Bill Hader has some big news on behalf of Criterion: The famed Criterion Closet is going on a nationwide road trip.

After social media sleuths spotted a Criterion-branded van on the street, IndieWire can announce that the Criterion Closet is in fact going on the road. (To note, there is a very real actual closet that the collection is housed in usually.)

Criterion has built a replica of their famous film closet inside an 18-foot delivery van and will be taking their Criterion Closet Picks show across the U.S., starting in New York City at the New York Film Festival on September 28 and 29, plus October 5 and 6. In the below video, Hader announces the national tour.

From thedigitalbits.com website

Also today, this isn’t official certainly but it’s a piece of information from our industry sources that I’ve actually been sitting on for a while now: Miramax (via Paramount) has licensed one of my favorite films, Anthony Minghella’s The English Patient (1996), to Criterion. This makes perfect sense, as the label previously released it on LaserDisc way back in 1997. So look for remastered Blu-ray and 4K Ultra HD editions to arrive in 2025.
