Posters!!!/Drive Trailer/Odds and Ends

Back home this morning from debate camp...great week, but glad to be at the homestead...

POSTERS!!!

Two quick poster notes this morning.  One about a poster that is just out for a possible Telluride film...the other a story about a poster for a TFF #37 film that didn't happen.

First, the poster that you CAN see..."Moneyball" directed by Bennet Miller and starring Brad Pitt, Jonah Hill and Philip Seymour Hoffman.  Thanks to Rope of Silicon we have a look...




It's really...um...green...

The other poster tidbit comes from Roger Ebert who has an interesting story about the poster work for Errol Morris' documentary from last year's festival, "Tabloid."  This is the poster they DID NOT use:

Ebert has the explanation for it's exclusion here:

DRIVE TRAILER

Several outlets yesterday with the release of a red band trailer for Nicolas Winding Refn's "Drive" that features Ryan Gosling, Carey Mulligan and, as a really bad guy, comedian Albert Brooks.  Brooks is already getting some significant Oscar buzz for a Supporting Actor nomination.  Check out the trailer by taking a look at this story from The Playlist at Indiewire.

The trailer looks great.  "Drive" has some Telluride "markers."  It was at Cannes (Refn won Best Direction) and Carey Mulligan has made Telluride a second home for the past two Labor Days.   My excitement for it's possible inclusion at the Telluride Film Festival has steadily increased through this summer.

Drive is being distributed by Film District which is also distributing two other possible Telluride films: "The Rum Diary" and "In the Land of Blood and Honey."


ODDS AND ENDS

---The Venice Film Festival is reportedly going to announce their lineup on July 28.  Clues?
---I'll be glad when Comic Con closes up shop...it has sucked the air out of reporting much of anything else film wise.
---This week I have added links to a number of the sites I reference frequently so you can get to them easily and peruse them yourself.

Have a great weekend everyone!
