I presume a picture of a thin red lion in Criterion's latest newsletter can be considered official confirmation that The Thin Red Line is coming soon, and in Blu.

Not only that, but the Short Cuts reissue is actually just a new translucent keep case and Wacky C adorned liner. The disc is the same as the first printing.John Edmond wrote:I presume a picture of a thin red lion in Criterion's latest newsletter can be considered official confirmation that The Thin Red Line is coming soon, and in Blu.

Up until today, IMDB had Criterion as having the 2010 distribution rights to The Four Feathers, but now no it's no longer listed on there But they do have Von Sternberg's Underworld and The Docks of New York as CC titles =D>

Going by last month's precedent of getting the May release schedule announcement on Friday the 12th, I'm hopeful we'll get June's release schedule announcement today. Then again, they may wait until Monday since it's not a holiday this time.

Re: 'Forthcoming' Lists Discussion and Random Speculation Vol.2
I'll stick with these, except that it's highly doubtful that we'll see two catalog BDs. Plus, I think it's unlikely that we'll go two months without an IFC announcement. So I'll take out Bicycle Thieves and put in The Secret of the Grain. Since their output seems to have increased lately, I think we should add one more, so I'll guess ... Mystery Train.ShellOilJunior wrote:My June picks:
Night Train to Munich (Reed)
The Leopard (Visconti)
The Bicycle Thieves (DeSica)
The Red Shoes (Powell and Pressburger)
The big question, to me, is if Night Train actually is announced, whether that is for DVD only or both DVD and BD.

Re: 'Forthcoming' Lists Discussion and Random Speculation Vol.2
Nice catch. I'm guessing both films on one disc (or two-disc set) as a "double feature," or perhaps There Was a Father will be treated as a supplement. I believe Criterion has been sitting on a Donald Richie commentary for The Only Son for years.What A Disgrace wrote:In a nutshell: The Only Son and There Was a Father mainline releases?

Best film news from Criterion since Make Way for Tomorrow was announced.What A Disgrace wrote:In a nutshell: The Only Son and There Was a Father mainline releases?
it could be two single releases like Made in USA and Two or Three Things. That I think is more likely than a double feature.
Or, the Only Son will be a packed to the gills two disc set, with supplements covering all of Ozu's films before Late Spring, and will be accompanied the same month by an Ozu sound films Eclipse set including There Was a Father and four from these six: What did the Lady Forget, Brothers and Sisters of the Toda Family, Record of a Tenement Gentleman, A Hen in the Wind, The Munekata Sisters, The Flavor of Green Tea over Rice.

I will have to wait and see how it compares to the Ozu BFI releases, it seems!

Re: 'Forthcoming' Lists Discussion and Random Speculation Vol.2
Maybe the delay of the BFI release of "Late Spring" is a good thing. It will give us time to see how Criterion will release "The Only Son". I was sure I was going to get the BFI "Late Spring" and the primary reason was to get "The Only Son". Now, I'm not sure anymore.

Re: 'Forthcoming' Lists Discussion and Random Speculation Vol.2
If There Was a Father is destined for the main line, this suggests that some serious clean-up work must have been done on the existing master, or they've found entirely new elements. Either way, this is very exciting news. I would have thought the existing transfer too poor for even the most apologetic Eclipse. These are both among Ozu's greatest films.

^ That's why I'm wondering if they might not treat it as a supplement on The Only Son.

I don't know if the old transfer would even be up to supplement level - the sound is pretty much completely destroyed.Jeff wrote:^ That's why I'm wondering if they might not treat it as a supplement on The Only Son.

Note that the Facebook caption indicates an upcoming RELEASE... I'm thinking double-feature.

They look so sad in that photograph. Like they're auditioning for an Ozu film instead of talking about one.

I just got home from an American Cinematheque double feature of "Taking Off" and "Catch-22". In-between the two films, screenwriter Larry Karaszewski, who was moderating a Q & A with Buck Henry, mentioned that Milos Forman told him that Criterion is currently prepping "Taking Off". =D>

The only time I've seen this was when my Dad taped it off Sky Movies about 10 years ago - unfortunately he managed to set it wrongly so the last few minutes were missing (it may only have been 30 secs or so, but I haven't been able to double check). Still, probably my favourite US Forman (although Cuckoo's Nest and Man in the Moon are strong contenders (and you never know - the last few seconds / minutes might make all the difference!)

Re: 'Forthcoming' Lists Discussion and Random Speculation Vol.2
Outstanding news. Following Two-Lane Blacktop, this will make the second of the low budget, post-Easy Rider films that Universal produced in the early '70s to appear on Criterion. I hope it's a success; I'd love to see Criterion take a stab at Diary of a Mad Housewife and, god help us all, The Last Movie.

Re: 'Forthcoming' Lists Discussion and Random Speculation Vol.2
Steven Soderbergh´s new Spalding Gray doc now has a title: And Everything is Going Fine. Josh Olson reviews it here, and his review includes this bit:
I´m guessing this means this new documentary as well as the Gray´s Anatomy, which has been on the "forthcoming" list for years...the producer hinted that we’ll get more, eventually - something’s in the works with Criterion. Hooray!
