NEW THINGS TO LOOK AT: Three films show us something about themselves and all of them could be in play on Labor Day weekend in southwest Colorado.
THE OLD MAN AND THE GUN (TRAILER)
We have a first trailer for the Robert Redford starring The Old Man and the Gun. The film also features Sissy Spacek and Casey Affleck in what Redford has said will be his last acting gig. David Lowery (A Ghost Story, Ain't Them Bodies Saints) directs.
Fox Searchlight is distributing and coming off of last year's Best Picture Oscar win for The Shape of Water combined with an announced release date of Sept. 28th and the fact that Redford is a fairly recent T-ride tribute recipient, you have to think that the film has a shot at a Telluride berth. Maybe a Sissy Spacek tribute?
Also, the trailer's great. Here it is from YouTube:

A STAR IS BORN (TRAILER)
The Internet lost its collective mind yesterday over the first trailer drop for the fourth (I think) version of A Star Is Born. This version stars and is directed by Bradley Cooper. Lady Gaga also stars as the star who gets born. Sam Elliott and Dave Chapelle also are featured.
In fairness to the Internet...this trailer is also impressive. There had already been good buzz building for the film and it seems the trailer has added fuel to the fire.
As a matter of fact, a few weeks back I started paying some serious attention to its Telluride chances because of the scuttlebutt I was seeing about test screenings.
There has been Oscar buzz and that also took a jump with the trailer's release yesterday.
So...the factor to consider: It could be Warner Brothers ticket back to Telluride. Since 2012 WB has had: Argo, Prisoners, Gravity, Black Mass and Sully at the fest.
A Star Is Born is set for an Oct. 5th release.
Here's the trailer via YouTube:

FIRST MAN (STILLS)
And also appearing yesterday, the first stills from Damien Chazelle's Neil Armstrong biopic First Man starring Ryan Gosling. The La La Land pair could see this film book a return trip to Telluride for Chazelle (with Gosling, perhaps, attending this time around).
The film is under the Universal banner and is set for domestic release on Oct. 12th.
As you can see from the imprint, People magazine was the first to post the pics:

That's going to have to do it for this Thursday. I'll be back tomorrow to wrap up this first week in June.
