foreign Correspondent is...

Yes they do

(Edit: I see you meant this year only)Criterion have released more than one Hitchcock film lolThe Lady VanishesThe 39 StepsThe Man Who Knew Too Much They have more on their Hulu so Foreign Correspondent is likely later this year or early next.Not to mention their Laserdisc releases, including...

Is "To Be..." on Hulu and not announced for a spine yet Brandon?

And some of us have terrible OCD and arrange our shelves by studio so the little logos line up...

Yes US set for me too. Hate those rating decals on the UK boxes

I always thought a "Hitchcock Silents" box would be perfect for the Eclipse series from Criterion, but I wonder who controls the rights to those for the US. Hopefully not Lionsgate, we've had nothing past that one collection they did with the lovely Hitch death mask cover art...

I just wish they'd do Blackmail. Maybe find the silent version and release them alongside the commentary they did for their LD release with the then 94 year old screenwriter...

And the UK Man Who Knew Too Much is coming to Criterion in January http://www.criterion.com/films/27999-the-man-who-knew-too-much?q=autocomplete
