Here was my first view when I stopped driving on Monday:
Sunset Cliffs of San Diego, CA.
VIEW TO A "KILLING"
We got a trailer yesterday for Andrew Dominik's "Killing Them Softly" starring Brad Pitt. "KTS" has some Telluride potential as it has checked off a couple of Telluride "boxes" in that it played Cannes and it is distributed by The Weinstein Company. Those two factors are pro-Telluride appearance, however the complete uncertainty about how TWC and Telluride are playing together this year (TWC has so many possible players for awards season: "The Master", "Django", ""Silver Linings", "Quartet"...there are others) means that I put KTS's chances of a T-ride appearance at 20%.
Nevertheless, here's the trailer:

SING FOR MARION LATER
Meanwhile, a film I thought was almost dead certain to play Telluride now may be doubtful for 2012 altogether. I thought Paul Andrew Williams' "Song for Marion" seemed almost too certain to play T-ride. Again, it's a TWC distributed film and features Terrence Stamp and Vanessa Redgrave. I had even thought that a Stamp or Redgrave Tribute was a very real possibility. "Song" has even appeared on the "Ten Bets" list this summer, albeit not lately because maybe I have begun to get a bit suspicious too about the lack of "noise" concerning the film.. Much like KTS above, this doesn't absolutely preclude its inclusion but...
The Playlist is raining all over that notion and any notion that we'll see the film this year at all.

From a "Ten Bets" film to what I now think is only a 30% chance it's going to appear at Telluride.
OSCAR OUTSIDERS
The Playlist has a post up focusing on what it calls awards dark horses and the list includes a number of films and performances that potentially could be on this year's (or next year's) Telluride program (some of them are doubtful for a 2012 release and so may be pushed back to 2013 and even held for late next year as possible awards contenders).
Included in the post are: The Impossible", "Inside Llewyn Davis", "Mud", "The Promised Land", "Song for Marion" (see above) and "Trouble with the Curve".

MASTER VIEWS
And I continue to stalk (electronically) this year's obsession film: Paul Thomas Anderson's "The Master" (still holding onto a slim reed of hope that it will be at Telluride).
The Playlist posts 19 new images from the film here:
