FIRST MAN TRAILER...OF COURSE (AND POSTER TOO)
As expected, the first trailer for Damien Chazelle's First Man was released Friday night. I included it on my Twitter feed almost as soon as I could lay my hands on the YouTube link. Here it is:
The release generated a lot of interest online and the number of sources that reported on it Friday/Saturday were numerous. Much of that coverage is linked below but to distill the more interesting nuggets:
Awards Daily's Sasha Stone suggests that First Man "maybe going to Telluride but might hit the Venice/Telluride one two punch". [My guess is the latter if the film does make a T-ride appearance I suspect it will come after a Venice bow]
First Showing's Alex Billington isn't as specific writing that "This film is expected to premiere at a few film festivals in the fall first."
The film is slated to open in the U.S. on Oct. 12th.
Other coverage for the trailer release is linked here from:
MOVING PARTS
You can take a couple of films off your Telluride wish list/prediction charts. Over the weekend we discovered that Lenny Abrahamson's follow up to Room, for which Brie Larson won the Best Actress Oscar (and the film also was nominated for Best Picture, Direction and Adapted Screenplay), The Little Stranger will open domestically on August 31st so you can scratch that.
We also discovered that Where'd You Go Bernadette from director Richard Linklater has been moved to March 22, 2019 so it becomes very unlikely in our Telluride calculations.
COULD THE ANGEL APPEAR?

Distributor The Orchard has acquired the rights to El Angel. The film debuted at Cannes to reasonable critical response as a part of the Un Certain Regard section. The Orchard brought Pablo Larrain's Neruda to Telluride in 2016 so that suggests it's a possibility.
On the other hand, I was really confident that BPM, which The Orchard distributed last year, was going to make a Telluride play and was very, very wrong.
That's your MTFB for this Monday. I'll be back tomorrow as we begin dissecting the offerings from the distributors that most often play Telluride. Starting with the most frequent player: Sony Pictures Classics.
Bye now...
