Join the Fun/More Informed Spec/Ernest and Celestine/Today's Master News

Good Tuesday to Everyone...The first film happens in 3 days...I burn miles in 2!


JOIN THE FUN



In now in what is a constant refrain, remember that you're invited to join me and hosts Mitzi and Larry Mallard for the "Second Annual(?) Guide to the "Ride; Flow of the SHOW" Friday at 5:00pm at The River Club, 550 Depot in Telluride.  Come...we'll banter about film and have a sip and a nosh...should be fun.

MORE INFORMED SPEC



Hollywood Elsewhere (Jeff Wells) claims that Oscar winner (and likely nominee again this year) Marion Cotillard and Dane Mads Mikkelsen are two of the traditional three tributees for this year's Telluride Film Festival.  If true, you can expect to see Cotillard's "Rust and Bone" (#1 on this week's "Ten Bets") and Mikkelsen's "The Hunt" (# 19 on the additional "Ten Bets") and/or "A Royal Affair" (nowhere to be found on MTFB).

Marion Cotillard!  I'm down with that!

Wells also runs through films that he has previously suggested are likely: "Argo", "Frances Ha", "Ginger and Rosa", "Hyde Park on Hudson", "Passion"  and maybe "The Sapphires".  He also claims that Terrence Malick's "To the Wonder" is now off the board.

Take a look at his entire post here:

ERNEST AND CELESTINE



I first noted this as a possibility for Telluride on July 16th with a piece that appeared from InContention/Hit Fix's Guy Lodge.

And, as a matter of fact, I included it this past week as #17 in the additional "Ten Bets" yesterday.  Now comes the news from Kris Tapley at InContention/HitFix that the French animated film has a U.S. distributor.  It's GKIDS.  Tapley also speculates that it could pop up this weekend.  Here's the link to his post:

On a related matter...I had one of those moments yesterday for about an hour in which I thought I had stumbled across some possibly shattering info that would ultimately lead me to be able to up my prediction on the chances that "The Master" might still "sneak" as a part of the TFF #39 program this weekend.  I was pretty excited...chased and chased...searched and googled.  Doubled back....

Ummm...no.  Nothing new to report...as you were...

But for a few minutes...

More later...
