Charlize Theron starring in "Young Adult"
WERNER'S DOC ABOUT DEATH ROW
Variety reported this morning that German Production company ZDF has signed onto the Werner Herzog documentary "Gazing into the Abyss." The doc is being produced by The Discovery Channel folks for American television. But I would not be surprised to see at least some of it on the playbill for TFF #38. Herzog is a constant on the Telluride Film playlist and the festival likes to have docs on the bill of fare. As for it being developed for TV rather than theatrical release, well, TFF has peeked at some of Ken Burns TV documentary projects over the years. So it wouldn't be out of line for Herzog's doc to show there.
The project focuses on interviews with Texas death row inmates. The IMDB site for the Herzog project (where it's still listed by the title "Death Row') is here:

MONEYBALL TRAILER
Last week we saw the first bits of the trailer for "Moneyball," the baseball film from Bennett Miller starring Brad Pitt, Jonah Hill and Philip Seymour Hoffman. Here's the full trailer without the Entertainment Tonight stuff:

DIABLO'S DREAM
Oscar winner and former Telluride guest (2007/Juno) Dibalo Cody was a guest on a panel yesterday where she revealed that her dream gig/screenplay would be a Brian Wilson (Beach Boys) biopic. Cody (who I met in 2007 at the festival thanks to an introduction from Jason Reitman) is set to see the releases of her next film "Young Adult" this fall. It's another collaboration with Reitman and stars Charlize Theron and Patrick Wilson. I think there's a reasonable chance that we'll see it in T-ride. The Playlist has a nice post about the panel:

ARONOFSKY'S "NOAH"
Darren Aronofsky was the toast of last year's festival with his "Black Swan" for which Natalie Portman won the Best Actress Oscar. Now he says that his NEXT BIG THING may be his magnum opus...a re-telling of the story of Noah. The IFC website has some interesting tidbits along those lines here:
