I'm still hoping CC will release Ghost Dog.

Criterion is going to be releasing The Great Escape, as per their latest hint.
Awesome news considering how poor the current disc is.

Scorsese states Criterion is putting out Italianamerican (start at 23 minutes). This is only 49 minutes long, so I wonder if this will be a special feature. Hopefully on After Hours, but it would make more sense with one of his early features like ADLHA. Maybe they will be doing a few of his early WB stuff as well like WTKAMD.

American Boy is the movie that Tarantino lifted the heroin OD/needle to the heart scene in Pulp Fiction from. The story is told in dialogue in American Boy, and Tarantino dramatized it.

^ He lifted the storytelling drawl and the fight from American Boy and put that in Reservoir Dogs, too.
ItalianAmerican and American Boy are both on Youtube -- that's how I watched them a few weeks ago.

I'd like to actually see the movie before getting worked up about who releases the blu-ray. And of course that means no UHD.

IMDb says it was shot in 8K. It is a shame that it won’t get a UHD release.

Probably best to stop wishing for Criterion to release UHD - it's just not going to happen.
The funny thing is that we'd always hear from people wanting a title to be released by Criterion, but for those who are buying 4K discs - the opposite is probably happening.
With the studio handling it, at least there'll be a chance for a UHD release - especially if it's a film that was recently in theatres. But as soon as you hear that Criterion will be releasing it, then you know UHD won't happen.

Generally speaking, I'm not really interested in Criterion releasing contemporary titles, regardless of format. I get why it makes sense for both sides, but it's not the sort of thing I'm looking for from them. The 4k thing is just additional salt in the wound.

honestly with Criterion now doing a deal with NEON, it'd be the perfect time to debut a title in 4K UHD - say, um like 'Apollo 11' with all the extras and commentary track that were left off of Universal's bluray edition.

I still think it's highly unlikely they'll do 4K discs, but I could see them embracing 4K streaming on Criterion Channel only for titles where a 4K master exists.

I'm all over Leave Her To Heaven - Technicolor films on blu-ray can look amazing if done right, and Criterion always does them right.

I just wish Spike Lee hadn't shot Bamboozled on standard-def video. It looked worse than VHS quality in the theater.

re: The Criterion Collection 4K/Blu-ray Discussion and Release Thread
The problem with Leave Her to Heaven is that the original elements are long gone. Unless Criterion has conjured up some sort of voodoo magic, don't expect this one too look like The Red Shoes or The River or *insert any other high profile Technicolor release from Criterion*. I hope I'm wrong, but I don't expect this to look any better than the Twilight Time disc, which was fine, but not what it could've been.
