How many times is Janus going to re-release and restore this film? Didn't they just tour a 2K restoration a few years ago? They touch this film more than anything by Ozu, Kurosawa, Fellini, Godard, etc.

It seems to do phenomenal business in repertory houses. I just wish we could finally see Wenders’ Cannes cut of Lightning Over Water. On the Anchor Bay commentary for it, he mentions depositing the sole print at the Munich Film Archive.

A couple of indie theaers near me are planning on screening the 4K restorations for High and Low and Ikiru. I wonder if this means we will be seeing tours for both films as well. Does anyone know if the 4K restoration for Ikiru is the same one that was done almost a decade ago for the bluray release?

I genuinely wonder if Schnabel did this because of Robert Longo and Johnny Mnemonic

It has taken about a year and a half, but Born in Flames has finally been added to the Janus Films website.

I wonder, if Miramax's rights expired, if they also will pick up Lovers on the Bridge.

That is what i thought, but it is possible that Miramax's US rights haven't completely expired.

Miramax has let the rights to basically everything expire that they didn't produce with just a few exceptions, no? Trainspotting I was really surprised came from Paramount, but basically all their other titles (Amelie, Exotica, etc) went back to the original producers

Yes, I believe so. And it is one of the reasons I think the last owners had a hard time selling the catalog. Hell they only have the rights to one of the Tarantino movies they produced (Pulp Fiction.)

who holds Jackie Brown these days? QT himself? but that makes a lot of sense, really makes you wonder how the Weinstein's negotiated their contracts. obviously it's panned out well for everyone else so far. the biggest title I can think of that's currently not accounted for is City of God, which I guessed in the speculation thread and I could see ending up anywhere

Yes, last year the rights to Jackie Brown and the two Kill Bills reverted to Tarantino and he licensed them to Lionsgate. I wouldn't be shocked if Tarantino has similar deals for every thing after Pulp Fiction, I know he does for Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.

It does seem like a lot of Miramax's biggest stuff was titles they picked up, not things they produced.

I really hope that All the Pretty Horses has been liberated and can be restored to its original length
