Army of Shadows! Not Army of Darkness.

Completely different army dude!

Yea, it went OOP a few years back. I don;t think they updated anything but waiting on details.

Maybe Bruce Campbell bought the rights to the Melville film.

And didn't record an audio track? Sure sure ...

Ugh... another Wes Anderson. Doubt the transfer will be much better than the current $7.99 BD.

Every film of his will be on the label. This isn't new.

I know... just hate hearing it every time one is announced - as it always feels like an unnecessary release.

It's been 5 years and hundreds of releases since the last one (Moonrise Kingdom) came out. It'll be ok.

Not really excited. Army of Shadows is excellent, but I already have it. I'm surprised at Me and You and Everyone We Know, I remember disliking it for being one of those quirky pretentious hipster indie films.

Some of us held off buying the prior disc waiting for the inevitable Criterion.

Yeah, same with Isle of Dogs.

The Grand Budapest Hotel was my favorite movie of the of the decade. Can't wait

I'm in for Grand Budapest as well, but I think I like the cover for the initial release better - which is a rare thing, to like the studio release cover better than the Criterion cover.

Criterion has had a few (or more) really horrible covers over the years.

I own 11 copies of Army of Darkness already, but I'd also *kill* for a Criterion edition with a proper new transfer and new extras.

Army of Shadows

Cult Films in the UK just announced that the're releasing 8 1/2 in what they call a "new 2k restoration" (exactly how new is not stated), plus a Fellini four film box set that includes that film, La Dolce Vita, Juliet of the Spirits, and I Vitelloni. I wonder if Criterion's "fallen E" hint is essentially going to be a Region A version of that?

Would be disappointing if Criterion winds up reissuing their existing discs for 8 1/2 and La Dolce Vita and making fans rebuy them to get the other two titles. I'd really like a nice edition of Juliet of the Spirits. Cult Films released that one on Blu-ray in the UK a while ago in what I believe was a sped-up 50Hz transfer. The announcement doesn't say anything about a remaster, unfortunately. Not much info on I Vitelloni either.

Idk... I would think they would do something like the did with the Bergman set. Basically, every title they have of his (plus any newly acquired) on Blu in a box. As I mentioned previously, it is his centennial as well. The unfortunate thing is Fellini had much less output than Bergman.

I think StudioCanal has Nights of Cabiria, though. Without that in the set... eh...

edit: I saw this over on reddit, not sure if true: "Lee Kline from Criterion said on the Home Theater Forum Podcast a couple of weeks ago that new restorations of Fellini’s films are in the works and that Criterion will almost certainly be putting out a Bergman-esque boxset of his films."

One can hope that a lesser number of films would mean a smaller price tag than the Bergman set.

I just hope the Fellini set has a more shelf friendly box than the Bergman set. If you can't display them proudly on your shelf are they really even worth owning?

Incredibly excited and honored to announce that THE IRISHMAN, MARRIAGE STORY, AMERICAN FACTORY, and ATLANTICS will all join the
@Criterion
Collection later this year!

Irishman and Marriage Story very nice!

Wonder if they can fit all of Irishman on a single disc without too much compression.
