I may be misremembering but I distinctly remember reading somewhere (it may have been the KL Insider?) that Criterion has The Misfits.

Edit: I did indeed read it in the KL thread, the Insider implied it was but didn't confirm it.

I know this is a weird source, but I was in the Vinegar Syndrome store in Toronto on the weekend, and someone was asking about Demonlover, and the clerk said he could see an Criterion edition in his system.

Surely someone just entered the Arrow into their stock system incorrectly?

Or maybe the clerk misheard and assumed they were asking about Demon Hunter.

Give me a 4K of Demon SEED! WAC blu ray appears to be OOP. It will never happen, but I would pay money to hear Julie Christie talk about this film.

Or a Cammell Eclipse box with all 3 of his films. White Of The Eye is excellent.

Better yet, a Julie Christie box set. She has several titles that are Criterion worthy, and a few that have been long rumored:

Darling
Fahrenheit 451
Far from the Madding Crowd
Petulia
The Go-Between

Seems like something Imprint would do, albeit with less desired titles but one or two

Not really a Criterion thing doing collections of actors

Other than Paul Robeson

Unless it's martial arts or paired with a director (Dietrich/von Sternberg). A Schlesinger/Christie box would be nice if only 3 titles.

And Ingrid Bergman

I can see the remote potential of a Schlesinger/Christie box set. More likely, The Go-Between as part of a Losey/Pinter set.

There have also been instances of two separate releases coming out the same month featuring the same star, such as Now, Voyager/All About Eve or Altered States/A History of Violence.

Petulia coming out, however it can, so I can finally junk my WAC DVD.... is plenty for me

Yeah, Bergman and Dietrich are paired with directors. It's not like WAC that just puts out actors collections, which seem very random. Not CC's way. A Schlesinger/Christie collection would be outstanding. I'm sure there may be others that I can't think of off the top of my head

There was that Ingrid Bergman Eclipse set. Also Sabu (though all the films were directed by Zoltán Korda)

Ok. You got me. But they are a few and far between. It's not like they will do Stanwyck or Monroe sets. (Watch them release a Monroe set now)

Next month will be their last opportunity to capitalize on all the Monroe @ 100 hype. Monroe @ Fox? Including her noirs & comedies in the same box isn't very likely.

Just noticed on the channel that all the films in the "starring Ninón Sevilla" theme begin with the crazy C, so maybe we were going to get a Ninón Sevilla box but only ended up with Victims Of Sin on disc.

Or what if the ones that weren’t released come out in an Eclipse Set later

My guess is that all 4 were intended for an Eclipse set and then someone decided to see how a single title would do on its own.

Barry Jenkins states that Moonlight is coming to Criterion 4K on A24 Instagram reel about the 10th anniversary.

Crazy. Victims was such a dull, uninspired film to choose. A much better film of hers would be Aventurera (1950). Hopefully they release that one individually or as part of a set.

If it didn’t seem so with the Mike Mills box set, it definitely seems now that they have access to whatever Lionsgate-owned A24 movies they’re passionate about/have a preexisting relationship with the director of. It’d be real easy for them to 100% the Sofia Coppola filmography now.

I really do hope Beau is Afraid is in the works.
