Gilliam's catalogue has been enjoying a slate of new editions in recent years so sooner rather than later is a safe bet. Munchausen's current disc from Sony is very, very solid for a 2008 transfer IMO but it could look even better. The OCN is reportedly in superb condition.

Given that Arrow have delivered stellar encodes of 12 Monkeys, Time Bandits, and (just recently) Fear And Loathing In Las Vegas, my default preference goes to them.

That said, I'm still very much a Criterion fanboy and would be overjoyed to grab a new edition from them as well. My guess is we'll see something here in the next year.

Sorry to get back on the teal train, but this puts a whole different spin on the issue since this time around it's not a Criterion title that can be accused of tealing the picture but a new release of a Criterion title by another label -- or rather two. Namely, VALERIE AND HER WEEK OF WONDERS and PARIS, TEXAS. Here are links to the comparisons. I wonder if Lee Kline still stands rock solid behind the teal now that Criterion has released the correctly looking versions (yes, tealing is wrong, guys -- it always was, it always will be, Criterion or not).

A new 4K scan and his commentary from the CC Laserdisc would be very welcomed.

Netflix confirms on Twitter that The Irishman, Atlantics, and American Factory are going to be released by Criterion.

Absolutely amazing news. Awesome that Netflix is doing this. I hope they go back and release some of their previous films as well.

I am so glad Criterion is saving these films from a digital only streaming hell. Now we can have copies of these films physically that can be passed down, and last longer than Netflix will.

Great news! Criterion, if you're reading this: Release Beasts of No Nation!!!!

American Factory to me was boring - but eh, that was my personal take on the movie and I really dig documentaries.

oh and I'd add 'Atlantics' in my top ten of 2019.

[MifuneFan]

With what we know coming out this year, Criterion already locked down Best boutique label of 2020, and it's only January.

Forgot they also confirmed Marriage story

Criterion has had a habit of disappointing me recently...however with todays news...

[DandyDancing]

I wonder with this news and the fact they have a relationship with Amazon and Neon if they will be increasing their number of titles per month to include even more modern titles and fulfill their promise of being a “Important collection of contemporary and classic films”.

I was kind of thinking and hoping the same thing myself. It might be a good business model to start releasing 'new' titles more frequently, and I would assume these are less time-consuming to put together--and easier to make 'director-approved' editions.

I just watched Atlantics yesterday, by coincidence, and I thought it was a very good movie that could use a supplements-filled release. For those who might not know, the director, Mati Diop, is the niece of Djibril Diop Mambéty, the Senegalese director who created Touki Bouki, which is part of Criterion's World Cinema Project releases.

The Other Side of the Wind is coming as well. The supplements are still being worked on.

[Gacivory]

I hope Okja, Meyerowitz Stories, Buster Scruggs, and Beasts of No Nation get put on the docket!

I hope—and I think it's fair to say I expect—They'll Love Me When I'm Dead is included as a supplement.

I'm old enough to remember when people were complaining that Criterion's Valerie was teal. Which, no, it is cool. That Second Run release is teal.

Edit: Just saw this post. The real news here, IMO.
