There's also the secondary list of potential Criterion candidates (based on WA DVD reissues), which appears to include:

The 7th Victim (to add to the longstanding I Walked With A Zombie rumour)
Gummo
The Lusty Men
Petulia
Scaramouche
The Year of Living Dangerously

I Am A Fugitive From A Chain Gang was also touted based on a Mervyn LeRoy phantom page.

This is the official statement on the Sam Peckinpah FB page:

“The preview cut that will be available on The Criterion Collection's upcoming release of PAT GARRETT & BILLY THE KID is not Turner's, but Sam Peckinpah's final and never before seen preview cut, recovered and restored specifically for this release -- the closest we have to a director's cut of the film that we will ever get. Its 2k restoration will be included in the blu-ray, along with a 4k (and tweaked) 50th-anniversary restoration of the final cut and the theatrical cut.

Here's the story: A "heist" was engineered to get Peckinpah's final preview print out of the projection room where it was screened for MGM execs. Sam was walking off the picture, and a Watergate-esque "break-in" was orchestrated by those who felt that Sam's preview needed to be preserved. Unfortunately, the clean up crew didn't realize that it was an interlock print. Sound and picture were separate, so they grabbed the picture and left the sound behind whose retrieval required a second heist. But all missions were ultimately successful. When Sam was presented with the print, he was so paranoid that MGM was going to come after it that he put a fake title ("The Racquet Club;" pictured) on the cans and leader. It's never been released until now, because it was among Sam's personal prints, not in the studio vaults.

When Michael Chaiken reached out to me on behalf of Criterion about their restoration and upcoming release of PAT GARRETT & BILLY THE KID, I got him in contact with Sam's friend and archivist Don Hyde, who pointed them in the right direction to locate and restore Sam's preview cut. I also encouraged them to contact Mike Siegel, who ended up making a documentary for this release, and connected Michael with Jeff Slater, who contributed from his abundance of archival material for the special features and provided additional contacts for supplemental material.

In short, this was a team effort -- and we are so grateful for Criterion's collaborative spirit to ensure that we did right both by Sam and all of his fans who have waited so patiently for its release. Now it's up to us to honor their work and procure our copies, which releases on 7/2/24 and can be pre-ordered here: https://www.criterion.com/films/2902...-billy-the-kid “

The following extras are on the original French release release but NOT on the newer 4K restoration one from last year which has ALL new extras:

"Melville-Delon: D'honneur et de nuit" 2011 featurette by Olivier Bohler (23:04)
Interview with Alain Delon on Monsieur cinéma from 1967 (5:16)
Interview with Jean-Pierre Melville on the set from 1967 (4:09)
Theatrical Trailer (3:33)

Another phenomenal month for Criterion.

Day 1 for Perfect Days 4K and Le Samurai 4K. Maybe also Risky Business 4K.

I Am A Fugitive From A Chain Gang was also touted based on a Mervyn LeRoy phantom page.

This needs to happen.

Now that Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid is being released, I'm hoping Carnal Knowledge is not too far off the horizon.

Happy that it’s actually new art instead of just repacking the blu art.

The new cover art is also loosely based on the Japanese poster of the film:

Does Criterion have Carnal Knowledge?

It's long overdue on blu-ray / 4K UHD.

I don't see what the two films have in common.

Criterion supposedly has had this for many years, at least that was what was mentioned in the past....but who knows for sure

Nothing in common. The rumors about Carnal Knowledge date back to the "phantom pages," which were empty pages of directors, writers, and actors for films that Criterion had not released that appeared when Criterion did a site revamp a number of years ago. Nearly all of them eventually got released, but some of the "phantom pages," like those for The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly obviously didn't.

What are the chances of Criterion releasing Barfly on Blu-Ray? I bought the really good German Blu-Ray from Koch Media for a good price of 26 dollars total on Sunday from Amazon Germany as I'm shipping it to the US. Do you think Criterion would release this on Blu-Ray, and 4K UHD? I think they should it would be awesome if not them then probably Kino Lorber, or Arrow Video.

Nice this is great looking forward to rewatching this film again I remember watching it on AMC years ago.

I'm not trying to offend, but could you please use the quote function. You often post what seems to be replies to something or someone, but without context, it just looks like you're replying to yourself. I have no idea what film you're talking about here for instance.

Come on, lets complete Val Lewton's horror films.

And Gummo would be a def get for me so I'm hoping that happens.

It may be replies to the voices in his head.

That is seriously one of the greatest posters I've ever seen.

Yeah, they wouldn't want to sound like me.

OK I was talking about Barfly, but yeah you're right I am talking to myself by not using the quote function I keep forgetting to use it. Whoops
