As it appears Paramount hasn't exercised their option of Death of Stalin, it's probably getting a good release slot from Criterion near the end of the year considering its one of IFC's best performing titles ever (and it's at least somewhat likely to be paired with In the Loop, I guess), and I'd think that the Denis would come a little after that.

Wasn't the word on WKW that Janus' rerelease of Chungking Express was scheduled for September? Seems like it'd be a bit soon for anything to pop up so quickly.

This would be most welcome. Is this even available on BD yet?

• I'll throw one in for Come and See since everybody else is. That film would be an instant buy for me regardless of any discounts.

• A new wave of Janus restorations, like Cold Water, 24 Frames, and Eight Hours Don't Make a Day (maybe it's too early for those last two, though).

• Wong Kar-wai? By November, I hope.

• Plus any of the various titles other members have suggested: After Hours, True Stories, the list goes on...

But I find it hard to imagine they'll just toss four or five* Wong films—all but one of them new to Criterion—into a box. I also suspect Janus might like to do something with these titles first; they've handled bookings for Chungking Express, Fallen Angels, and Happy Together for some time, but only Chungking actually appears in their catalog and we've heard rumblings of a new 4K DCP for that one coming later this year.

*The possible fifth title being As Tears Go By, which I don't think has been linked to Janus/Criterion but would be a logical pickup given that it's from the same rightsholders as Days of Being Wild.
