NEW TRAILER FOR DOWNSIZING
Paramount released a new trailer this week for Alexander Payne's Downsizing. The film is slated to hot theaters on Dec. 22. Here's the new trailer from YouTube:
I have also linked some coverage of the trailer's release from Alex Billington's FirstShowing.net. That is linked here.
FUTURE TELLURIDE
Back in the Sept. 25th post I included a segment on possible future Telluride films called "Looking Ahead". The list consisted of ten films (out of 56) that I have been tracking that still could, eventually, be in a TFF lineup. One of the films that was not on that list of ten but is in the long list is Mike Leigh's Peterloo.
I mention this because Peterloo popped up this week with a "first look" still from the film:
It appears the thinking is that Leigh will have the film ready for Cannes. Should that be true, I'd think it was a very solid choice to be at the top of the TFF #45 speculation list. Leigh has had a significant history with Telluride. Additionally, the film will be distributed by Amazon Studios which also does not hurt its T-ride chances.
Peterloo is based on the 1819 massacre of protesters in Manchester, England. 60,000 protesters were gathered seeking voting reform. 15 were killed.
Leigh's previous films at Telluride include: Mr. Turner, Another Year and Happy-Go-Lucky.
Here are a couple of stories about the photo and the film from Indiewire and from The Film Stage.
INTERVIEWS: GERWIG, OLDMAN, JOLIE AND COOPER
I have included here the link to a new Indiewire interview with Lady Bird director and writer Greta Gerwig. The interview is with Anne Thompson.
Also, The Deadline Contender series of interviews was rolled out this week and includes interviews with Gary Oldman (Darkest Hour) , Angelina Jolie (First They Killed My Father) and Scott Cooper (Hostiles).
The Oldman (with Joe Wright as well) interview is here conducted by Pete Hammond.
That's your MTFB for Monday, Nov. 6th. There will be more on Thursday.
