Sophy Romvari posted on Instagram that Janus will be releasing her feature debut, Blue Heron, next year.

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…

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.

Resurrection
The Love That Remains

Janus acquired the rights to the doc Carol and Joy

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.

The voiceover was a nice touch, too.

Wow, those are some great acquisitions.

Wonderful news!

No wonder it went out of print. Amazing news!

Edit: hopefully this means Janus also acquired La Dolce Vita’s US rights from Paramount.

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?

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

Great! Complete Lynch 4K Set please.

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

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.

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.

Didn't that have a missing audio cue in one scene?
