INDIEWIRE'S HOT 25 FALL FILMS
Indiewire put up a new post yesterday outlining 25 Indie films it is interested in that are scheduled for release between now and the end of the year. As you might expect, a number of titles that we're already thinking will play Telluride are on the list and there are also additional titles that could still make the TFF #44 lineup.
The films included that I think are already set for The SHOW are:
Battle of the Sexes
Wonderstruck
Lady Bird
The Shape of Water
and other films that could still make the lineup:
Marshall
Molly's Game
Mary Magdalene
Happy End
The complete Indiewire list can be found here.
MOLLY'S GAME TEASER AND TRAILER?
We got a glimpse of Aaron Sorkin's directorial debut yesterday with the release of a teaser for Molly's Game starring Jessica Chastain. The film is also expected to drop a full trailer today (per Chastain on Twitter).
Here's the teaser from YouTube:
I'm still crossing my fingers that this somehow makes the TFF program.
Molly's Game is being distributed by STX Entertainment and is set for release on Nov. 22.
I kind of think it may well be announced as a part of Toronto's program this week. Often the release of teasers. trailers and images is a pre-cursor for that.
Here's coverage of the teaser release from The Playlist .
A LOOK AT LADY BIRD
A couple of images were released from Greta Gerwig's directing debut yesterday. Lady Bird stars Saoirse Ronan and is set for release from A24 on Nov. 10th.
Here from Indiewire and The Film Stage are those two images:
Lady Bord currently sits at the #8 spot on my latest iteration of the Ten Bets for Telluride list.
WILL THE NEW GUY MAKE THE TREK TO TELLURIDE?
John Bailey is the newly elected president of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. AMPAS and Telluride have had a very tight relationship for a good long while. I have always found it a hoot to see the AMPAS prez in T-ride over the Labor Day weekend having lay my eyes on booth Sid Ganis and Cheyl Boone Issacs over the years. So I am wondering if Mr. Bailey, a cinematographer by trade (A Walk in the Woods, The Way Way Back, The Kid Stays in the Picture), joins us in a couple of weeks.
Hope so!
LATE BREAKING: LEAN ON PETE
Late last night the buzz was that A24 is bumping Andrew Haigh's Lean on Pete to a 2018 release date which makes a Telluride screening less likely. Stay Tuned.
More later...
