Kuroneko? Island of Lost Souls?

Cat People?

My first thought was Kuroneko. I'd welcome Emir Kusturica's Black Cat, White Cat too.

I don't see it being Cat People (either the original or the remake; although if I had to pick between the two, the remake is more likely). The original is held by Warner Bros., and is a part of their Val Lewton box set. While both Universal and Schrader have a good relationship with Criterion, there is already a notable SE of Cat People released; it just seems like a title I could see Universal putting out themselves.

I could see Kuroneko getting released, but with the file name as wackypanther.jpg, I think that fits this title (which has been rumored for quite some time), making this release all the more likely:

I'd be all over a BD of the 1982 Cat People. Not a good movie IMO, but very high on my guilty pleasures/favorite trash films list.

I seriously doubt that is the clue, though.

Solid Snake

I don't think it's Cat People either but if they chose the film it'd probably surprise me a bit but in their DVD side they did release The Rock, Armageddon, and The Blob to name a few.

I've only seen Island of Lost Souls in a beat-up, murky transfer, so a (presumably) hi-def release would be an absolute revelation.

I think this and The Getaway are my only remaining HD DVDs that I can't switch to Blu

Solid Snake

The Getaway? Why not?

davidh777

It's the Kim Basinger version

I really do hope it is Island of Lost Souls.

Solid Snake

oh yeah...I forgot about the remake.

and STREETS OF FIRE

And THE BIG LEBOWSKI!

Arpeggi

And Being John Malkovich!

davidh777

Yeah, except I don't have any of those. Feel free to make fun of my HD DVD collection.

Actually I have replaced a number of HD DVDs already. It's stuff like Sky Captain that I don't know if I'll ever get around to watching that I haven't felt the need to upgrade. And a lot of Kubricks--maybe I'll pick up the new BD collection sometime.

Superdaddy

I've only seen it on a TV showing years ago, so this would be a big step up indeed.

The TV series Manimal?

Jaymole

Please Please Please let it be the the Malaysian film Satu bahasa tidak (My Panther is a Trannie)....I've been hoping that Criterion would release that for ages!!!!

How Stella Got Her Groove Back.

Catwoman!

The Cat Returns

nitin77

definitely Kuroneko. Although I wish they would release an upgrade of Onibaba at the same time, I much prefer that film from Kaneto Shindo.

Maybe they'll just hit two birds with one stone.

It would be incredible if it was Island of Lost Souls. I've only seen a bad print of it a few years back and I've been hoping that it gets released ever since that day. It's strange to think that there was never a R1 DVD release, at least one that I'm aware of.
