I still don’t know about Superman, but it was confirmed last year that Wall-E was a one-off between Disney and Criterion and seems unlikely we’ll get anymore in-house Disney films.

Very possible. While we’re still waiting, David Skal hinted at an announcement involving Tod Browning today which could very well be a Criterion set of three of his films which may at least include Freaks over on the Classic Horror Film Board...

It appears Criterion and Janus will be starting a new line of home video releases called “Janus Contemporaries” in the fall, starting with the film “EO.” https://www.criterion.com/current/posts/8142-criterion-presents-janus-contemporaries

I’m not sure I understand your designation “Fox Five” for those films since all but Lifeboat went to ABC (which has long been a Disney property) after Selznick’s death, so they were already with Disney before they bought Fox (and Lifeboat with it).

Posting this here since the film has for years been rumored to have gone back to Criterion. A new restoration of Hitchcock’s Spellbound will be premiering at this year’s Cannes Festival. Supposing Criterion did get the rights back as they did with Rebecca and Notorious, perhaps this is the...

Dazed and Confused 4K now listed for February 21st. https://www.criterion.com/films/314-dazed-and-confused Probably just Romeo and Juliet for me. A Blu-Ray of this version has been long overdue. It’s quite possibly my favorite movie version of the play with Olivia Hussey giving a strong...

One might also ask if there’s any credible information that they’re handling After Hours. I’ve seen multiple claims that Criterion are doing After Hours, but have yet to see any actual evidence of it. I also wouldn’t mind a new transfer of Amadeus, especially if it includes the Theatrical...

Their communication certainly is improved from what it used to be. Often in the past, we wouldn’t even hear that announcements would be delayed until the day was nearly over.

Anyone know what movie that photo is from? Based on the past few delayed announcements, it’s clearly from one of the films in this batch, but I just don’t recognize it.

The new Scott MacQueen restoration of The Devil and Daniel Webster will be premiering at the UCLA Festival of Preservation on May 20th with a “special thanks” to Janus Films. Interestingly, the new restoration is apparently three minutes longer than the DVD. The full restoration credits...

Summertime's page has been updated to include mention of a Blu-ray cover art by one Lauren Tamaki (as of this post, it still shows the old artwork), so I wouldn't necessarily rule it out yet. Edit: Just saw Lord Dalek's post, so never mind.

I’ve never seen Summertime, but if it’s part of the July batch (which seems quite likely after last month when they teased Tales of Hoffman), I’ll definitely give it a shot since it’s a David Lean film with Katharine Hepburn.

I’m not surprised, considering today is technically a holiday and I don’t think they make announcements on holidays.

Alex Cox has revealed that Criterion is working on a new edition of Pat Garrett & Billy the Kid expected for release some time this year. He mentions that Criterion might “pick a favorite” of the three cuts of the film, but doesn’t mention if the other two will be included...

Janus Films has posted a trailer for a new restoration of Tarkovsky’s Mirror, more or less confirming that Criterion will be releasing it at some point this year (completing the Mosfilm Tarkovskys as far as I know)

And the other March titles are: Touki Bouki (March 9) Céline and Julie Go Boating (March 16) Secrets and Lies (March 30) Defending Your Life (March 30)

For those who are interested, Roger Deakins has interviewed Lee Kline of Criterion for his podcast. In the podcast, Kline talks about the upcoming release of The Lady Eve (warning that while it looks good, it could have been even better) and reveals that Criterion are working on a new release...

Criterion has just announced a Bruce Lee box set titled “Bruce Lee: His Greatest Hits” containing The Big Boss, Fists of Fury, The Way of the Dragon, two versions of Enter the Dragon, and Game of Death. The prospective release date is July 14th...

They’re up: An Unmarried Woman (June 9) The Cameraman (June 16) Portrait of a Woman on Fire (June 23) Tokyo Olympiad stand-alone (June 23) Come and See (June 30)

It looks like whenever we get The Cameraman, we’ll be getting Spite Marriage as well. James L. Neibaur posted this on his Twitter account: https://twitter.com/JimLNeibaur/status/1230216836874153985

Didn’t Criterion also do this with The Curious Case of Benjamin Button to use a somewhat more recent example?

The way I interpret it is that Universal and the Film Foundation have done updated restorations of the two “Killers” adaptations. Whether Criterion will reissue them with the new restorations is another story.

In addition to Grand Budapest (April 28) and Me and You (April 28), We’re getting: Army of Shadows (April 7) Destry Rides Again (April 14) The Cremator (April 21)

Cover art has been leaked for Grand Budapest Hotel and a movie called Me and You, and Everyone we Know so it looks like we’ll be getting those at the very least. https://www.criterion.com/shop/collection/323-director-approved

How would that make them lost? As far as I know, only one Best Picture nominee has been completely lost (The Patriot) with the winners still surviving.
