Rope of Silicon reports tonight that Alexander Payne's "The Descendants" starring George Clooney has a release date in December. That would fit in nicely with an Oscar run attempt that could easily start at TFF #38. "The Descendants" is on our list of "possibles" for this year's film festival. You can find the complete article here:
Additionally, at MTFB we're waiting for spec pieces to begin to appear for the lineup at Cannes, which is always full of films that make their way to Telluride (TFF averages 6 to 10 Cannes films each year). When we find them, we'll let you know!
Would seem highly likely. After being the Guest Director two years ago, Payne returned to attend as a guest of the festival last year because he had such a great first experience. Bet he'll make it three in a row.
