The Man Who Fell To Earth (1976)
Source #1: The Criterion Collection’s September 2014 Instagram photo shows a stack of “The Man Who Fell To Earth” (1976) essays alongside several stacks of essays for other Blu-ray home video releases. Being that the film has been out of print for several years, this is an indication that the film is going to be put back into production.
Source #2: An Instagram user, known as “starsinhereyyes”, confirms in the comments section of The Criterion Collection’s September 2014 Instagram photo that her husband’s firm worked alongside The Criterion Collection in July 2014 to bring the film back into production. A release date is set for February 2015.
Martin Scorsese’s World Cinema Project, Vol. 2 (N/A)
Source: The Criterion Collection’s 2012 press conference confirms both “A Brighter Summer Day” (1991) and “Limite” (1931). Two other films, “Law Of The Border” (1966) and “Revenge” (1989) are likely to be included within the set, as well, due to their being on The Criterion Collection’s Hulu page.

Rome, Open City (1945)
Source: The Criterion Collection confirms their poster choice for Roberto Rossellini’s, “Rome, Open City”, presumably for an upgraded Blu-ray release, in their August 2014 Instagram photo. The photo comes at a time where the film is due to be re-released in select theaters with a brand new restoration. Being that “Rome, Open City” was originally released by The Criterion Collection with the other two films included in Roberto Rossellini’s “War Trilogy”, one could assume that the other two films are due to receive the high-definition treatment at the same time or at a later date.
Safe (1995)

You guys are falling down on the job. It's not enough just to predict what will be announced. You also need to say which one of your predictions will get the most "never heard of it" comments, and which one will get the most "not interested" comments.

Hmm. I wonder who usually makes the "not interested" comments....
I'm really hopeful for something by Alain Resnais, be it Hiroshima, Mon Amour or Je t'aime, Je t'aime (or something else entirely).
It's odd that Truffaut's anniversary has thus far gone un-noted by Criterion too, given the widespread celebrations elsewhere. Here's hoping for something on that note too (The Green Room would be a dream).
I don't really buy that as a clue. But it does make sense for Criterion to release it and I really hope they do.
It's definitely a perfect fit and after Paramount licensed Rosemary's Baby I was in the 'only a matter of time' camp too but I have to say, I'm starting to waver a little now.
Spartacus is another one that seemed like a done deal but never materialized.

Maybe a box set including Last Year At Marienbad... *hopeful for Alan Resnais and Carol Reed box sets that restore two of the OOP blus whilst including new films*

Yes, you'd have thought Criterion would do something for it before the end of the year!

We watched The Kid in my film history class today.
I saw the film towards the start of the year via Turner Classic Movies and I remember enjoying it enough, but it wasn't until today that I loved it. It's not my favorite Chaplin film by any means, but it has a lot of heart to it.
I'm definitely hoping for it to be announced today.
Announcements don't usually come before 1330 PT / 2130 UTC, if not later, so take a breather for a while. You could probably fit in another viewing of The Double Life of Veronique before the announcements are made!

Haha sounds good! (Veronique part!) - I just get so impatient haha
EDIT: It may just be me, but I think the default image for Le Notti Bianche was changed on Criterion's website. Hmm...if true, it could be a good sign of things to come. http://www.criterion.com/films/868-le-notti-bianche
