Brand Upon the Brain seems the most likely to me given that it is an homage to silent films.

If it is Brand Upon the Brain, it sets up the opportunity for some interesting alternative audio tracks, with some of the celebs who have provided narrations.

I'd be just as interested though in a collection of Maddin's shorts ala "by Brakage".

Amen to that, but I feel chris_sc77 may be right about the long out of print Careful with "silence" being the keyword in the clue.

Cool, so they're including a comic book adaptation with the DVD.

Gotta love Criterion!

DVD Aficionado lists Brand Upon the Brain as a "Not Announced" Criterion title, so that's probably it.

From the DVDBeaver newsletter:

"On Criterion’s unofficial slate are the quintessential Noir Cry Of The City (1948), Wes Anderson’s first effort, Bottle Rocket, Dillinger Is Dead (Marco Ferreri), Stephen Frears’ The Hit, Nicolas Roeg’s fun Insignificance, David Bowie in Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence, Louis Malle’s My Dinner With Andre, Antonioni’s La Notte, John Huston’s Wise Blood, Lars Von Trier’s Zentropa, and Sam Fuller’s much anticipated White Dog."

Other then Cry of the City and Dillinger is Dead, we already knew all of those would be Criterion titles at some point.

Masters of Cinema just released a beautiful edition of La Notte but with no extras. Criterion would have to do an amazing job with the transfer to top it.

Hmm...Gary Tooze posts on criterionforum.org and that blurb looks like it was just culled from the forthcoming list there. Didn't he get a bunch of slack for announcing Shanghai Express as a 2008 title, as well as listing Kurosawa and Lubitsch titles that had already been solicited?

'WISEBLOOD' !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Plus; can't wait to finally throw out my old betamax of 'Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence'!

Haven't seen 'Insignificance' since it was in theatres. I vaguely remember liking it, though not as much as 'Track 29' - I gotta think that would be a better choice.


Still no news of Criterion issuing Bly-Rays, though, huh? Bummer.
