TEN BETS #5
A slight alteration to this week's "Ten Bets" as a result of some detective work I was able to do last week over a two day period.
Here's last week's "Ten Bets":
1) Amour
2) Rust and Bone
3) Beyond the Hills
4) On the Road
5) Something in the Air
6) The Central Park Five
7) Serge Bromberg's Charlie Chaplin Project
8) Hyde Park on Hudson
9) Like Someone in Love
10) No
And here's this week's:
1) Amour
2) Rust & Bone
3) Beyond the Hills
4) On the Road
5) Midnight's Children
6) The Central Park Five
7) Bromberg's Chaplin
8) Hyde Park on Hudson
9) Like Someone in Love
10) Something in the Air
Pablo Larrain's "No" drops out to make room for "Midnight's Children" but I still feel that it has a solid chance to play in Telluride as does "Song for Marion".
THE MASTER TRAILER IN DEPTH
I posted this link this weekend on the Saturday version of this blog but I'm fairly certain that there are folks who may not take a look at this space except during the week so I'm re-posting this Playlist deconstruction of the trailer for Paul Thomas Anderson's "The Master":

TIFF AND VENICE NEWS
The word is that Toronto starts announcing there lineup on Tuesday.TIFF is touting 60+ Galas and Special Presentations...MTFB will be all over that Wednesday. Meanwhile, The Venice Film Festival announced yesterday that they will open their fest with an out-of-competition film directed by sometime Telluride participant Mira Nair. Nair's "The Reluctant Fundamentalist" will be the opener.
The Reluctant Fundamentalist's" IMDb entry: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2032557/
Nair was involved in T-ride in 2006 with "The Namesake" and also in 1988 with "Salaam Bombay". This doesn't absolutely mean that it's off the table for T-ride, but it probably does. The only Venice opener to also appear at Telluride since 2004 came two years ago in the form of Darren Aronofsky's "Black Swan"...so chances are smallish that Nair will be Colorado bound.
Here's the tweet from Venice head of PR Giovanni Santoro:
"The Reluctant Fundamentalist, the new film directed by Mira Nair, will be the opening film at the 69th Venice International Film Festival"
I anticipate that we'll see all of Venice's lineup by the weekend.
More later...
