My guess is that they will upgrade M. Hulot's Holiday and Mon oncle in December, like they did the Suzukis last year. As for Chaplin, I think (and hope) that Limelight may be the next release, since that would be in line with the old MK2 release schedule.

I think they'll probably do Great Expectations and Oliver Twist (and maybe Summertime) in December or January, like the Suzukis and Fullers.Askew wrote:My guess is that they will upgrade M.

Re: Forthcoming Lists Discussion and Random Speculation Vol.
I don't follow Criterions postings as much as I should so I'm not sure if they have mentioned anything about future Hideo Gosha releases? Not sure how Three Outlaw Samurai sold for them, but I feel like I've been waiting half my life for them to release Bandits Vs Samurai Squadron. When I found out they had Hunter In The Dark I nearly passed out as this is one my favorite films period.
Good news is that it will probably eventually come out. Bad news is that there are so many films that could be released before it that it could be many many years before it comes out.
So have there been any hints for more Hideo Gosha coming our way?

Hi, I actually joined this site several years ago but I forgot my password and I think my account was subsequently deleted.
Anyways, regarding these recently found placeholders, I stumbled across some other ones of interest: Ken Annakin, Fred Coe, Delmer Daves, Cy Endfield, François Girard, Edmund Goulding, Alexander Hall, Joseph Losey, Rouben Mamoulian, Elaine May, Gustaf Molander, Ettore Scola, André Téchiné, J. Lee Thompson, Maurice Tourneur and a second, but blank Delbert Mann page.

Wouldn't it make more sense to release The Shooting with Ride in the Whirlwind? Or am I missing something?movielocke wrote: Shooting/Hired Hand

I don't recall where the post was made, but Shooting/Hired Hand were confirmed by someone close to Hellman as being 'forthcoming from Criterion' a few months ago.Señor Octubre wrote:Wouldn't it make more sense to release The Shooting with Ride in the Whirlwind?

Re: Forthcoming Lists Discussion and Random Speculation Vol.
Hired Hand? This is Peter Fonda, not Hellman so I'm guessing Shooting & Whirlwind were what Hellman confirmed. Hired Hand was Universal (part of the same 5 picture deal with Ned Tanen that included Two-Lane Blacktop and Taking Off) but my understanding is that Fonda now owns all the rights to it, so if Criterion were to release it this would be through Fonda.HistoryProf wrote:I don't recall where the post was made, but Shooting/Hired Hand were confirmed by someone close to Hellman as being 'forthcoming from Criterion' a few months ago.Señor Octubre wrote:Wouldn't it make more sense to release The Shooting with Ride in the Whirlwind?

Re: Forthcoming Lists Discussion and Random Speculation Vol.
Yeah Hellman has confirmed the Shooting/Whirlwind combo. Shooting/Hired Hand has been mentioned as forthcoming quite a few times lately, but as far as I know there has been nothing to suggest that Criterion is releasing the Fonda picture.

Re: Forthcoming Lists Discussion and Random Speculation Vol.
The only reference I can dig up on our forum to Criterion possibly releasing The Hired Hand is your guess here. Maybe someone on Facebook or another forum guessed it? While it's certainly possible that The Hired Hand has been licensed to Criterion (Fonda and Universal previously released a great special edition through Sundance Home Entertainment, which is presumably now part of IFC), I can't find mention of it anywhere. Google only returns this discussion.HistoryProf wrote:I don't recall where the post was made, but Shooting/Hired Hand were confirmed by someone close to Hellman as being 'forthcoming from Criterion' a few months ago.
At any rate, Monte Hellman had nothing to do with that film. He mentioned the upcoming Blu-rays of The Shooting and Ride the Whirlwind via Twitter, and has previously said that they had been licensed to Criterion.

Re: Forthcoming Lists Discussion and Random Speculation Vol.
Criterion should consider releasing Asghar Farhadi’s About Elly. It has never been released in the U.S. It was eventually picked up for theatrical by Here Films, but I don't know that they ever screened it anywhere. They licensed it for disc release with a batch of other titles to eOne (aka Koch Lorber) back in 2009, but eOne never did anything with it, and that deal expires at the end of this month. Rights should be available.
I haven't seen the film, but based on A Separation and Fireworks Wednesday, it's at the very top of my list. David Bordwell has invoked the m-word, and Iranian film critics voted it the fourth-best Iranian film of all time. I'm curious to say the least, and it sounds right up Criterion's alley.

Re: Forthcoming Lists Discussion and Random Speculation Vol.
Seconded - considering the critical and box-office success of A Separation, you'd think this would've been a no-brainer for whoever owns or can acquire the rights. (In France it was immediately RE-released, both theatrically and on DVD, with "from the director of A Separation" on the cover)Jeff wrote:Criterion should consider releasing Asghar Farhadi’s About Elly.

I'm super excited that they keep posting "hanging Rock" things but think it has more to do with Weir's Birthday than a Dec/Jan release.

Any chance we'll ever see ANYTHING by Bo Widerberg? I mean surely criterion could get their hands on Man on the Roof, Elvira Madigan, Adalen 31 or any of his brilliant TV movies. He was a very significant filmmaker for a great part of the late 60s/70s.

HVE released All Things Fair a few years ago. Bare bones, but decent audio and video.
