MORE CHANGES
The Venice Film Festival has announced its intention to structure a pre-festival tie period for a buyers' market. Sources say that will open Aug. 30, the day before the open of TFF #39. You have to wonder if this will have any effect on Telluride's lineup. The Hollywood Reporter has details here:

COSMOPOLIS
Had an interesting Twitter convo last night with @twilidiot about the new David Cronenberg film "Cosmopolis" being at T-ride in September. I put its chances at about 25%. She says Cronenberg is on record that he doesn't think it will be ready for Cannes which would have a been a good entry for its possible inclusion at TFF #39.
As I told her..."we'll see"...
