Any chance that Filmstruck will have curated lists and he is just filming an introduction? Hasn't he participated with TCM on several projects?

I think you are right about Bill Hader being there to record something for Filmstruck.

A corgi sits down to discuss (more than likely) Heart of a Dog

Brewster McCloud would be my guess.

I assumed this was just part of the McCabe interviews, but Brewster would be incredible!

DVD Beaver posted their McCabe review and, based on the small shots of the extras, the Michael Murphy interview is not the one in the instagram shot. So it could be a hint for Brewster McCloud or some other Altman.

MOC released That Cold Day in the Park recently. Might also be a consideration

Before the Devil Knows You're Dead is out of print, so here's hoping that's it.

Could also be Tamara Jenkins' Slums of Beverly Hills, which has never even had an anamorphic release (at least in the US). That said, I would be mightily thrilled with a Criterion edition of Love is Strange.

While looking over the supplements for Sony's own release (a commmentary and two half-hour featurettes), I stumbled on this gem from blu-ray.com reviewer Martin Liebman:
Writer/Director Ira Sachs and Actors John Lithgow and Alfred Molina offer a track that feels more substantial than the film
Which is merely a set-up for the real topper:
Love Is Strange might have been something special were it not for its lack of anything overtly meaningful. [...] The film often feels aimless, telling a story that has no plainly evident arc, or at least one that rises very high and does something substantial with the material. It's saved by a couple of excellent lead performances but is otherwise an example of unfulfilled potential. [..] Rent it.
Phenomenally wrong-headed. Like saying "Why watch Ozu? Nothing happens." Or "Bresson, huh? Hope you like hands!"

Somewhere, F. Ron Miller works feverishly on his My Cousin Vinny cover art.

What if Criterion is prepping In the Bedroom?? And speaking of Todd Field, a concurrent release of Little Children? [-o<

Ira Sachs was at the Criterion offices not long ago. He has a closet video.

When I saw the picture on my phone I thought it was bottles of alcohol in the background, and immediately thought Marisa Tomei+Booze = Factotum. But, alas, no alcohol on that picture...

My money is on Before the Devil Knows You're Dead, but perhaps The Wrestler is also a possibility. I'd be thrilled with either. Slums of Beverly Hills and Love is Strange are certainly plausible too.

CC just tweeted a couple of screen shots of Dorothy Malone in Written On the Wind. Second time in three weeks.

I wonder if we can look forward to any extras with Ms. Malone, even if they are voice only...

Maybe that's Toni Erdmann on the balcony.
