MoC Forthcoming, Wishlist, and Random Speculation

[Buttery Jeb]

It might be "Sorcerer"; I think Universal is handling international distribution for the film.

[FrauBlucher]

I am going to take a guess here, The Story of Temple Drake. Clearly a cult film that has been rediscovered as it has played at the NY film forum last year for the first time since it's original release. And maybe other repertory houses around the US if anyone can confirm. A Paramount pre-code that is currently held by Universal. This is probably coming to CC, as well. The director has a phantom page.

[AlexHansen]

I'm going to go with Night Tide.

[Finch]

Eureka said no to Sorcerer on Facebook.

[SpiderBaby]

The Last Movie (even though it might be with the Hopper Estate and not Universal)? I just want to see an official release of this already.

[RossyG]

It might be "Sorcerer"; I think Universal is handling international distribution for the film.

Good suggestion. I'd be thrilled if it were that and it certainly fits the description.

We will be announcing our October & November 2013 releases on Thursday morning London time. As always: tune in.

Let there be Dust in the Wind Blu from MoC!

Let there be Dust in the Wind Blu from MoC!

Hear hear! The other recent Hou restorations would also be happily accepted though.

[Finch]

Is Puppetmaster among the new restorations? I think the only decent release of this has been a non-English friendly German DVD. If it's in tomorrow's lineup, it'll go some way to making up for awful covers and many 2013 releases that I've personally found really underwhelming or disappointing.

[Calvin]

Other than Dust in the Wind, the only recent restorations that I know of are A Time to Live, A Time to Die and The Sandwich Man.

DR. MABUSE, DER SPIELER. [DR. MABUSE, THE GAMBLER.] (1922) will be released in a Blu-ray edition; worldwide Blu-ray première on 28/10 in UK

RED RIVER (1948) will be released in Blu-ray & special Blu-ray SteelBook editions; UK Blu-ray première on 28/10 as part of the #moc series

We are honored to announce that we are the official UK partners for Martin Scorsese's World Cinema Foundation
Our first release in partnership with the WCF will be the first in a continuing series of box sets.

MARTIN SCORSESE PRESENTS: WORLD CINEMA FOUNDATION: VOLUME ONE — a Dual-Format box set release on 25/11 — will include the following three films:
DRY SUMMER by Metin Erksan [Turkey / 1964]
TRANCES by Ahmed El Maanouni [Morocco / 1981]
REVENGE by Ermek Shinarbaev [Kazakhstan / 1989]

We will be announcing our Volume Two titles in association with the World Cinema Foundation in the months ahead. An ongoing series. We will be releasing two box sets of at least three films a year, as restored by the WCF. Each release will feature exclusive-to-MoC video introductions by Martin Scorsese, and 80-page books.

[HJackson]

A very good set of announcements. I've fallen behind on MoC lately but I'll be certain to pick all of these up on, or very soon after, release. Particularly pleased with Red River since it will save me having to buy the French disc - it comes a little bit late for me, since I'm doing a Howard Hawks marathon right now (which means the Paramount Hatari! and El Dorado discs are coming too late too), but it's an absolute must for an upgrade. Does this mean MoC are now dealing with MGM?

[What A Disgrace]

I really hope that the Mizoguchi titles will be available seperately, because I already own the Ugetsu disc. But if the price is good enough, then I'll just settle on having two copies.

This release news would be absolutely amazing and mouth wateringly irresistible to me if the WCF titles and Red River weren't also slated (or rumored, in the latter case) to be released by Criterion. As it is, I'll just be dipping in for Nosferatu and Dr. Mabuse for now, and waiting for the final specs on the other titles.

[Drucker]

Fantastic set of announcements, especially with the Kalat commentary confirmed for Nosferatu.

[doc mccoy]

Is it possible that not a soul either here nor Facebook nor Twitter is gushing over the fact that fucking DRY SUMMER is coming out on Blu-ray? Did I get out on the wrong planet this morning?

Depends on the planet - if you rely on dvd and not blu, then are there are only three new announcements.

[matrixschmatrix]

Jesus, this is the announcement day of the year for me, even beating Criterion's last set. My only wishes are that a.) they'll do a steelbook on Mabuse (so I can eventually get the whole trilogy on steelbook) and b.) that we keep getting new commentaries from Kalat forever

[Finch]

Now that's more like it. Definitely getting Red River, Chikamatsu and the WCF set.

[domino harvey]

I'm excited about the Mizoguchi box (I knew I was putting off those upgrades for some reason!) and the Kalat commentary for Nosferatu. I might be tempted by Red River since waiting for Criterion to release it might take decades!

[Matt]

And there won't be a coaster in the MoC edition!

ˆˆˆATTENTION: IRONICALˆˆˆ

[videozor]

Vey impressed with MoC's latest announcements, but I was under impression that Caligari was coming along with Nosferatu re-issue.
Was I completely wrong, or it just will happen later?
Also, is it known if MoC is going to publish Intolerance?
Thanks for clarifying!

[Calvin]

Caligari won't be until after Feburary at the earliest as the restoration is due to have its world premiere at the 2014 Berlin International Film Festival

[swo17]

Speculate:

Look for the genius actress Dakota Goldhor on forthcoming MoC titles.

[knives]

There's not much to speculate it would seem.

[What A Disgrace]

Its either Nobody Wants to Know or Go Get Some Rosemary.
