Isn't tomorrow announcement day?

Criterion said on Facebook yesterday they were still deciding between tomorrow and Monday.

Maybe they'll announce them over the Week End.

And now they're saying it's going to be Monday.

There's probably some last minute good covers they still need to ruin

them over the Week End.

Your still a ways off on that joke, being Janus plans to release this later this year before Criterion would have any plans for it. Your looking at 2012 (or lucky, end of this year) for Week End.

[felipe]

I gues we'll have to wait until Monday then...

[Tom Hagen]

The NYT already gave away Cul-de-Sac, Orpheus, and Vigo as August releases. Criterion has shown hints about the first two on Facebook over the last week.

[matrixschmatrix]

That would knock off two more from the Wacky New Year's cartoon- what would that leave?

[swo17]

Carlos
Kuroneko
Bitter Rice
Wild Strawberries
Y tu mamá también

Also still waiting for:
The Killing
The Phantom Carriage

[ShellOilJunior]

I suppose August would be the last month Les vacances de Monsieur Hulot would be released until the next summer? I can't see Criterion issuing a blu of it in the dead of winter.

[Derek Estes]

Besides the titles that we know they had planned (it's possible a title or two might have been delayed further), I'm pretty sure we will be seeing a Hawks film (Red River seems most likely) after the hint they dropped the other day.
My BIG list for August possibilities:

Orpheus
The Complete films of Jean Vigo
Cul-de-sac
Knife in the Water
Red River
Y tu mama tambien
Monika

Knife in the Water

Really? I have seen no clues that this is on the slate for Blu Release.

[Tom Hagen]

It would be awesome if it does come. It's my favorite early Polanski by far, and all of those shorts too!

[Cinephrenic]

The next Blu-ray upgrades will likely be Chasing Amy, The Rock, and Koko...just sayin'

[The Fonz]

My August Guesses (Some of 'em are obvious.):

New Releases:
The Works of Jean Vigo
Cul-De-Sac
Carlos
The Killing

Reissues:
3 Women (Shout-Out To Shelley)
Orpheus
Knife in the Water? (I thought there was an obvious third one, but I can't remember.)

Wild Card:
Heaven's Gate (I love this one.)

[justeleblanc]

Cul de Sac
Complete Vigo

Upgrades:
Wild Strawberries
Orpheus
Rules of the Game

[felipe]

Complete Vigo

Is this a box-set?

[mteller]

Complete Vigo

Is this a box-set?

2-disc at the most, unless they go bananas with bonus features.

[felipe]

My predictions:

Cul de Sac

Umbrellas of Cherbourg
The killing
Orpheus

[ShellOilJunior]

August predictions:

Ace in the Hole
Foreign Correspondent
Life and Death of Colonel Blimp
Red River
The Killing
The Lady Vanishes

Edit Eh, no non-English films in there. . .

[oldsheperd]

[Buttery Jeb]

"Cul-de-Sac"
The Complete Jean Vigo Collection

"Carlos"
"Killer's Kiss"
"The Killing"
"The Phantom Coach"
"Wild Strawberries" Upgrade

[Derek Estes]

August predictions:
Life and Death of Colonel Blimp

I think we might need to wait a little longer for this. I know The Film Foundation has undertaken a digital restoration of this as they had with The Red Shoes a couple of years ago. Though I'm not sure how far along they are with this I expect a theatrical premiere of the restoration in at least a festival or two, if not a run in the art house circuit, before a Blu-Ray release. Needless to say, I'm very anxious for this to happen.

That's a great list btw!

[SpiderBaby]

Phantom Carriage
Cul de Sac
