That's the 2016 look at distribution outlets.  Next Monday I'll start looking at overseas production companies and what that might tell us about Telluride #43.

Also, this reminder.  Toronto's first wave announcement is coming on July 26 and Venice's comes July 28.  That should give us some serious insight.


SORT OF A TRAILER FOR HOW TO TALK TO GIRLS

No, it's not an actual trailer for the film that we're keeping on the Telluride radar because it's in the A24 wheelhouse.  What it is is a teaser for the graphic novelization of the original Neil Gaiman story. So, though it's not for the film...it's kind of close.

Find the teaser embedded in this story from The Hollywood Reporter:

That'll do it for this Friday and this week.  Have a great weekend everyone!
