I already own the (barebones) Paramount "Days of Heaven" - but I'm still incredibly excited for a Criterion release. It's a masterpiece, in my opinion.

Wonderful news. I just got rid of my Paramount copy yesterday; pretty lousy transfer, so I'm VERY interested to see what Criterion does with this -- that goes for the extras, as well... Malick's films are all completely barebones on DVD, aren't they?
I only wish Warner would give Badlands this treatment!

Haven't seen this, but plan to ASAP. This hint is even more of a reason for me.
I'm loving Paramount's newfound ties with Criterion. I can't wait to grab If..., and I've been pining to see Ace in the Hole for a long time.
on suggesting a Chinatown Criterion. The Conversation would be really nice too, maybe even an end-all, take-all Apocalypse Now. Honestly, I think with this new alliance we could possibly get Zodiac with the slanted C, and make it a "Fincher Francisco Two-Fer" with that Game release.

Wow! Not only is this one of the few Criterion riddles I figured out right away from the picture, but this comes out of left field...I didn't know they were planning to release some Malick. Well, I've got the old Paramount version, but this is a definite must-buy for me.
Fantastic news!

It's such a gorgeous film, and the current transfer is absolutely horrible. When I first got my HDTV it was one of the films that I watched in the first couple of weeks because I wanted to watch things that would look great on a bigger screen, and I was shocked to realize how bad the picture looked on it. I'd rebuy it at full Criterion price just for a nice transfer of the film, let alone with some extras (which would be really appreciated on a Malick film).

Sounds good. A Criterion Malick boxset with Badlands, Days of Heaven, The Thin Red Line, and The New World would be most welcome.

Billy Weber did an interesting and fun "live" commentary for Days of Heaven at the Virginia Film Festival a couple of years ago. I hope he participates in this release.
