Yep. What they think I'll do with two copies of Koko: A Talking Gorilla is beyond me.

Criterion said on Facebook in the past they would be releasing an Oshima Eclipse set. Seems like the obvious answer.

Mamoru Oshii perhaps? Oshima seems far more likely.

EDIT: Someone beat me to Oshii as I was posting...

Any ideas which titles it was to include?

That won't stop people from filling up 3 more pages of this thread with alternate, unlikely possibilities.

It's just a sun saying "oh shit". Lol.

It is Oshima set on Eclipse, and probably alluding to his The Sun's Burial in the trilogy on the main line.

It's clearly a "Complete Works of Satyajit Ray" box set, referencing Kurosawa's comment "To have not seen the films of Ray is to have lived in the world without ever having seen the moon and the sun."

Guys, guys . . . it's Twilight: Eclipse.

Criterion is just mentioning it early to drum up hype.

I don't know, Twilight would be a huge moneymaker. I doubt that would be relegated to the Eclipse line. :-k

That movie doesn't get half as much love as it deserves. The original Universal DVD had a good number of bonus features already, though.
