and this is in response to a question if Kino had any other Godard films:Both of them are with Criterion, they'll most likely release them on Blu-ray later. I don't think the North American rights to the 2 films are with Studio Canal.
We do not have anymore Godard titles in the SC deal. Pierrot le fou was taken by another label.
I did not say that. We don't want to confirm a title for another label, the other label could be Criterion.
Lionsgate had carte blanche, they kept whatever they wanted to keep. Kino, Criterion and Shout were the first three labels to get deals done, since then other have come in and picked up some titles, who they are, I don't know, but those are two good guesses.
No Bresson or Saura.
Forbidden Games is with another label.
Didn't they vaguely call them an "arthouse label"? It was obviously most likely Criterion, but this is just a 100% confirmation now.yoloswegmaster wrote: ↑Mon Apr 15, 2019 5:20 pmI don't know why you needed even more confirmation even though KL Insider already confirmed a while ago that Criterion did indeed have a deal with them.
I wouldn't yet. The KL Insider has said that Lionsgate will hold on to the films that they have released. Although I'm skeptical of that being fact, I guess there is an outside chance that that is the case.
Ah I see that one here at the top of the page. Must've missed it, so yeah, this was already confirmed.
Pretty sure the BRD titles are all held by the RWF Foundation, no? The reason the set went out of print initially was because Wellspring, who Criterion had initially licensed from, had lost them. None of them play on the Criterion Channel, nor on Filmstruck, with Studio Canal logos or branding. Lola is released by SC in the UK but that’s the only connection I can see. Does not mean they own it in the US as well.
I also remember KL Insider saying that he didn't think that StudioCanal had the rights to the BRD Trilogy.DRW.mov wrote: ↑Mon Apr 15, 2019 5:56 pmPretty sure the BRD titles are all held by the RWF Foundation, no?

This is correct! The BRD Trilogy doesn't have anything to do with Studio Canal in the US.DRW.mov wrote: ↑Mon Apr 15, 2019 5:56 pmPretty sure the BRD titles are all held by the RWF Foundation, no?
