Gotta love the Interwebs.
First, we stumbled upon the highly credible rumor about David Fincher’s The Game getting the Criterion Collection treatment from Home Theater Forum. Then, Ryan (solid first name, dude) Gallagher from The Criterion Cast happened upon my article about said rumor and decided to do some digging and investigating of his own.
After finding out about his post courtesy of Google Alerts, I’m happy to report back to you fine folks that Gallagher has reinforced our suspicions: I’ve reached out to some sources that haven’t let me down so far in
terms of Criterion rumors, and discovered that this will indeed be
finding it’s way to the Collection, in April of 2011 (assuming everything goes according to plan).
It’s safe to say that this is as close to confirmation we can get until Criterion announces it officially (which is expected to be in January). Things could always change but it’s looking more and more likely that this isn’t going to only be a fan’s dream for much longer.

My favorite Fincher film.
I haven't seen this film since it came out; I remember being rather unimpressed with it. That being said, I am a sucker for Criterion, so I will probably pick this up on blu anyway just as I did with Benjamin Buttons.
Perhaps Fincher's most underrated movie (which isn't to say it's perfect by any means). Unfortunately, I won't be able to own this in the UK due to Criterion region-locking their Blu-Rays…I miss the simpler days of multi-region DVD players.

The Game had a star treatment as a Criterion Laser Disc, back in the day. Commentary, a feature on the taxicab sequence, the whole 9 yards. I've suffered along with everyone else with the crap DVD, which is why I was delighted to buy the Region Free UK Blu-ray last week for cheap. But I'll gladly pick up the Criterion Blu-ray when (not if) it comes out.
