Wishful thinking: Kiyoshi Kurosawa's Suit Yourself or Shoot Yourself 6-film series box set. Or Ernst Lubitsch's pre-Code films at Paramount.

Re: MoC Forthcoming, Wishlist and Random Speculation
Not sure about whether the Cohen Three Ages' 4K restoration is finalised or not, but College, Go West, The Cameraman, The Navigator, Battling Butler and Our Hospitality ones are, and that'd be 6 movies.

Re: MoC Forthcoming, Wishlist and Random Speculation
If Eureka go through Universal for Paramount licenses in the UK, and the 6 films set could therefore potentially include titles from both Universal and Paramount, could we be looking at an Anthony Mann 50s westerns set comprising of:
- The Far Country
- The Furies
- Bend of the River
- Winchester 73
- The Tin Star
- Thunder Bay
All would seem to have HD masters and quite a few have overseas releases announced or rumoured (including a 4k restoration for Winchester 73).

Re: MoC Forthcoming, Wishlist and Random Speculation
Mann would also satisfy Domino's hint about a director with titles already released by MoC.
Would The Tin Star be on the table though? Has Paramount re-licensed out titles they had licensed to WB?

Re: MoC Forthcoming, Wishlist and Random Speculation
Didn’t WB just distribute Paramount titles rather than license them to WB?
And yes I had domino’s clue in mind in trying to come up with an answer.

Re: MoC Forthcoming, Wishlist and Random Speculation
Arrow Academy will be releasing The Far Country according to Adrian Martin, so that wouldn't be part of any MoC plans.
I was I who asked Gambin whether it was Sirk or Sturges, and despite his response I still feel he might be bluffing even though he denied them both. I know a few facts told to me direct from Eureka and one is that a title from Paramount was the 'last piece' in a set they were compiling to cover a director's work at a specific studio.
You can see why I whittled it down to Sirk and Sturges, and had also considered von Sternberg but was aware of Indicator teasing his films so realised it wouldn't be him. That said I was assuming the remaining non-Paramount titles would be from Universal, since the latter distribute Paramount's catalogue, and I could be wrong there. I have looked through other possibilities though and can't think of many others (some have suggested McCarey).

Re: MoC Forthcoming, Wishlist and Random Speculation
I did consider this since Lang is obviously a go-to of theirs, but these were the only titles I could see them including:
You and Me (Universal)
The Return of Frank James (Fox)
Western Union (Fox)
Scarlet Street (Universal/P.D.)
Cloak and Dagger (Paramount)
House By the River (Paramount)
American Guerrilla in the Philippines (Fox)
Could be wrong but I can only realistically see them doing a few of those, and most likely as single releases (as they have done for The Woman in the Window and Human Desire).
This is a pretty solid theory actually - I had briefly considered that it could be a Mann-Stewart set comprising of the unreleased titles on UK Blu-ray:nitin wrote: ↑Wed Jun 19, 2019 9:31 amIf Eureka go through Universal for Paramount licenses in the UK, and the 6 films set could therefore potentially include titles from both Universal and Paramount, could we be looking at an Anthony Mann 50s westerns set comprising of:

Winchester '73
Bend of the River
Thunder Bay
The Naked Spur
The Glenn Miller Story
Strategic Air Command
That's assuming The Far Country is definitely with Arrow (as Adrian Martin has said), and The Man from Laramie wasn't able to be included (being a Columbia title, and that they've already released it separately). That being said, The Naked Spur is MGM and Strategic Air Command is Paramount, so the fact this set is supposed to be a director at one particular studio foils this theory. Maybe yours is closer to the truth, if true.
Either way, if MoC aren't doing an Anthony Mann set perhaps Arrow are instead, and The Far Country is part of a box set. Would make sense since they haven't done many Westerns as part of Arrow Academy recently and might want to prove they can do a decent box set of classic Westerns after seeing Indicator's Boetticher one.

Could Kiss Me Deadly be a contender? The BBFC recently approved it, though the distributor is listed as Sony. And obviously MoC loves Aldrich.

Someone on Facebook said the BBFC recently approved a film called Iron Fisted Monk which previously had over a minute of footage cut out of it.

Re: MoC Forthcoming, Wishlist and Random Speculation
This is probably it—the BBFC has a listing with Eureka as the distributor, and we know it's in the pipeline because their end-of-the-year poll mentioned it as part of a Sammo Hung box from Eureka Classics. Previous releases were cut for sexual violence, but the BBFC is a lot less strict about that nowadays. One of the other films in the planned set (Eastern Condors) has also been historically cut by the BBFC, but that probably won't be waived because it involves animal cruelty.

Re: MoC Forthcoming, Wishlist and Random Speculation
Reading this post too quickly had me marvelling at the prospect of a film called 'Fisted Monk' and wondering how that was going to get past the BBFC but then realised I'd skipped the Iron partThe Fanciful Norwegian wrote: ↑Thu Jun 20, 2019 5:41 pmThis is probably it—the BBFC has a listing with Eureka as the distributor, and we know it's in the pipeline because their end-of-the-year poll mentioned it as part of a Sammo Hung box from Eureka Classics.

One film I’d like to see visited from MoC or Criterion is Teshigahara’s Rikyu. A subtle, interesting film that’s been overlooked. The DVD by slingshot entertainment had pretty bad IQ. There exists a Japanese bluray but not sure how much better it fares, there’s no caps online.

My bet is that we'll get a three film collection in the Eureka! Classics line, and one of the other three discs will include two short films as supplements.

FULLER AT FOX: FIVE FILMS 1951-1957 - FIXED BAYONETS!, PICKUP ON SOUTH STREET, HELL AND HIGH WATER, HOUSE OF BAMBOO, FORTY GUNS (Limited Edition Blu-ray Box Set) [Masters of Cinema] - October 28th
THE FATE OF LEE KHAN (Dual Format Edition) [Masters of Cinema] - October 21st
THE DOGS OF WAR (Blu-ray Edition) [Eureka Classics] - October 14th
THE DARK HALF (Blu-ray Edition) [Eureka Classics] - October 14th
Excited and slightly frustrated by the first announcement, since I already own three out of five of those (and bought them on Day One, no less) but happy to have the other two and hopefully there's some kind of improvement (or reason to double-dip). Really looking forward to more King Hu as well so been patiently waiting for the second announcement. The Walken film looks up my street but unfamiliar with the Romero.
