I think "Dr. Seuss" is The Bridge again. Two down from that is Life of Oharu again. Last two things in that column are The Soft Skin and Summer with Monika.

This is totally just wish fulfillment, but underneath Life of Oharu on the Dr. Seuss page, I can't help but see "Koker Trilogy?"

Are domino and Cold Bishop all right? I picture them both starting to type out a string of exclamation points and then spontaneously combusting from joy.

Pretty sure the title beneath Sunday Bloody Sunday is Night to Remember.

Clearly this image is a red herring since I don't see Tree of Life listed

For those of us who are blind from age and substance abuse, any chance someone might come up with a list of what's on the list?

The Pasolini Trilogy of Life boxset will be a bit of a waste of an effort: several years after the BFI releases and each will cost double the price the BFIs could have been picked up for at some point.

More Fellini sounds good though.

Be interested to see what other films get released because of the Cinecittà arrangement too.

For the poor eyes:

Of course, it could be all wrong. I think "Qatsi" have a letter too much?

So they are wasting their time/effort by releasing films that unavailable in the county in which they operate because they are available in region locked editions in the UK? :roll:

I want to know about that bottom left paper more than anything else.

As we'd be wasting our time arguing about this point...again.

I knew it! The rumors were true!

If only we had the photo enhancement technology from Blade Runner!

Why are they releasing this photo, though? :-s

Still, if all of the community's interpretations of the writing are correct, this could be the best year! Trilogy of Life, War Room, Qatsi Trilogy, Heaven's Gate...

The other thing to keep in mind is that even if we're reading something correctly, it could still be in negotiations or (for the one whole list) need remastering or what have you, so it's no guarantee that it will come out in 2012.

Could the Dr. Seuss title be The 5,000 Fingers of Dr. T?

Have they ever done that sort of kids entertainment though? I wouldn't complain, but it seems entirely out of their wheelhouse. Than again since the von Sternberg set it seems they've been trying to redecorate.

I don't think The Bridge and Lonesome are correct. I can't quite make out what they actually are but I don't think it's those two. The rest of the titles listed from the page look correct though.

You could be right, but they're claiming right now that these are the 2012 releases. The ones people have picked out from these scribblings have been in the works for at least a year each, now.

By the way: Saturnome, nice eyes! You could be a fighter pilot! :lol:

Well, maybe that's too demanding, but it's impressive that anyone's been able to make out any of those titles. I just know to be psyched.

Is there any hope for Fantastic Mr. Fox, then? I hesitate to call it kids' entertainment, but I know that the current DVD for it is dreadful. This news has me somewhat hopeful now.

They admitted to handling Lonesome months ago.

I simply placed the names, I haven't found any.

Lonesome looks legit. The "Some" part is pretty easy to read. And there's 3 letters before. The Bridge is probably the hardest one to read. I'm pretty sure the first word is a "the". Not sure what is following.

The "Dr. Seuss" is a wild guess to me. I can't read it. Anybody can read what is under Gorin? Assuming they're Eclipse titles, it may be harder unless they all have a director name in it.
- Gorin
- Mailer/Mahler
- D...y
- .... () F...?
- C... (Conversations?) P....
- S ... ...
- P... ...
- ....
.... (I read "Senso" but that doesn't make much sense)
