It's all about films from The Weinstein Company today as the TWC machine got working in a big way yesterday apparently.
FIRST LOOKS AT "BURNT"
This film stars Bradley Cooper and was originally titled "Adam Jones". The film is directed by John Wells ("August, Osage County) and is set for domestic release on Oct. 23.
A number of outlets reported yesterday the film had a new poster (above) as well as a first teaser via The Today Show. Find the trailer in the stories linked here:

Of the three TWC films I'm talking about today, I suspect that this is in the middle spot in terms of Telluride possibility.
ADDED VIEWS FROM "MACBETH"
The film from today's post that probably is the most likely to show at The SHOW is Justin Kurzel's "Macbeth". The film stars Michael Fassbender as the Scottish King and Marion Cotillard as Lady Macbeth. I've had this on my Telluride watch list for more than a year and were it not for "Carol" I'd probably think it was a lock to play Telluride.
Fassbender and Cotillard have been receiving some potential awards attention for their performances since the film debuted in Cannes back in May.
Take a look at a couple of new stills from the film from this article from The Playlist:

NEW "HATEFUL" POSTER
We also have a new poster that appeared from Qunetin Tarantino's "The Hateful Eight" (above). The film isn't due until Christmas so the probability of a complete version playing Telluride seems incredibly remote.
Still, I wouldn't be completely surprised if it showed up in some uncompleted form over the Labor Day weekend. A number of my fellow journo types have suggested the possibility of a Tarantino tribute with clips or an extended scene as a part of that.
That seems a reasonable possibility to me. Fingers crossed.

TORONTO PART THREE
The Toronto International Film Festival is set to drop more titles today. Expected are their non-Canadian films in the Documentary program and their Midnight Madness program. There have also been some hints that we might see/hear films that will be in their Vanguard program and further galas or special presentations.
I'll publish a special TIFF News post later today if the information we glean warrants.
More later...and for sure tomorrow...
