There has indeed been a rumor of a 4K release coming in November, but don't believe it until it is official.

Is there a source for that?

I like it, it's different

The Ambersons cover is very creative. It's noticeably "unfinished" in some areas

Agent Kay · 08-15-2018, 09:25 PM

Did they take a bet that they could make their cover art even worse?

DeyoreW · 08-15-2018, 09:25 PM

A Criterion 4K release?
A Superman 4K release? or
A Superman Criterion 4K release?

Oh, and True Stories as well, since I'm a Talking Heads fan, and since I'm going to see David Byrne in concert in October.

I saw Byrne in March... awesome show and setlist and he still moves around pretty good. Didn't care for True Stories at all though unfortunately.

But I'm definitely in for Some Like It Hot and The Magnificent Ambersons as well... and intrigued by A Story from Chikamatsu.

Really pleased I'm going to be in the States for Nov. 20th, I'd better get some more $s sorted. Yay for getting paid weekly. Bergman, Welles, Byrne and Wiklder will all be mine in the B&N sale.

The Sovereign · 08-15-2018, 09:35 PM

Some Like It Hot, The Magnificent Ambersons, and True Stories are definite adds for me. I'm not familiar with A Story From Chikamatsu, but as usual, I'm interested. Glad November is a sale month.

I believe deepscan is just confused.

Source on that rumor?

zoodermin · 08-15-2018, 09:52 PM

Ambersons, Some Like It Hot, Bergman and Chikamatsu for me. Great month!

I just don't get why people want Criterion to release 4K UHD titles. They already release stellar 2K and 4K restorations. No need for UHD. It would just be an extra cost for them while they can put their time and resources toward other things.

Doctor Jack · 08-15-2018, 09:56 PM

Will definitely get Ambersons and Hot during eithe tthe flash sale or the next B&N sale.

There are plenty of titles that would look amazing on UHD. I would like to see the full potential of the 4K restorations they are doing.

Getting doubtful that Criterion will release Roman Holiday any time soon. They can always still release it after its 65th anniversary, but it seems fitting to release it this year. One more month of announcements left for it to make it.

20th Century Boy · 08-15-2018, 10:22 PM

In for EVERYTHING this month. I was already excited for the Bergman set, but a Wilder upgrade too? Sheeeeeeeiiiiiiiit.

Hopefully the success of the Bergman set is a catalyst for Kurosawa, Godard (first wave era), Hughes and Wong Kar-wai sets.

What's the possible hold up on that? I wouldn't mind a Hepburn set that included "lesser" titles such as Paris When It Sizzles.

20th Century Boy · 08-15-2018, 10:28 PM

From Critters to True Stories, these boys have been suspiciously on point with videos of titles getting new releases soon-ish after their vids (I mean, even check out Bauman's shirt in the thumbnail!):

Strong month. Definitely in for The Magnificent Ambersons, and for Some Like It Hot as I don't have the MGM disc. Almost certain to pick up the Mizoguchi, but I know nothing at all about the Byrne film so need to read up on it.
