At least that has a release somewhere in the world! (BFI) I'm dying to see Crime de Monseiur Lange!

Really interesting that Archive DVD-Rs of The Breaking Point, Blow-Up, Barcelona and Kurosawa's Dreams are included in this week's OOP list

Re: Criterion and Warner Bros.
Very exciting possibilities here, especially seeing as the WAC DVD-R of "Blow-Up" is less than a month old. Where did you find this list?souvenir wrote:Really interesting that Archive DVD-Rs of The Breaking Point, Blow-Up, Barcelona and Kurosawa's Dreams are included in this week's OOP list

Interesting to see Breaking Point and Murder, My Sweet also on that list. Could explain the Edward Dmytryk and Michael Curtiz phantom pages.

Murder My Sweet just made the transition to the Archives, so doubtful on that core. We know Stillman's been pushing for a Criterion release of Barcelona, so maybe on that one. And yes, that could be the Curtiz they went after as well

I would hope Criterion gets Before Sunrise and Before Sunset, too. They could also license Before Midnight from Sony and release a box set.

Notice 'Roots' is on that list too. Would be cool to get a criterion box set release of that.

It looks like Amazon doesn't have The Player in stock. Maybe going OOP soon?

Every version of it including the recent three-pack with Body Heat and LA Confidential is OOP on MMM

As Warner seemingly aren't going to release it themselves, I wonder if Criterion licensed John Ford's 7 Women.

Awesome. I mentioned on this forum not one month ago that I was buying The Player on blu so that it it would go OOP and come to Criterion. Fuck me.domino harvey wrote:Every version of it including the recent three-pack with Body Heat and LA Confidential is OOP on MMM

Re: Criterion and Warner Bros.
About a week ago Warner Brothers discontinued a number of Archive releases that generated some speculation that they may have been licensed to Criterion including:
Dreams (Akira Kurosawa)
Blow Up (Michelangelo Antonioni)
The Breaking Point (Michael Curtiz)
Barcelona (Whit Stillman)
The OOP list this week has a few more Warner titles that seem like they may go to Criterion:
Magnificent Ambersons (Orson Welles)
The Asphalt Jungle (John Huston)
A Face in the Crowd (Elia Kazan)
Klute (Alan Pakula)
Day for Night (Francois Truffaut)
Before Sunset (Richard Linklater)
Cat People (Jacques Tourneur) Both the individual Cat People and the Val Lewton box are officially discontinued this week.
Before Sunrise (Richard Linklater)
Dreams (Akira Kurosawa)
Blow Up (Michelangelo Antonioni)
The Breaking Point (Michael Curtiz)
Barcelona (Whit Stillman)

Super excited at the prospect of having some of these enter the Collection. Looks like some of our initial hopes/suspicions may prove true!

The individual release of Madame Bovary (Vincent Minnelli) as well as all packaged versions (TCM sets; etc) are on the chopping block this week too.

Re: Criterion and Warner Bros.
Don't know which ones Criterion has actually gotten, but these are all smack in the center of their wheelhouse (The Breaking Point perhaps slightly less so, but with Ride The Pink Horse coming, makes sense).ianungstad wrote:About a week ago Warner Brothers discontinued a number of Archive releases that generated some speculation that they may have been licensed to Criterion including:

I'm sure we'll get a good indication in the next New Year's Day wacky drawing for which WB titles that will be coming.

Re: Criterion and Warner Bros.
Plenty of stuff here seems spot on for Criterion.
Blow Up fits with their Antonioni releases, there has been plenty of speculation for Before Sunset & Before Sunrise, but also for Barcelona. And it seems there might be a HD master for The Magnificent Ambersons because a French magazine (Les années Laser) has "announced" that it would be in Warner France line up for early 2015. A BD remains surprising but one can only hope.

I'm baffled that Warner Archive discontinues titles.
It would be neat if Criterion publishes another double feature loosely inspired by a Hemingway source.

If those films appear on Criterion, what a year it will be! They look like choices Criterion would go for.

Re: Criterion and Warner Bros.
Malick's The New World is being discontinued by Warner Bros on dvd and blu this week too.
The individual releases of Frankenheimer's Seven Days in May and George Steven's Woman of the Year have been discontinued for awhile but Warner has deleted all TCM and other multi-film sets that contain either film this week. (TCM Lancaster 4-pack; TCM Romantic Comedies Collection; etc)

Re: Criterion and Warner Bros.
I'm guessing a minimum three years for all 15 mentioned so far which would be a very rapid pace. Though if I were Warners I would insist on a clause that all films be released within a twelve month window after the first release is issued or all non issued titles revert to wb. Otherwise criterion might release one and then trickle them out once every fifteen monthsCinephrenic wrote:If those films appear on Criterion, what a year it will be!
