Janus Films just posted on Facebook regarding new restorations of Eric Rohmer's Six Moral Tales playing theatrically. Could this herald a blu-ray upgrade, perhaps?

That would be great! This box set is probably my single favourite item Criterion has ever released.

Besides titles that have already been put out on BD (like Beauty and the Beast and Battle of Algiers 4K restorations), have there been any major Janus restorations that toured that *didn't* get a fairly quick release? I guess the War Trilogy?

Yes, definitely. Could take a while though due to the scale of the project.

4 Months, 3 Weeks, and 2 Days
Heart of a Dog
His Girl Friday
Silence
Written on the Wind [upgrade]

For the naysayers of Heart of a Dog - Criterion's social media platforms continue to reference Anderson, even after Heart of a Dog was taken off iTunes and placed on HBO. It competed at the Venice Film Festival, it was well acclaimed, and I see no reason why Criterion wouldn't be interested in releasing a special edition.

If Criterion is smart, they'll release Silence around the time Martin Scorsese's version hits theaters.

I have predicted 4 Months, 3 Weeks, and 2 Days for two years. Get it together, Criterion.

Aw man, seven months in a row guessing Exterminating Angel Blu and now that I leave it off they release it?

[domino harvey]

I know what I'm not guessing next month!

This feels like cheating, but:

Ousmane Sembène has two pages in a row, so maybe we get two of his films? I hope we'll see them announced today, and get a Flash Sale on Tuesday.

[FrauBlucher]

His Girl Friday
Something Wild
Black Girl
Mandabi (what the heck)
Fox and HIs Friends
Written On the Wind (upgrade)

[DeprongMori]

Not sure why several people are guessing Something Wild, unless there is another film of that title that I'm not aware of. Jonathan Demme's film of that title is on Blu as Spine #583.

[domino harvey]

There is, the Carroll Baker film from 1961

[jedgeco]

Dragon Inn
Fireman's Ball
Before Trilogy
Midnight Cowboy
Black Girl
Roma

[flyonthewall2983]

My wild guess, maybe not for this next announcement but that sometime in 2017 we'll finally get Cronenberg's Crash.

[DeprongMori]

His Girl Friday
Multiple Maniacs
Black Girl
One Two Three (Wilder) -- do we know yet what the clock in the 2015 New Year's drawing was?
Beyond the Hills
Written on the Wind upgrade

[DeprongMori]

There is, the Carroll Baker film from 1961

Thanks. Not familiar with this one. I had missed the activity on the "Phantom Web Pages" thread. Is it too late to modify my guesses?

[Never Cursed]

His Girl Friday
Dragon Inn
Black Girls
4 Months
Mishima Blu (maybe if I say it, it'll actually happen)

[lacritfan]

Damn, can't remember the last time they announced them before the 15th, figured it would Monday. Last time I put off guessing (woulda only got one right anyway).
