TFF #37...Schnabel

(Freida Pinto in Julian Schnabel's "Miral")
Hollywood News Reports that The Weinstein Company has picked up distribution for Julian Schnabel"s "Miral." It tells the story of an attempt to establish an orphanage in post WWII Jerusalem and stars "Slumdog Millionaire" beauty Freida Pinto.


This probably signals a boost for its chances to appear at TFF #37. I was surprised it did not show up at Cannes.


The Weinstein Co. had "The Road" at Telluride last year and Schnabel was in Telluride with "The Diving Bell and the Butterfly" in 2007...a really great film... and Schnabel was Oscar nominated as Best Director for that.
