Blu-Ray for what was filmed on film (did Welles ever film his TV stuff on video?) but you are correct, if the Edition Filmmuseum release ever does come out. It's been in preparation for how long now?zedz wrote:EDIT: And if you've got an 'Unknown Orson Welles' set from Edition Filmmuseum, why would you need one from Criterion?

Re: Forthcoming Lists Discussion and Random Speculation Vol.
I believe that was announced way back in 2009, and there's been no real evidence of a forthcoming release since then. Unfortunately, I would guess this was a planned title that was cancelled long ago.

As long as I've been watching their site, at least, which must be four or five years now.
(Just checked: the MoC F or Fake came out at the beginning of 2007, and it must have been in the works well before then.)
I strongly doubt that the project has been abandoned, since they actually hold all of the materials. It's more likely that the scope of the project keeps changing or the restoration work is more complicated / expensive than they anticipated.

Re: Forthcoming Lists Discussion and Random Speculation Vol.
I suspect the delay may be related more to logistics or legal issues. Virtually all of the Welles material the Munich Filmmuseum has in its archive has been edited and presented as short subjects at various festivals and retrospectives for years (THE DREAMERS presentation is especially good). I don't think there is much additional restoration that can be done, although with the advent of Blu-ray I imagine they would consider rescanning the 35mm and 16mm elements at a higher resolution to create HD versions of the presentations (I'm thinking the versions that are screened at festivals now are in SD). The 40-odd minute assembly of scenes from THE OTHER SIDE OF THE WIND would definitely be prevented from appearing on a home video release because of legal issues; perhaps some of the other holdings are in a similar legal limbo.zedz wrote: I strongly doubt that the project has been abandoned, since they actually hold all of the materials.

Regarding videotape: Welles was just beginning to experiment with shooting on video shortly before he died and he intended to do a version of KING LEAR where the close-ups would be shot on video then transferred to 35mm and establishing shots would originate on film. Welles prepared a promo short to interest investors in which he performed a brief excerpt as Lear. Apart from this, everything else Welles shot originated on 35mm or 16mm film.

Criterion tweeted a link to this collection of ten photos from There Will Be Blood
Probably just one set of film lovers spreading a good gallery of photos from a movie they love. But maybe something more?

Re: Forthcoming Lists Discussion and Random Speculation Vol.
This is what I was thinking....but maybe that's just because i've been dreaming of this on blu for two years now. But it's the film that I immediately think of whenever i hear something described as "transcendent".onedimension wrote:Dreyer's Joan of Arc

The last two posts on the "Current" section of the website featured I Know Where I'm Going! and The Scarlet Empress. I know it probably means nothing, but I can dream about new Blu-ray editions, can't I?

I would rather they give it its own release given the quality of the film and the number of potential extra (see the BFI release for further illustration).

Well I think they should release a big box set of all the Dietrich/von Sternberg collaborations on blu, even though I know that won't happen, because seriously that would be amazing

Seriously, get the BFI. It's an amazing set (and region-free).knives wrote:I would rather they give it its own release given the quality of the film and the number of potential extra (see the BFI release for further illustration).

Re: Forthcoming Lists Discussion and Random Speculation Vol.
I'll dream right along with you, but I presume we won't see I Know Where I'm Going! until it undergoes a full restoration, since it seems like they're working through the major Powell / Pressburger titles one by one (which means Colonel Blimp should be next up from Criterion).Matt wrote:The last two posts on the "Current" section of the website featured I Know Where I'm Going! and The Scarlet Empress.

Re: Forthcoming Lists Discussion and Random Speculation Vol.
While attempting to dig up any information regarding Janus and the Harold Lloyd Estate (there's a few Harold Lloyd films playing at Film Forum between now and November -for those wanting to see them/find out who the distributor is), I dug up this mildly interesting list of Janus films from the AFI Catalog page (oddly, most all of the films listed are from 1961-64, and plenty is missing, but there are a few surprises there (at least for those of us who haven't seen that full Janus catalog page that somebody had a while back, if anyone still has a copy of that, could they pm it to me?)).
Here's the full list of 35 titles:
All These Women (1964)
Anatomy of a Marriage; My Days With Jean-Marc (1964)
Anatomy of a Marriage; My Nights With Françoise (1964)
Ashes and Diamonds (1961)
L'avventura (1961)
Bernadette of Lourdes (1962)
China! (1965)
Cinderella (1961)
Crooks Anonymous (1963)
The Devil's Eye (1961)
The Face of War (1963)
The Fiances (1964)
The Fruit Is Ripe (1961)
The Guest (1964)
Harold Lloyd's Funny Side of Life (1966)
Heavens Above! (1963)
Jules and Jim (1962)
Just Once More (1963)
Maid for Murder (1963)
Nurse on Wheels (1963)
Opiate '67 (1967)
The Playboy of the Western World (1963)
Port of Call (1963)
The Ritual (1970)
Secrets of Women (1961)
Some Like It Cool (1961)
The Sound of Trumpets (1963)
Sparrows Can't Sing (1963)
The Swedish Mistress (1964)
Three Fables of Love (1963)
Through a Glass Darkly (1962)
The Troublemaker (1964)
Two Daughters (1963)
Winter Light (1963)
Young Aphrodites (1966)
I also found the TCM page for Hitchcock's Number 17, which lists Janus as the domestic distributor. Does Janus own quite a few of these PD Hitchcock films (some of which haven't seen daylight for a while - like Secret Agent - that Ian mentioned not too long ago)?
