BATTLE OF THE SEXES FIRST TRAILER
ORSON WELLES AND ALFONSO CUARON IN 2018
Meanwhile we also learned this week that Alfonso Cuaron's Roma will also be targeting a 2018 release taking it off the Telluride possibilities list. Indiewire reported the news and also included a "sneak peek" of the film. That "peek" is here via YouTube:
CANNES TRAILERS AND CLIPS CONTINUED
The parade of first-look teasers and clips continues from films that are playing in France over the next few days as a part of the Cannes film festival. I have provided links to a number of those which have been released in platforms other than YouTube below:
MORE ACQUISITION NEWS FROM FRANCE
Two announcements yesterday from Cannes grabbed my attention as the players involved probably boost the notion that the films involved have Telluride potential.
Sony Pictures Classics bought Andrey Zvyganistev's Loveless while The Cohen Media Group nabbed L'amant Double. Both of those films had already been on my TFF #44 watch list and SPC's and Cohen's previous plays at Telluride, at the very least, don't reduce those films chances of making the T-ride lineup.
Details of the deal for L'amant Double are here from Variety.
NEW FILMS TO WATCH FOR TFF #44
Geoffrey Rush and Armie Hammer in Final Portrait
Pre-Cannes acquisitions and announcements this week put two new films on my TFF #44 watch list.
First, Sony Pictures Classics announced that they had acquired Stanley Tucci's Final Portrait. Final Portrait played at the Berlin Film Festival back in February.
Final Portrait stars Geoffrey Rush (T-ride attendee in 2010 with The King's Speech) and Armie Hammer.
Further details are here from Variety as well as here from The Wrap.
Additionally, we discovered yesterday that documentarian Michael Moore has a Trump documentary in the works and that film has been bought by The Weinstein Company. Moore was last at Telluride for the 2013 40th anniversary celebration.
The greater likelihood is that Moore's new doc will play in late July as part of the Traverse City Film Festival (that he founded) and that will probably mean no play at T-ride but never say never.
The doc is titled Fahrenheit 11/9 playing off of Moore's most successful film, the Iraq war documentary Fahrenheit 9-11.
TELLURIDE RE-WIND: A LOOK BACK AT TFF #28
Today I continue my expended history of the Telluride Film Festival. If you haven't been following along, I have undertaken to expend the "Selected History" section of this blog. Working backward from the 2005 fest which is most recent one for which a program is not linked on the official TFF website.
So I have been working in reverse chronological order and posting the details of past fests. Today we go back to TFF #28 whcih ran from Aug. 31-Sept 3, 2001.
