Re: Quarantined Monthly Guessing Thread
Sorry to derail the guessing but is there some credible evidence I’ve missed that’s leading to all these guesses for The Devils? That would be huge.

I think some of the basis is that it'll be spine number 999.

Re: Quarantined Monthly Guessing Thread
I feel like it's only because we're likely getting Spine #999 and people feel like it's going to be devil/Satan related like #666 was. It's possible they'll do nothing for it. #888 for Stalker could have been deliberate because it looks like the infinity symbol, but that could just be a coincidence. They could have done something Vegas or gambling related for #777 but didn't. Anyway for #999, If I'm being realistic, I'd prefer a film that uses devil imagery like Post Tenebras Lux.HitchcockLang wrote: ↑Sun Jul 14, 2019 2:08 pmSorry to derail the guessing but is there some credible evidence I’ve missed that’s leading to all these guesses for The Devils?

Re: The Devils
Peter Becker has said on multiple occasions that it is one of his favorite films and a priority for them. It has also been made known that there are more Russell titles in the pipeline. Criterion’s relationship with WB has so far produced a number of titles that would have previously seemed extremely unlikely. WB also licensed the film out to both Shudder and Filmstruck in the past year and a half so it seems like their wild aversion to it has wained.
We all lnow how important and vital a film like the Devils is and how big of a deal it would be if Criterion were able to put it out in full. And with spine 999 landing in the October slate at a high point of WB licensed films...I think it’s a pretty likely possibilitiy.

Obviously 999 is End of Days.

Re: Quarantined Monthly Guessing Thread
Had no idea.… Just did a quick search, a whole deluxe edition! Not bad.… I really would’ve loved a Criterion release of it, like the one they did with the Roeg’s Don’t Look Now. (Yes, I have an obsession with Criterion releases.)domino harvey wrote:Not that you’re being serious, but already coming from Scream Factory this fall
In that case it would be great if they released The VVitch with that spine number. (Or how I would love Under the Skin!) But that’s probably not happening either because they haven’t released any A24 films yet.

Criterion tweeted an image from Prime Cut in "honor" of Amazon Prime day, therefore I'm guessing Prime Cut is spine number 1001.

For all my ludicrous speculation, I am somewhat surprised only one person has guessed Roma for this month, and only two people have guessed Mirror (1001 would be a criterion humor type of spine)

I have no clue what to expect for spines 999, 1000 and 1001, but if I had to make one hard bet, I'd wager that in commemoration of Spine 1000, Criterion will announce an upgrade of Spine 1: Grand Illusion.

Well Jonny Greenwood has expressed interest in creating a new score for Haxan. I know it's not likely to happen, but just imagine if they worked out something for the rerelease...
