Re: Janus Films
Would love a disc release of all her short films to go along with however Criterion releases this in the future. A girl can dream…

Re: Janus Films
This is my wish too, and one that doesn’t seem outside the realm of possibility. They were all on the Channel for quite a long time (if they’re not still there). But Criterion might stubbornly insist on slotting this feature into the Criterion Premieres line on a Blu-ray with no extras but an interview.

If they rolled out the red carpet for Flow, I think someone might be able to get them to put out a few more extras.

Ha, thats a good one. The droll humor reminds me a little of the "disingenuous" promo poster for Cristi Puiu's Death of Mr. Lazarescu.RPG wrote: Fri Oct 31, 2025 10:10 amThis is an all time great trailer.

Re: Janus Films
It’s so good on virtue of how simple the whole thing is constructed. Good lesson on how to make a trailer remarkable with no visual gimmicks or editing tricks. Easily the best trailer I’ve seen in a few years.RPG wrote: Fri Oct 31, 2025 10:10 amThis is an all time great trailer.

Re: Janus Films
The voiceover was a nice touch, too.

No wonder it went out of print. Amazing news!guyetgenevieve wrote: Thu Nov 13, 2025 8:01 pm Janus Films has acquired David Lynch's The Elephant Man
Edit: hopefully this means Janus also acquired La Dolce Vita’s US rights from Paramount.

Re: Janus Films
I think this has more to do with the Lynch estate pushing this towards Janus

I assumed this was still owned by Mel Brooks' Brooksfilm production company. Has that changed?FrauBlucher wrote: Thu Nov 13, 2025 9:49 pm I think this has more to do with the Lynch estate pushing this towards Janus

Re: Janus Films
Probably but Lynch and his estate could've nudged Brooks to let Janus handle this

Re: Janus Films
Someone from the Lynch estate needs to have a word with Bob Iger, the wait for The Straight Story is getting preposterous now.

Re: Janus Films
Not sure what this means for other Brooksfilms properties, like The Fly, but I also don't think it's out of the question that in exchange for The Elephant Man, Criterion has agreed to release Spaceballs. Or maybe that's a ludicrous theory.FrauBlucher wrote: Thu Nov 13, 2025 10:45 pm Probably but Lynch and his estate could've nudged Brooks to let Janus handle this

How would they better the UHD of Spaceballs Kino Lorber already released 4 years ago?

Prepare forum for ludicrous theory.
In all seriousness, if we were ever to get a Brooks property, I think Young Frankenstein is the most deserving. I would also appreciate The Twelve Chairs or The Producers if the opportunity presented itself.
