THE DISTRIBUTORS 2108: THE COHEN MEDIA GROUP
Over the years the Cohen Media Group has had a modestly robust presence at the Telluride Film Festival. Here's the history of the organization at TFF since 2012:
2017: The Insult, Face Places
2016: Journey Through French Cinema
2015: Hitchcock/Truffaut, Marguerite, Rams
2014: Magician
2013: No Show
2012: The Attack
But this year, at least at this moment, CMG's larder is almost bare. According to IMDb it seems as of the only film that they have that could be in play for TFF is Julien Landais' The Aspern Papers based on the Henry James novel and starring Joely Richardson, Jonathan Rhys Meyers and Vanessa Redgrave.
The period romance has reportedly been in post-production since last August.
Put The Aspern Papers at 30% and also keep an eye peeled for other Cohen Media acquisitions as we go through the next few weeks. Should that happen, it might change the calculus for CMG's TFF profile.

BEAUTIFUL BOY TRAILER AND POSTER LAND
As advertised, the trailer for Felix Von Groeningen's Beautiful Boy starring Steve Carell and Timothee Chalamet popped yesterday. It's good. Here its is from YouTube:
The film is distributed by Amazon Studios and is scheduled for release on Oct. 12th.
Here's coverage of the release of the trailer from:
Entertainment Weekly
The Playlist
Awards Daily
The Film Stage
Indiewire
ShowBiz411
Deadline
Variety
A couple of these outlets mention that the film is expected to play the fall film circuit. ShowBiz411 specifically mention Telluride and Toronto as possibilities.
Yes please.
MARWEN MOVED
I was very excited and responsive to the trailer that was released a week ago but in these intervening seven days came news that Universal has decided to move the film's release from its original November date to Dec. 21. The U dated Green Room for the Nov. date in Welcome to Marwen's place.
Here are details from Variety and Awards Circuit.
My initial impression is that the move to December could signal that the film won't be ready in time for Telluride/Venice/Toronto. It might also indicate a New York Film Fest premiere and/or and AFI Fest slot as well.
It almost certainly signals less of a chance that the film will make it to Telluride.
That's today's MTFB. Come back tomorrow for the first Ten Bets for TFF #45!
