That looks like part of the Master's Course in Criterionology.
The only titles I listed which I don't see mentioned somewhere on that List are: Linklater's
subUrbia & Leni Riefenstahl's
Olympia.

Our list has been here for years. Most other sites lift their info on upcoming Criterions from it. We used to have
Olympia listed, but I believe that Criterion's plans fell through years ago.
SubUrbia was confirmed here from multiple sources a few weeks ago. Cinephrenic probably just hasn't had a chance to add it yet.
Bigger Than Life and a couple of other recently discovered titles probably need to be added too.

Yes, I haven't had the chance to update it, but have compiled a list of updates in my private messages and a update will come very soon. Also, there is a bunch of catalog Janus Films that Criterion has a control of that I don't add because I don't know the status of them. They are just added when there is evidence of a new print in circulation.

I will be mildly dissapointed if The Old and the New were not in an Eisenstein silents box.

Doesn't The Hidden Fortress already have a spine? Also I think the Eisenstein silents were shot down recently.

By all accounts, this is a horrible edition imagewise, and the release itself was only possible because the film is in the Public Domain in the US (I suppose). So I can't see any reason why CC shouldn't do it again, apart from the fact that they would surely want to release the full, original 1938 cut, not the somewhat shortened version that Riefenstahl made in the 60s to make a re-release possible in Germany (with the Olympic oath and a few other things missing). And as all current versions of the film on disc make use of that later edit (though I remember vaguely that Pathfinder declared their version to be somewhat more complete), it's probably hard to get a useable print of the original cut.

You just know that would have made for one hell of a cover, too.

Good to know. I was actually just about to ask here if it was too early to think about a Varda II set w/
KFM,
One Sings, the Other Doesn't,
Les Créatures etc. Or maybe an Eclipse set of her Docs.
On a somewhat related note, I wonder if Criterion would be interested in Claude Miller's
The Little Thief. It's based on Truffaut's much labored over script for a female
400 Blows. It's never been out properly on Region 1 DVD, and Criterion luvs them some Truffaut.

Unless r2 is a no -no for you I think you'll find that Lino reported on the Demy thread that Tamaris are working on a Varda comparable Intégrale this year.

Sadly r2 is still a no-no for me at the moment, but that news is good to hear--not just for the Varda, but for that Demy set they've done too. Reasons # 209 & 210 to finally get a region-free player.

Not sure where else to post this but this comes from Richard Linklater's production company:
"At the moment, there are no plans for a Before Sunrise or Before Sunset special edition DVD."
It's very possible that all that's in store between Linkater and Criterion is SubUrbia.

Eh, at this point in time I'm more interested in getting still-not-released-on-DVD-in-its-OAR films out before looking for upgrades.

I visited the "Setting the Scene" exhibition at the Australian Centre for the Moving Image in Melbourne over the weekend. The Criterion Collection was credited for a clip of The Umbrellas of Cherbourg, in addition to other titles already available in the collection. Has this ever been mentioned as a possibility?

That would be great, but I haven't heard it mentioned as a possibility before. The Koch Lorber DVD is in print, and as far as I know, they have the rights. I wonder if the exhibit you saw might have used the old Criterion laser as the source of their clip, and credited them for that.

It might also be worth noting that a couple of clips from The Umbrellas of Cherbourg were used during the visual glossary feature on the Band of Outsiders DVD.

I can't see that anyone has posted this yet, but on criterion's
