Saw this listed on videoeta.com and amazon has it up for preorder. No mention on either sites if Criterion is releasing it. Fingers are crossed. Maybe this and Bottle Rocket will be announced on the 15th.

I thought Fox did not license their films out?

The reason it's being speculated is that it's a Wes Anderson film, and since all his previous films (including Bottle Rocket) have or will get the Criterion treatment, along with his stated desire that he'd like Criterion to release all his films, it makes one wonder...

Although in the end, I think it is unlikely, due to the studios involved.

I remember reading somewhere that Criterion wouldn't be releasing this one.

Criterion has already announced their February titles so I don't think this one will be among them. It's not totally out of the realm of the possibility. Fox has licensed to them before.

Too soon for a Criterion release I guess. Definitely one of the great movies for 2007 and to add, an underrated one.

No Criterion, but I can at least hope for a blu-ray release.

Fox has licensed a number of films to Criterion.

Edit: Popcorn beat me to it.

If this release date is accurate, and the disc turns out to be fairly barebones, it's possible Criterion will release a more elaborate edition at sometime.

Looking forward to it. Hopefully it'll be a blu-ray with the short attachted. The short movie is definitely required viewing before watching Darjeeling.

Whenever this comes with special features I'll be buying it. Hopefully that promotional special that aired on Comedy Central will be on here.

I don't love all movies by Wes Anderson, but I thoroughly enjoy each movie. If this isn't released by Criterion, I'd second a BD release w/ Hotel Chevelier attached as an extra.

I enjoyed this one quite a bit.

I can confirm this is a Fox release~

Surprise there's no, "No Criterion, No Sale" posts.

Good movie and don't care if it is a CC release.

You're thinking of Warner Bros., there's at least a dozen if not more Fox Criterions.

I'm in for a Blu-ray version (hopefully). I'd be shocked if they didn't attach the Hotel short to the DVD (or Blu-ray). Why wouldn't they?

I love Criterion but I couldn't careless if they released this or not. I prefer that Criterion release movies that no other studio would touch.

enjoyed this film too. thought it would see a criterion release, either way i will pick it up.

*crosses fingers hoping for a blu-ray release*

Looking forward to this. I was really disappointed in Life Aquatic, so I had low expectations for Darjeeling. It turned out to be one of those rare times where a film not only matched my expectations, but exceeded them.

Here are the extras DVDempire lists:
"Hotel Chevalier
Deleted Scene
Featurette
Trailers"

I certainly hope these are not all of the features. I can't imagine this without commentary.

No kidding. The commentaries on the previous discs were great.

I hope this comes out on Blu-Ray, otherwise I won't be buying it. Any news, Mao?

If so, I believe it would be the second BD from Fox Searchlight. While they're at it, work on Notes From a Scandal, Last King of Scotland, I ♥ Huckabees, and Little Miss Sunshine.

this is Fox you're talking about - it's like moving an elephant up a mountain to get anything of good quality film announced or released on bluray.

So true.

I, foolishly, didn't catch this in theaters, so I'm getting this disc. I would have liked a Criterion because on studio titles like this the MSRP is always lower and they still jam-pack it with features.
